Here are some interesting YouTube videos featuring Jordan Maxwell, researcher of history and symbology. He says that the bible is nothing more than a story about the zodiac:

That's quite interesting, though it still doesn't bring us any closer to knowing why we're here - only to knowing the Bible isn't an original text, which many people sort of know already, or at least suspected.

It's a paradox sort of, not knowing why we are here because we weren't there at the beginning.

I do get a kick out of what astronomer Carl Sagan once said, that we are made out of "star stuff."

Maybe there is something to that astrology after all.

Jesus (Pisces), son of Mary (Virgo), enters into the new age of Aquarius. Do you suppose that's where the term "new age" movement comes from?

I always thought New Age referred to the age of Aquarius, at least originally.

So if Jesus, AKA Pisces, goes back into his House in the new age (of Aquarius), who's going to take over to save mankind? It says in the bible that the world when it is destroyed again, will be consumed by fire. But since we are entering another water sign, I wonder how Jordan Maxwell would explain that. Or is there nothing in the bible about that, speaking symbolically of course.

Here's Maxwell's homepage:

I'll ask him that question and post the reply.

I was under the impression that we would save ourselves in the age of aquarius, at least that's what they told me!

How odd. Sweet Slumber, those videos have been deleted due to "terms of use violation".

The Jesus "story" - not the Jesus who may have been a real person - but the story of a godlike figure who died around the winter solstice and was reborn in spring - is an old myth that has been repeated many times using different names instead of Jesus - Osiris, Dionysus, Adonis, Mithra, Tammuz, etc.

It has to do with the death of the Sun in winter (days getting shorter and shorter) and the rebirth of the Sun in spring.

So there is a connection between Jesus and the calendar, and the Zodiac is just a type of calendar.

I wonder if my emailing Jordan Maxwell and telling him where I saw the videos had anything to do with their disappearence?

Here's an exerpt of the email to Maxwell:

Hello Mr.Maxwell,

I watched a series of videos featuring you on YouTube called "Ancient Belief Systems." I enjoyed them and learned a lot. My question is, the bible states that the next time god destroys the earth, it will be by fire. Since we are leaving the age of Pisces and entering Aquarius (another water sign), does the bible explain this discrepancy? Is there a connection between the new age of Aquarius and the way the world will be destroyed, according to the bible?

Thanks for your time,

I havent' gotten a response yet.

Anyway, here's a video from google video called Naked Truth that features Maxwell: It mentions the same things you did:

"The Naked Truth" - Google Video

Perhaps it was placed on YouTube without Mr. Maxwell's permission.

I figure that. And I'm probably the one that tipped him off about the vids in the first place.

Anyway, when you have time, check out the film. Some very good info on it about astrology and the origins of the bible.
