The Hand That Rocks the Cradle - Boomer On The Ground :

A Faithful Witness

By

Thomas B. Wallace

            If you have been paying attention to this WebZine, or the RumorMillNews, then you will know that there are a great many people who have noticed some rather unsubtle changes in the “…heavenlies…”

The moon and the stars have been “…out of joint…”, behaving not at all as the reliable and steady heavenly bodies upon which we have come to depend for guidance from season to season, from planting to harvest, from spring thaw to winter freeze. They have instead begun to resemble the harridans of old that proclaimed with their high pitched and erratic behavior the doom being proclaimed upon an age by the prophets.

I have tried, in this series of articles to document many curious and difficult to fathom events in order that people might take notice and therefore begin, at least, to prepare “…the ways of the Lord…” and to make “… His ways straight…”; as I believe, to the core of my soul that only God Himself has the power, and the authority to cause these events to which this series has dedicated its documentation.

What is truly bizarre is that those to whom these revealing insights are directed, those who believe and await the Bridegroom’s approach with equanimity and poise, seem not to understand that He approaches even now, this moment, and that the “…signs of the times…” are indeed upon us.

This particular article will demonstrate a movement and positioning of a particular constellation that is familiar to all and to whom all who have ever looked at a night time winter sky will appear completely out of place. The Great Hunter, Orion, has risen to a height in the mid-summer sky to which he does not normally climb and taken a recumbence that belies his prowess as a hunter.

In the following photos – they are representations of this author’s own observations taken from existing photos and manipulated to reflect those observations – the reader shall see, that not only has the moon rotated out of place in the mind's eye of those who observe from this planet, but so has the plane of the solar ecliptic and the zodiac. There can be only a single explanation for these shifts in the perceived positions of these celestial objects. The axis of the earth is in a severe and potentially wrenching state of wobble and there can be no known power on this planet that can either have caused it, or can hope to stop it before it reaches the end towards which it is intended.

I will not pretend to know the physics of it in any detailed sense, but I do know enough to know that it is both undeniable and potentially cataclysmic in consequence. Truly, if this continues, and is not more than a “shot across our bow” so to speak, then there will come a time when “the high places will be made flat, and the low places raised up, and men will crawl into holes in the ground and pray that the mountains would fall on them”. From the perspective of one who is a member of the Bride of Christ this is a signal to stand up, and to proclaim a witness to the power and majesty of God in the face of a prideful and disdaining humanity whose reach has far exceeded its grasp of the consequences.

I do not mean to preach, or to condemn any man or woman. Each will, ultimately stand or fall by his or her own particular response to God’s call on their souls. I only wish to inform, those who believe and those who do not, that the time is indeed short to frame that response and to make the “…ways of the Lord straight…” To that end I will continue to observe the signs and wonders that God is sending us in these days that are “…the beginning of travail…” and bear a faithful witness of them to all my brothers and sisters whom God has blessed to “… have an ear that they might hear, and have an eye that they might see…”

In the early morning hours of August 20th, 2004 at 04:00, while driving along the central Louisiana Gulf Coastline I saw the constellation Orion in the Southeastern sky about 20 - 30 degrees above the horizon at azimuth from 90 - 140 degrees. Not only was it a little out of the ordinary to see Orion so high in the sky during a midsummer morning, which usually finds Orion well down in declination at this time of year, but strangely Orion did not appear to be the bold and certain hunter to which we are accustomed in the following photo:

I have included the trees at the bottom of this photo so that the reader can see the general orientation that Orion takes in the night sky, in this particular photo sometime in December. Now I would like the reader to see Orion as I saw him at 04:00 hours, August 20th, 2004...

Now the reader should understand that this is the same photo, only with the trees cropped out of the bottom and rotated to reflect the positions of the stars in this constellation as I saw them on this particular night. Another thing the reader should understand is that the Constellation Orion lies along the plane of the ecliptic in an upright posture and rises and sets in an upright position that will move a little bit, approximately 21 degrees, as the earth spins because of the earth's 21 degree tilt relative to the plane of the ecliptic. That means there will be times during the year, particularly in the winter, when Orion will be completely visible in the night sky in the northern hemisphere, and there will be times, particularly the summer, when it is barely visible at all in the night sky. The following photo is an example of the kind of off center rotation that might appear secondary to the tilt of the earth relative to the plane of the ecliptic...

Normal Upright Orion Sectored  Normal Upright Orion Unsectored

This is 21 degree tilt sectored          and this is same without sectoring

What follows are side by side comparisons of what I saw on August 20th first sectored and then without the sectoring...

Orion 08-20-04 Sectored              Orion 08/20/04 Unsectored

On all of these photos that have been sectored I drew a line from side to side just below Orion's Belt and side to side at right angles to Orion's belt directly through the center star in the belt, and then a straight line through the stars of Orion's sword that passed through the right angle jucnture of the other two lines. The reader's attention is drawn to the difference in angles of this last line through the first two comparisons, with the normal, 21 degree narrowing of the original angle from 45 degrees to about 20 - 24 degrees. Now see how the difference between this 21 degree rotation and the apparently almost 90 degree ratotation of the third set...

I am not a physicist, nor an astronomer. I do not know precisely what position the earth must have moved to in order for these changes to have taken place, but I do know that since the stars themselves are still forming the same basic patterns, only at a different angle, then the problem has to be one of perspective. Since I have not changed where I view Orion from in any significant sense on the surface of this planet, then there can be only one explanation for these changes... the surface of this planet has shifted in relationship to the plane of the ecliptic and the solar equator. There is no other reasonable possibility that comes to mind.

It goes without saying that there are forces here that far exceed my own poor powers and that I would not attempt to stand in the way of even were it possible. That is not to say that I cannot do anything at all, or that others cannot do anything at all, to allay the potential for disaster that these events may presage. What does seem evident is that we, as a species, must rely on the same forces that brought about our creation in the first place to insure our survival as a species.

When it comes down to it, it seems then that our faith will ultimately be the only tool for survival that we can wield with any effect. After all, if the God who made us can, upon the moment, set the cradle of our birth to rocking in the universal wind, as we sit precariously upon the bough of our orbit about the sun, then too should we not look to that same hand to steady us in the hour of our trial by those same forces?
