The Deceiving Dragon Comets and the Cup of God’s Divine Wrath

Signs of a Comet - Part 4: Probability of 4 comets and their wanderings through the Mazzaroth - are they signs?

Introduction

I captured the following two photographs on Wednesday, October 17th, 2024. Rising in the East through the trees was the largest supermoon of 2024 and following the setting sun in the West was the “Comet of the Century” C/2023 A3 (Tshuchinshan-ATLAS). My eyes had to adjust from the moon's brightness to the comet's faintness using Venus (to the left) and Arcturus (to the right) as reference points to locate the comet. The comet reminded me of a boiling pot or kettle spewing steam (Jeremiah 1:13–19).

This research article will examine

• Who is the deceiver of the world?

• What else may soon be visible?

• Where is the cup and what does it represent?

Hypothesis: Wandering Stars = Comets

Let’s review the hypothesis from the last article which looks at Jude 13.

The Book of Jude: Waves of the Sea, Wandering Stars, and the Seed of the Woman

…wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

Jude 13, ESV

The ancients could use the sun, moon, and planets to mark their calendars and feasts as they traversed across the constellations (Hebrew: Mazzaroth), but they could not rely upon the “wandering stars”. The International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia, states the “wandering stars”, astéres planḗtai [Greek] are not our “planets,” but most likely comets.¹

Two Comets at The Foot of the Virgin

On October 15th, 2024, the “Comet of the Century” C/2023 A3 (Tshuchinshan-ATLAS), is shown below at the feet of the virgin. Yet not visible to the human eye is the comet 13P/Olbers within 1 degree of separation from the “Comet of the Century”, like a cosmic hand-off.

• C/2023 A3 (Tshuchinshan-ATLAS) - 80k year orbit² (orbit years not available in SkyLive.com)³ and

• 13P/Olbers (69-year orbit).

The probability of C/2023 A3 and 13P orbiting the sun in the same year is calculated below:

1/80,000 x 1/69 = 1/5,520,000 years

In April 2024, the comets 13P/Olbers and 12P/Pons-Brooks “The Devil’s Comet” were both in Taurus along with a conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter.

• 12P/Pons-Brooks (71-year orbit) and

• 13P/Olbers (69-year orbit).

The probability of 12P and 13P orbiting the sun in the same year is calculated below:

1/71 x 1/69 = 1/4899 years

The probability that these three comets are in the same year 2024:

1/80,000 x 1/69 x 1/71 = 1/391,920,000 years
= 1 out of three hundred ninety-one million nine hundred twenty thousand years

Let’s review the “Comet of the Century” and its path.

The Deceiver of the World Wanders Through the Mazzaroth

In Jude 13, the “wandering star” or comet is compared to an “erratic teacher”. The Greek root word for wanderer, planētēs, is planē or planos which denotes error, deceit, deceiver, and deceitful.⁴

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Revelation 12:9, ESV⁵

The tail of the comet points away from the sun and it switches direction around the sun near Spica the Seed of the Woman.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The comet flies toward Serpens the serpent and will travel out to the gloom of utter darkness past Ophiucus which the Greeks call Asclepius, the false god of medicine. The Lexham Bible Dictionary, states,

Asclepius was known as the son of the god Apollo and the mortal woman Coronis.* According to Graeco-Roman mythology, Apollo killed Coronis out of jealousy, but he saved Asclepius from her womb. He then gave Asclepius to the centaur Chiron to raise (Pindar, Pythian 3.5; Ovid, Metamorphoses 2.542–648). Chiron’s daughter, Ocyrrhoe, prophetically called him the “great physician of the world” (Metamorphoses 2.542–555). Zeus killed Asclepius as a consequence of raising a dead man to life (Pindar, Pythian 3.55–60). Asclepius was later given divine status by Zeus and was worshiped and prayed to for healing (Justin Martyr, First Apology 21.2).⁷ [emphasis added]

*if the story is more than just Greek mythology then Asclepius would be a type of Nephilim. The hybrid offspring of a lesser god and a mortal woman.

The Rod of Asclepius appears on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) logo. The WHO and UN, possible candidates for the Beast of the Sea, are given authority by the dragon to make war with the remnant seed.

Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) in the Mazzaroth

Another comet was discovered by ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System). C/2024 S1 takes a parallel path through the firmament over Hydra, the crooked serpent.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Job 26:13, KJV⁸ [emphasis added]

The comet then travels over Crater, a cup, which has been interpreted in God's Voice in the Stars as the Cup of Divine Wrath.⁹

9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

Revelation 14:9–10, ESV¹⁰ [emphasis added]

Corvus, the raven, is associated with birds that feast on the evil ones,

²⁰ And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. ²¹ And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh. 

Re 19:20–21, ESV¹¹

The comet then spins around the sun right near Spica, the seed of the woman.

(source: The path of C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) across the sky, StarWalk, ©Vito Technology, Inc., text from Fleming, K. C. God's Voice in the Stars)

C/2024 S1 has an orbit period of 8,572 years¹²

The probability that these four comets are in the same year 2024:

1/80,000 x 1/69 x 1/71 x 1/8572 = 1/3.35953824e12 years
= 1 out of three trillion three hundred fifty-nine billion five hundred thirty-eight million two hundred forty thousand years

In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword Shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, Even leviathan that crooked serpent; And he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Isaiah 27:1, KJV¹³

In Closing

  • Jude 13 - A “wandering star” is compared to a “false teacher” who also deceives.

  • The Greek root word for wanderer, planētēs, is planē or planos which denotes error, deceit, deceiver, and deceitful.

• What else may soon be visible?

  • Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) follows C/2023 A3 (Tshuchinshan-ATLAS)

  • Note: C/2024 S1 may be difficult to see as it moves closer to the sun and is currently in Crater the Cup.

• Where is the cup and what does it represent?

  • Comet C/2024 S1 (ATLAS) passes through Hydra, Crater (Cup of Divine Wrath), and Corvus (the raven, bird gorging on the enemies of God Most High)

  • The Cup of Divine Wrath is described in Revelation 14 and 16.

¹⁰ he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 

Re 14:10–16:19, ESV¹⁴

¹⁹ The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.¹⁵ 

Re 16:19–17:4, ESV

The imagery of a winepress in Revelation correlates to the cup and connects with the Book of Job.

Let their own eyes see their destruction, 

and let them drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 

Job 21:20, ESV¹⁶

  Dear Lord God Most High,

⁴  Who will not fear, O Lord, 

and glorify your name? 

For you alone are holy. 

All nations will come 

and worship you, 

for your righteous acts have been revealed.” 

Re 15:4, ESV¹⁷

 

Logos has various versions of the Bible, commentaries, and Greek/Hebrew language references. The cross-reference features are amazing.
