Planetary Alignment and Magnetic Field Interaction - In regard to possible earth-changing effects from planetary alignment, magnetic field is more important than the distribution of the masses of the planets.

  Introduction

In May 5, 2000 a rare alignment of the planets will occur.  Might this magnified gravitational alignment create earth changes such as earthquakes and volcanoes?  Scientific calculations of the gravitational pull alone do not warrant any cause for interest.  It is the harmonic enhancement caused by the simultaneous alignment that most stirs the imagination (which, again, current scientific models of gravity would not confirm, but neither has modern science figured out the unified field theory, including a congruent model for gravity -- in other words, they don't know all the answers).

Think of tuning into a remote radio station and how sometimes the signal comes in strong and then barely at all, jumping back and forth.  The occasionally strong sound from only a weak signal comes from harmonics.

One of the best examples of harmonic resonance exaggerating a signal is when a modern suspension bridge was toppled by just the right breeze conditions.  I remember seeing footage of this as a child in elementary school.  There was this very substantial bridge waving up and down, up and down, like a toy, finally snapping.

This is why soldiers stop marching in step when they cross bridges.   The individual stepping has no effect, but when many soldiers step at the same rate, they can cause the bridge to collapse.

So also, as the various planets in our solar system wend their way around the sun, they are constantly exerting gravitational force on the earth, tugging it this way and that in small increments so as to not be felt here or to cause any problems.

What happens, however, when six planets are lined up at the same time, along with the sun and the moon?  Could there arise some kind of harmonic resonance of gravity waves?

Seeing as May 5, 2000 would therefore could likely be a significant date for life on this planet, I postulated that there would probably be something about it in the Alphabetics Bible Code.  (Click here for brief intro to Alphabetics.)

My hunch was to try the number 55, as it relates to the date, May 5.

What I found in the Code would seem confirms with an overwhelming YES, that May 5, 2000 will be a very significant day of earth changes as a result of the planetary convergence.  But it also leaves open a human factor of repentance -- something that a purely scientific approach would never even consider.  In other words, it would seem that this May 5, 2000 alignment contains the potential to impose chastening destructions on this planet.  Whether or not it does, and how severe they are, is contingent on how much we need a rattling to incline our hearts to God.

  Page 55 in Zodhiates' NT Lexicon

The first place I looked was page 55 in Zodhiates' Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament.

Page 55 happens to be the last page of the Index before the word listings begin.

I found that interesting, as it brought to my mind the idea of an era coming to an end and a new day dawning, with tribulations being the birthing pangs in-between.

I then noted that I had previously inserted the word "Zero" on that page of the index where it belonged alphabetically.  Ironically, the word after the insertion point of "Zero" is "Zion" -- which is coming, following the purifying tribulations.

Furthermore, "zero" in the present context brings to my mind the year "00" or 2000.  So there on page 55 (May 5) is an allusion to the year 2000 as well.

The last word on page 55 and therefore also the heading of the page is "Zorababel."  The index reports that Zorababel is word 2216 in the lexicon.

I then turned there to see what I might find.

First of all, Zorobabel comes from the Hebrew Zerubabal, which astonishingly is word 2216 in the Old Testament as well.

Think about that for a second.  The very last English word in the NT Index listing, Zorobabel, is the 2,216th word of the Greek New Testament.  The corollary word, Zerubabal is the 2,216th word of the Hebrew Old Testament.  The planets are not the only thing lining up in conjunction with May 5!

James Strong numbers 5624 words in the Greek New Testament and 8674 words in the Hebrew Old Testament.   (Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible -- the numbering standard.)  The odds are extremely low that one word have the identically same number in the Old and New Testament lexicons.  That this line-up would also happen to coincide with a page number that relates to the date of the planetary alignment is light-years beyond mere coincidence.

The word "Zorobabel" (or Zerubbabel), which comes immediately after the word Zion in English, means "begotten in Babylon."  Interesting that these strong antonym words would be thus juxtaposed for the sake of contrast.  This phenomenon is replete in Alphabetics.

Another phenomenon of this tool of alphabetics, is that words before and after a given word yield relevant commentary to that word.  This holds true for this present study as well.

The word immediately after "Zorobabel" in the Greek NT is zophos (2217).  I'm going to quote what Zodhiates gives as a definition for this word.   As I do so, think of earthquakes and volcanoes -- which is what we would likely see with this harmonic planetary line-up.

The word prior to word 2216 in Greek is zizanion which means "Tares," which is certainly an appropriate metaphorical word in this context of pending chastening calamities, whose purpose is to purify the people of God.  Zodhiates comments that the tares are "in appearance not unlike . . . wheat, having at first the same sort of stalk and the same greenness, but not bringing forth any worthwhile fruit."

Dovetailing into the idea of the wheat and tares being separated, a word shortly after word 2216 (Zerubbabel) in Hebrew means, "(1) to scatter, to disperse; (2) to winnow."  (2219, zarah (Gesenius))

Further emphasizing this theme, the unused root which Gesenius lists just after word 2216 means, "to prune trees; to clear them of leaves and branches."

The word prior to word 2216 in Hebrew conveys the idea of destruction and also fits the vision of volcanoes.  "To make narrow; to perish, to be dissipated; to pour out, to flow off, or away." (2215, zarab (Gesenius))

The phrase "to make narrow" conjures in my mind the image of the earth's contortion as a result of the extraordinary gravitational forces being exerted upon it.

Another word of note in this vicinity is word 2220, "an arm," which is used scripturally as a metaphor for the power of the Lord.  Indeed, such event would be part of the Lord making bare his arm.

  Word 55 in the Old Testament Lexicon

My next stop was to look at word 55 in Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament.  Again, as you read this definition, think of the idea of volcanoes and earthquakes in conjunction with a planetary alignment.

There are several things to note in this definition.

First, the word "roll," brings to mind the scripture, "and the heavens shall roll together like a scroll" -- not that this alignment of planets would catalyze this particular event foretold, but that it ties to the idea of the heavens, where the planets reside.

The word "intertwine," brings to my mind the idea of planets coinciding.

The remaining word explanation leaves little to the imagination so far as applying to the imagery of volcanic eruption and the darkness that ensues.

"smoke which lifts itself up in the air in a dense volume, not unlike water bubbling forth from the fountain"

The example scripture is likewise a fitting description (my comments in [brackets]):

Isa. 9:17, "and they [the heavens in our context] shall be rolled together [planets aligned] with the lifting up of smoke [volcanoes]."

The word after word 55 in Hebrew means "to mourn, to be languid, to walk with the head cast down," which would be a fitting description of the earth's inhabitants following the tragic loss of loved ones and livelihood which inevitably happens in such a cataclysm.

  Page 55 in Gesenius' OT Lexicon

Page 55 in  Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament

On that page is the word for "mother" (.! 517), which spans most of the page, including the following sub-definition found at the bottom of the first column, near the page number 55: "(7) metaphorically used of the earth as the mother of all men."

I think of "earth changes" in relation to the line-up of the planets.

Also of note is that I have written at the bottom of the page next to the page number that the Hebrew letter heh (%) which is the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and represents the number 5 also stands for women and the attributes of women such as kindness, gentleness, and intuition.  I had made this observation on "5/5/98" two years prior to this coming May 5 of significance, when the planets will line up with mother earth.

  Page 55 of the LDS Topical Guide

The first topic on page 55 of the LDS Topical Guide, which spills over from the previous page, is "Change."  Again, I think of "earth changes."

The last topic heading on page 55 is "Chastening," which is also apropos to the earth changes.

The heading before that is "Charity," which fits any context as a reminder of why God does what he does.  "For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth." (Heb. 12:6; Rev. 3:19; Prov. 13:24; Hel. 15:3; D&C 95:1.)  It is fitting, therefore that these two words, "Charity" and "chastening" would be immediately juxtaposed (a common feature in Alphabetics).

On the page prior is the topic heading "Chaff," which fits the idea of tares and winnowing, which are words that come before and after the word "Zarubbabel" in Hebrew and Greek, respectively.

Also on the previous page is the topic heading: Celestial.

  Page 55 in Webster's '71 Dictionary

In a dictionary I have lying around my house -- one which has been in our home since I was a child (Webster's '71) -- I found the following on page 55.

The first word on the page, and hence one of the headings, is "attune"

attune To tune or put in tune; to make accordant; fig.. to arrange fitly; to bring into harmony, concord, or agreement.

The application there to the alignment of six planets and the Sun and the Moon on May 5 is pretty obvious.

The next word likewise is apropos.

atypic Devoid of typical character, irregular.

An alignment like this occurs once every 6,000 years.

Several other words on the page have the "audio" prefix, which has to do with sound (which carries a strong connotation of harmonics), as does the last word on the page, "aural: relating to the ear."

Another applicable word on the page is "augment: to increase, to enlarge," which again fits the idea of the planetary alignment creating an augmented gravitational field due to the gravitational harmonics.

The next word fits the idea of these things being foretold in the Alphabetics Code.

augur One who foretells future events by omens; a prophet. To guess or conjecture, as from signs or omens; to predict; to anticipate.

And the next word seems to describe the scope of the event we are anticipating.

august Grand, magnificent, majestic, impressing awe; inspiring reverence.

  Page 55 in Thayer's NT Lexicon

Another place I looked for the occurrence of "55" is page 55 of Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament.

The first definition on this page, which spills over from the previous is

537 "-B"H hapas "The whole, all together, all."

This fits the idea of the planetary convergence.

A word further down this page, which fits the idea of the calamities that are likely to happen with this harmonic occurrence, is word 547 "apeile: A threatening, threat."

Along with the idea of a "threat" is the implied question as to how the inhabitants of the earth will respond to this threat that faces them.  Will they turn to God and live, or will they become more obstinate in their hearts.

Many words on page 55 seem to address this question.  Consider these next words in this context (the following definitions are quoted from Zodhiates, who is more clear, but the words being defined appear on p. 55 of Thayer's):

542 (from 545) apeitheia To look away from one thing toward another, to see to an end or perceive clearly.

543 (from 545) apeitheia Disobedience, unwillingness to be persuaded, willful unbelief, obstinacy.

544 (from 545) apeitho Not to allow oneself to be persuaded or believe.

Word  549 "to go away, depart," causes me to wonder about the possibility of God increasing or decreasing the severity of the calamity that comes in conjunction with the planetary line-up, depending upon how well we as inhabitants of this planet either turn to God or away from God.

To us mortals, it would seem that the path of the planets is pretty well set, and that any harmonic effect of a line-up is set as well.

But why should we wonder that God could adjust the outcome depending upon how we respond?

The next word seems to comment on several factors

550 apeipon: (1) To speak out, set forth, declare; (2) To forbid; (3) to give up, renounce."

With the first definition, I think of God "speaking out" through these codes regarding the calamities that await us and the need for us to repent.

The second and third definitions cause me to think of a rebuke toward sin and an admonition to turn away from it.  But it also brings to mind the truth that if we turn away from sin, so will destruction be turned away from us.

It is interesting that this word 550, begins with the digits "55" -- another convergence.

551 is the last word on the page and means "cannot be tempted by evil," which is the state of one whose heart has been transformed in Christ through the mighty change that accompanies the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.

That is as good a note as any to end this discussion.  And that would be a great way to have this 6,000 year era of wickedness end as the new heaven and new earth begin to come forth.

"I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." (Jer. 31:33.)

  Summary

Briefly here are some of the key words that came up in relation to words and pages number 55:

"celestial, harmonics, foretell, darkness, smoke, blackness, tempest, gloom, chaff, tares, winnowing, smoke which lifts itself up in dense volume, mother earth changes"

Any one of these discoveries would be interesting and significant in relation to the pending planetary alignment on May 5, 2000.  But the odds of all of them converging to tell such a consistent story is truly astronomical.

Again, as in other prophecies presented by almighty God, the most important operator is our agency.  To what extent will we turn to the Lord and repent of our iniquities so that we might be spared, both individually and as a people?
