SECRET III

the sign in sun, moon and stars

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus says that his return to earth will be preceded by people standing helpless before the sea and the waves. And that signs will appear in the sun and moon. They will be darkened, colored by blood, before Jesus returns. And then he urges man to straighten his back because the time is near. However, nothing is said about the length of time, about 'near'. Waiting for Christ and a better world mystics like Hilma have always looked for solar and lunar eclipses in connection with the Jewish festivals.

According to Jesus, the Son of Man’s own sign will appear in the heavens. There is a very special sign in our own time when four total lunar eclipses are followed by four total solar eclipses. The latter four all coincide with the beginning and end of the Jewish civil and religious New Years, respectively. What is presented below could be dismissed as a coincidence, but it should be noted already now that the sun/ring cross will reveal more secrets.

The circle and the square, the sunand the sky,the earth and the cosmos, and the cross— three universal symbols, three archetypal symbols found everywhere on earth. Heaven, Earth, and Christ—all shall one day become one in Christian mysticism. Hilma gives form to time and eternity through human symbols. When the first two paintings above are combined, they form a classic Christian symbol— the ring cross or sun crossencircled by a square. It has been shown how Hilma sought to depict the passage of time up to the year zero through the square formed by the zodiac signs around the circle in the paintings. In the last painting, the ring cross appears in the center of the image, surrounded by the symbolism of the rainbow. Here we have reached the year zero, counting from Adam’s birth—but is there now a continuation of Hilma’s secrets within the Christian calendar? What else do the signs want to tell us?

The perfect number(10) and the number of God's name(26) determined the side of the square in Hilma's second secret. The diameter of the circle thus has the same measure - 1026 - and the cross itself has the sum of the numbers 1026 + 1026. The same number of years from the winter solstice of year zero to the winter solstice of year 2052 when strange signs in the sun and moon will occur! From the year zero is also 108 lunar cycles to the year 2052. 108 is a sacred number in all major world religions except Islam and Christianity. Thus, in this particular year, signs seem to occur in the sun and moon.

The solar/ lunar eclipse assumes two different paths for the moon. The usual one through the zodiac, but also the lunar nodes that travel the same path, but not with the same orbital period. In fact, the orbits of the nodes create the conditions for the solar and lunar eclipses.

The solar cross formed by the first two panels could thus illustrate the two orbits of the Moon. We are looking for a year and a day, counting from year zero/one, when the moon's orbit and its nodes are at an angle. An imaginary line with the sun and moon (new/full moon) at right angles to the 'line' between the lunar nodes.

We look for the ring cross starting from the beginning of the astronomical zero year in the zodiac signs Aries/Libra and Cancer/Capricorn. The introduction of the new Roman calendar was linked to the winter solstice.

New Moon and Jewish New Year, solar eclipse and autumnal equinox on September 22, 2052. This Jewish year will end in 2053 with a total solar eclipse at the start of the Jewish New Year celebration, Rosh Hashanah, on September 12.

New Moon and Winter Solstice in the year 2052. The nodes are at an angle to the Moon and the Sun on this very day. It is a so-called “micro-moon,” preceded by the supermoon of the century. Hanukkah—the seventh candle is lit. A holiday that Jesus also celebrated.

New Moon and Jewish New Year, as well as the spring equinox and an annular solar eclipse on March 20, 2053. This marks the beginning of Passover. The year before that, on March 30, 2052, the first day of the New Year celebration is followed in the evening by a total solar eclipse.

His throne shall endure like the sun, be eternal like the moon the moon, the faithful witness in the sky (Ps, 89:37-38)

At the winter solstice in 2052, the Moon’s two orbits will form a “cross of time” with one another. Two total/annular solar eclipses—one before and one after the winter solstice in 2052—will frame this “cross of time” in the sky. All four will coincide with the beginning and end of the Jewish New Year celebrations.

The four arms of the cross are at the zero points of their respective zodiac signs. Time appears to be at zero in all four directions on this day in 2052.

The last new moon of the year occurs on the day of the winter solstice, coinciding with the climax of the Jewish Hanukkah celebration—the seventh day—a holiday celebrated as a symbol of liberation and joy. The full moon preceding it is the most powerful so-called “supermoon” of the century.

The Lord instructed Moses and the Jewish people to observe two annual cycles, both tied to religious holidays: Passover in the spring and Sukkot in the fall. Even today, Jews follow this natural order, in which the equinoxes and the moon serve as the basis for calculating holidays and years. The Essenes were already looking for signs in the sun and moon associated with these festivals. The two annular solar eclipses, before and after the winter solstice in the year 2052, occur not only on the same day as the start of a new year, but also on the day of the fall and spring equinoxes, respectively.

Beginning at the end of March 2052, on the first day of the Jewish month of Nisan, there will be a total solar eclipse. In total, there will now be foursolar eclipsesat four different locations on Earth, coinciding with the celebrations marking the beginning and end of the Jewish new year. Two eclipses will occur before the equinox and two after the winter solstice in 2052. None of the total phases of these eclipses will be visible in Israel itself.

The final total solar eclipse in the fall of 2053 will occur on the first day of the New Year celebration—Rosh Hashanah. According to tradition, the shofar will be blown throughout Israel on that day. The eclipse will traverse the countries of the Muslim world in a belt stretching from Morocco to Indonesia. The center of the eclipse and its longest duration will be between Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. In Israel, it will be 80% visible.

A tetrad, four lunar eclipses in a row that are all total, occurs in 2050/51. They precede the four solar eclipses of 2052/53.

"When all this begins, then straighten up and lift up your heads, for your deliverance is drawing near" (Luke 21: 28)

"But one thing you must not forget, my dear ones, for the Lord is a day like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day."

A year in which every second is 144 years long equals the age of the Earth—4.54 billion years. The age of the universe, written using the numbers 7 and 12, is 7 ¹²—13.8 billion years.
