New Comet Discovery--More Parallels With Mira and the Red Dragon



Interesting coincidences were piling up around a month ago on the date August 15, 2007. At the time, the Internet had been abuzz with speculation about an upcoming date, August 18th, which had been deciphered from a series of crop circles in England. With many already in anticipation of some world-changing event, a homily was given by Pope Benedict filled with references to the "red dragon" of the Book of Revelation and, on the same day, details of an amazing discovery were released by NASA regarding new properties of a known star, Mira, unlike any ever seen before. Interestingly, Mira herself is located in the constellation Cetus (gr, Whale). This constellation has been associated with ancient Mother of the Gods of Babylon, Tiamat. Tiamat is the dragon goddess of chaos who battled the Marduk the god of justice and light.

Once again we are drawn to the constellation Cetus with the discovery of a new comet, "P/2007S1(ZHAO)", named after the Chinese astronomer who recently discovered it. Coincidentally, the newly found comet was discovered in the constellation Cetus. Another reference to the red dragon comes to light: China has often been referred to as such! The constellation Cetus seems to be trying to tell us something.

Cetus is amidst a portion of the sky associated with the water signs of the zodiac: Pisces, Aquarius and Eridanus. Is it another coincidence that we are drawn to this wet portion of the heavens at a time when reports of record glacial meltdowns are going on around the planet? Perhaps forecasts of sea-level rises have been underestimated. Certainly, we have no expectation of what may actually occur when the mass of all that ice is redistributed around the globe.

When you look to the southern sky on one of these autumn nights, look carefully. There may be a sign there....

Update: Pope to give strong words on climate....

Mira, The Red Dragon and More Synchronicity

We recently posted an article about some interesting parallels between the discovery of bizarre new properties of a known star, Mira, and some impromptu statements made by Pope Benedict. In a recent homily he focused on the "red dragon", a major player in the Book of Revelation from the Christian Bible. The red dragon appears in Revelation 12:3:

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. The dragon lay in wait to devour the unborn child of a woman who is "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet... (Rev. 12:1)

Four major events occurred on the same day, August 15th, 2007:

1. The discoveries by NASA are released on the red giant Mira.

2. The Pope gives a homily in which he emphasizes the red dragon. The full text can be found here.

3. The feast of the Assumption took place.

4. The Peruvian earthquake occurred in which most who were killed were in a Catholic church celebrating the Feast of the Assumption.

For some reason, these events seemed to cross paths in a synchronous way. We had a gut feeling that perhaps they might all be pointing to something, to the same thing or to the many things that are occurring in these times. The buzz earlier in the week had been all about a series of crop circles that were pointing to a date of August 18th. Nothing happened, or so it seemed.
If you look at our main page you'll realize that something major did happen and is happening all over the world.

The crop circles pointing to the dates in mid-August were full of Mayan imagery and references; hurricane Dean swept across the Yucatan peninsula, the birthplace of the Mayans and their calendar, during this same August time frame. The Pope spoke of the evil power of the red dragon and it was announced to us on that same day, August 15th, that a sight unseen to human eyes had been discovered in space:



Excuse our poor Photoshop® rendering on the left, but on close inspection of the original NASA image (right) the face of a dragon seems to appear atop the head of Mira, the red giant star with a tail 13,000 light years long:

"And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth..." (Rev 12:4)

The Perseid Meteor shower also occurred within the last several days.

Ah, the fun of speculation on the end times!

The Red Dragon -- Some Interesting Coincidences

We've been watching some very interesting things in the news lately, seeing some significance in them and wonder just what the common thread might be. The first little tidbit of news that caught our eye was this little blurb from AFP (Agence France-Presse) which talks of the Pope's recent mention of the Red Dragon. A number of things were odd about the statement. First, it was made on the day of the Feast of the Assumption which marks the ascension of The Blessed Virgin's physical body into heaven. This day August 15th was also, coincidentally, a day when hundreds died in Peruvian Catholic churches celebrating the religious event. We quote from the article:

The pontiff said the "red dragon" had been embodied in "the great dictatorships of the past century: Nazism and Stalinism."

"Today, the dragon exists in various forms -- in the materialist ideologies which tell people that it is absurd to think about God, to observe the Commandments which are described as outdated, and that they should grab what they can." "It seems impossible to oppose this dominant mentality with all the media backing it has and the dragon once again appears to be invincible," he said.

"But God is stronger than the dragon and it is love which triumphs, not selfishness."

The red dragon appears in the Book of Revelation 12:3, we quote from the New American Standard Bible:

Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.

Another odd coincidence, on August 15th NASA released major and historic news in the world of astronomy. Using GALEX the Galaxy Evolution Explorer, scientists had discovered that a known star, Mira, was followed by a thirteen light year tail. The discovery was baffling, the mechanism for the existence of such an object is not known. To NASA the existence of such a thing in space just didn't make sense. Mira is, according to NASA's press release: "an older star called a red giant that is losing massive amounts of surface material." (emphasis added)

Could Mira be our red dragon?????
Watch the NASA animation below. Be sure to pause the video and look at it for a few seconds at about 33 seconds into the animation. Their animation of Mira could almost resemble a dragon, but that may be a stretch.

We did a little research on the word DIADEM, which is also mention in the same verse of Revelation as the red dragon, and it got us to thinking about some of the symbolism in a different way. "Diadem is the brightest star in the constellation Coma Berenices." Perhaps diadem does not refer to a crown at all, but a group of stars in the sky? Let us now disclaim that we are not claiming to be expert in Bible Prophecy, nor do we lay much credence to much of what has come from the analyzation of the Book of Revelation over the centuries. We have an amateur interest, simply because the work is packed with symbolism.

Interestingly, Mira herself is located in the constellation Cetus. This constellation has been associated with ancient Mother of the Gods of Babylon, Tiamat. Tiamat is the dragon goddess of chaos who battled the Marduk the god of justice and light.


Perhaps we are getting some kind of mixed message or accidentally encrypted warning with all of this red dragon stuff. We don't really know for sure what it all means. We are certain that the parallels are fascinating and after some more digging, we may find even more...
