Joshua’s Long Day Sun miracles in the New Testament You can see in this zodiac from the Beth Alpha Synagogue below, 600 AD. There are many zodiacs in ancient Israel synagogues, that the fish of Pisces face both directions perhaps from Old Testament tradition. This may indicate the Israelites were familiar with earth flowing into a reverse orbit of the sun. Thus, for half a year or a year they would experience the zodiac progressing in reverse. This may have happened as often as every seven years. They would be very conscious this was connected to the sun miracles God performed for their benefit. You can see the chariot of the sun in the middle. The sun and chariot were not to be depicted in the synagogues of Israel. Beit Alpha.jpg Picture credit: HAPPINESS SURROUNDS YOU: The Stamp Booklet Guide to Happiness. p.197 Just before Augustus Caesar's death in August 19, 14 AD, also about when the High Priest Annas was replaced: "Thus, the sun suffered a total eclipse and most of the sky seemed to be on fire; glowing embers appeared to be falling from it and blood-red comets were seen." Dio Cassius, Book LVI p.67 The sun travelling near the speed of light because of time slowed by relativity the sun would appear red and dark = light shifted to the red end of the light spectrum, and the planets and comets would reflect this red light. Julius Caesar died on the Ides of March, the full moon when also was the Passover in Israel in 44 BC. 44 BC was 37 years before Jesus' birth in 7 BC. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle at that passover in 44 BC to point to Jesus' life of 38 years and his sacrifice in April 3, 33 AD. Thus, Jesus' birth 38 years later in 7 BC. Julius Caesar's wife Cornelia died in 68 BC. There could have been a sun miracle in 68 BC = 100 years before Jesus' sacrifice that was an omen preceding her death. October 6, 68 BC, Lucius Lucullus defeats Tigranes II of Armenia in the Battle of Artaxata. Wikipedia Tigranes' army panicked and fled. Perhaps there was an omen of a sun miracle for their panic. Similarily, the Spartans let the Persians of Xerxes escape because of the omen of a partial solar eclipse in Greece, September 12, 470 BC. "The August 1, 477 BC does not match exactly the conventional dates for the invasion accepted by historians." Wikipedia - solar eclipse The solar eclipse prediction of Thales of Miletus should be September 7, 591 BC, not May 28, 585 BC. September was the fifth month in 591 BC, not May. An eclipse recorded by Herodotus before Xerxes departed on this expedition that ended at the battle of Salamis cannot be 480 BC nor February 17, 478 BC. Jeremiah 1:3 "It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month." The fifth month was the captivity, September 7, 591 BC. The book of Esther may include a sun miracle 10 years more recent about, in the spring of 470 BC. There was a solar eclipse of March 20, 470 BC that covered a small part of the sun visible from Persia. Back one half orbit, 187 days, from this October 6 is April 1, 68 BC, the full moon and Passover. Thus, there may have been a sun miracle 100 years before Jesus' crucifixion, April 3, 33 AD. Coins from this time depict a star by Julius Caesar. Later the star was replaced by a comet. If the sun moved to the other side of earth at the passover in spring, then the bright star of Vega would appear overhead at midnight. The magnitude level of the sun and stars is supposed to start with Vega at zero magnitude. Thus, anything brighter is - negative magnitude and anything dimmer is + positive magnitude. The sun would normally be in Vega at spring. Thus, this star by Julius Caesar may be Vega. Annas became High Priest, in 6 AD, when Jesus was 12 years old: Born in September 12, 7 BC, Jesus would be 12 in 6 AD: Luke 2:42 "And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 2:43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 2:44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 2:48 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" There was no solar eclipse visible then. If the sun was red, comets would appear red too. Or perhaps these blood red comets were phoenixes. The morning star may be the phoenix pulling the sun. The sudden and perhaps bright sunrise of Gideon may have been a type of the resurrection morning. Pilate is said to have wrote Caesar Tiberius. This letter was actually written according to Bible prophesy, not by Pilate. However, the pattern of sun miracles in the Bible most probably occurred in Jesus' lifetime: "And at the third hour of the night the sun appeared more luminous than it had ever shone, lighting up the whole hemisphere." This could begin a second half reverse orbit at Jesus' resurrection in the same way as for Gideon. There may have been a sun miracle to begin Jesus' ministry in Luke 4, August 28, 29 AD or September 9, 29 AD. In this 29 AD: "Emperor Guangwu of Han, 5th year of the Jianwu reign period. A guest star trespassed against YUZUO extremely closely." East Asian Archaeology, p.130. YUZUO is the imperial throne near the Big Dipper, near Arcturus and Virgo. A sun miracle at the start of the jubile, either August 28, 29 AD or September 9, 29 AD, would mean the Big Dipper when normally pointing down at midnight in summer would point up at midnight the following summer night. The handle of the Big Dipper points to Arcturus. Then Arcturus would pass over head at midnight in August/September. A sun miracle then would be seen as a threat to the imperial throne, an occasion for a revolution. Guangwu became emperor in 25 AD and from 27 AD to 36 AD - the period looked at here - he waged war with various warlords. Sun miracles often triggered revolution in China. So he would be sensitive to a sign from heaven that could cause rebellion against him that could overthrow his kingdom. Such as this one very nearly did. John 1:5 "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe." John 1:26 "John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." This would be at the time of the Passover in spring of 29 AD. The Pharisees may have come to John the Baptist on the Sabbath the first of Nissan, March 5, 29 AD. Then the Passover, Saturday, March 19, 29 AD. Then 187 days from the new moon March 7, 29 AD is half an orbit and is Yom Kippur, the jubile, September 9, 29 AD. (The captivity was September 7, 591 BC the seventh day of the seventh month) Then there may have been a sun miracle a year before, full 365 day orbit before, perhaps September 7, 28 AD on the first day of the seventh month. Jesus began to be about 30 or rather 35 years of age in Luke, probably September 17, 29 AD. Jesus may have been born on the 17th day of the 7th month = September 13, 7 BC. Then his birthday would be September 15, 29 AD the 17th day of the 7th month; when he began to be 35 years of age. Perhaps Rosh Hashanah August 28, 29 AD, or Yom Kippur Friday September 9, 29 AD, be the day Jesus read from Isaiah 61 to fulfill the beginning of the 50 year jubile. Then the Gospels start with Jesus when he began to be about 30, perhaps he began to be 35, after he was baptized, September 15, 29 AD = the date of Jesus' birth September 12, 7 BC.

    Joshua's Long Day Continued

    Joshua's Long Day continued Joshua 10:13b "So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day". This is a record of fact, an eye witness account - not alleged, not a metaphor, not an allegory, and not pretext, not a myth set to poetry and not a command to the deities of the sun and moon. This was not a localized event. There is only one sun and one moon seen from the whole earth. Purple Sun, and Crimson and Ruby Sun There may be a search for evidence of sun miracles in the daily coral layers. True wisdom costs us our all. The price of wisdom is not money. It is our will and beyond ruby like suns. The price of ancient coral is about $100,000 a kilo. Job 28:18 "No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies." Perhaps the sun appeared purple as a ruby as the Chinese recorded at the sun miracle in 141 BC when the sun may have been dimmed. "On the last day of the twelfth month (11 February 141 BC) it thundered. The sun appeared purple. Five planets moved in retrograde and guarded the constellation T'ai-wei. The moon passed through the center of the constellation T'ien-t'ing." The Grand Scribes Records, Volume II, p.213. The moon was in the polar region of the sky. The sun must move 180° from Scorpius to Taurus. Thus, the sun would appear nearer the pole star and in the polar region.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: a THEMATIC RECONSIDERATION

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: A THEMATIC RECONSIDERATION OF THE GALLERIA RUCELLAI OF JACOPO ZUCCHI Adam Alexander Rudolphi, Jr., Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Anthony Colantuono Department of Art History & Archaeology This dissertation presents new research into the Galleria Rucellai, a longitudinal, decorated interior created by Jacopo Zucchi for Orazio Rucellai sometime between 1586 and 1591, arguing for a unifying theme, namely time. Zucchi’s technical and artistic formation, his social and patronal milieu in the years leading up to the execution of the Galleria’s frescoes, and the identities of the patron and his family are key considerations, each connected to the proposed theme. The linearity of time, both as a sequence of lived or historical weeks and years and as an experiential index for the visual material assembled and subsequently described by Zucchi in his later treatise on the Galleria, constitutes the unifying thread. In selecting time as a theme for this monumental domestic decoration program for Rucellai’s Roman palace, Zucchi meditates on its very nature, from intangible and distant mythological origin narratives from antiquity and Rucellai lore to the biographies of figures both famous and forgotten from Ancient Rome, in the era of the Gregorian Reform of the calendar, which changed how time’s passage is marked. Concepts of lineage and descent, whether mythological, familial, or dynastic, express the theme and allow digression into examinations of biography and character, oscillating between the exemplary and the infamous and culminating in a uniquely Italian iteration of vanitas imagery. This combination of exemplum virtutis and memento mori both emphasizes the persistence of a complex form of identity, composed of the physical body, recorded actions, and external, sometimes posthumous character appraisal, and exhorts the viewer to careful consideration of behavior and life choices in the face of death as an end to the human experience of time.

    The Art of War's Impact on the World

    The Art of War’s Impact on the World Gia-Maxine. Jimenez Junior Division Historical Paper Word Count: 2306 Process Paper Word Count: 379 1 Process Paper How did I choose my topic? I have a personal theme for all my NHD projects: I want to explore my other nationalities (other than the Philippines) so I research Japanese history or Chinese for my project. I also wanted to research something I liked, like philosophy. Philosophy is something I connect to, something I want to study. So I came to the only Asian philosopher that came to mind, Sun Tzu. How did I conduct my research? I started researching the ways in which my topic influenced people. From there, I started looking into how it influenced them, like how Gary Gagliardi was. As I researched more, I came across a website that had information on how Sun Tzu influenced ancient China. Why did I choose my category and how did I create my project? I did a paper last year, but I didn’t make it to regionals. I wanted to improve my writing skills so I could make up for last year, to do that I did the same process with a few changes. After I did my research, I followed my outline (the one that was in my head). It wasn’t much of an effort because last year I tried to make it fancy with unique words and cool phrases, like a novel. In the process, I took out two sections of my paper’s body: one didn’t seem to portray my topic that well and the other-- after further research --was in debate, questioning the existence of said event.

I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student: Date: 10/10/2014 i Acknowledgments The word “sustainability” was first presented to me when I was pursuing my master degree in International Economics in Guangxi University in China. It was a completely new concept during the late 1990s in China, and it was not attractive to students or teachers since China was in its first phase of “Made in China” to attract foreign investment and managerial skills. Sustainability was not ignored, but it was out of the mainstream of economic and managerial thought at that time. Early in 2000, I was nominated, by a state-owned international enterprise in the People’s Republic of China, project manager and senior economist to a hydropower station project in Nepal. For me this was an opportunity to become involved, at a practical level, in the worldwide struggle of beliefs, values and trade-offs that surround “sustainability”.

    The Chronology of Saul and David,” Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society Volume 53 (2010) Pp

    PUBLISHED DETAILS Leslie McFall, “The Chronology of Saul and David,” Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society volume 53 (2010) pp. 475-533. This PDF presentation has been paginated to agree with the published JETS version (American spelling retained). THE CHRONOLOGY OF SAUL AND DAVID Leslie McFall* I. INTRODUCTION The lives of David and Saul hold a fascination for human beings of all ages. The story of David and Goliath and of Saul’s spear embedded in the wall as David ducked to avoid it on two occasions has inspired painters, musicians and artists of all kinds down through the centuries and is part of our childhood memories. But just how old was David when he slew Goliath? Sometimes he is presented as a lad of 15 or 16 years of age, sometimes even younger (Josephus says he was “still a boy in age”), to give greater glory to God. Is it possible to draw up a chronology of Saul and David, so that we can get a clearer, historical perspective on the lives of these two influential men? I think we can, and surprisingly, the pivotal clue is contained in the enigmatic statement in 1 Sam 13:1, the only chronological statement relating to Saul’s life in the OT. 1. The enigma of 1 Samuel 13:1. The New Revised Standard Version (1995) reads: “Saul was . b years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for . and two c years over Israel.” The footnote b reads: “The number is lacking in the Heb text (the verse is lacking in the Septuagint).” Footnote c reads: “Two is not the entire number; something has dropped out.” 1 The English Standard Version (2001) reads much the same.

    Joshua's Long Day - Skip to the Long Version Joshua 10 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon upon Ajalon. 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down a whole day. 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel." NASA states on their web site: "According to the laws of physics, there are only two possible explanations for having the Sun stand still in the sky for a day: (1) the Earth would essentially have to stop spinning on its axis...for which there is no evidence. - or- (2) the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no evidence of this occurring either." The Sun standing still at noon for Joshua for a day may have been produced by God moving the Sun around the Earth. The history and the working model are given here. God may have moved the sun around the earth with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky.
