To attempt to decode Revelations 7, let’s start with the angels holding back four corners, four winds, and an angel rising like the sun. This is a scene of the Heavens, outer space, the night sky.

Earth destruction is paused so that the 144,000 can be sealed, on the forehead, which means literally, “the space between the eyes.” This is where Goliath was struck; and in Ezekiel 3, the prophet is told, “I have made your forehead as an adamant harder than flint.

In Ezekiel 9, the prophet is told to go through Jerusalem and put a seal on the heads of all that sigh and cry at the abominations.


So, slaughter will commence shortly, and the 144,000 should be preserved, unkillable.

In Rev 21, we are told that 144 cubits is the measure of man that is of the angel. So, it’s the part of the man that is the same as an angel, our higher selves, our spiritual consciousness.

144 is also connected to the dodecahedron, the “sphere of universe,” 12 equal pentagons, equal to 72 right angles.

The 5 Platonic solids.

If 144 is the Angel in Man, then what’s 1000? (144×1000= 144,000).

From Chabad.org

1000= El Shaddai, the God of the Mountain. Therefore, 144,000 represents the apotheosis, or the union between man and God, or the apotheosis in Greek.

Now, the twelve tribes of Israel. Why are they included? At the time of the writing of Revelations, the ten tribes had been lost for generations, having assimilated into the Samaritans after the Babylonian Captivity.


The Shevatim, depicting the 12 tribes

From Albert Pike’s Zodiac correlation of the tribes’ blessings by Jacob in Genesis 49 and by Moses in Deuteronomy 33:

Judah: Lion, Leo, with Aquarius at Winter Solstice and Cancer at Vernal Equinox.

Reuben: Running water, Aquarius, flows toward the South Pole, ascending from Winter Solstice.

Gad: warrior, chief of his army, Mars, Aries

Asher: favored by his brothers, bathing his feet in oil, luxury, Libra

Naphtali: described as a free spirit, who delivers words of beauty, is Mercury, where Virgo lives.

Manasseh: Pisces by default

Simeon and Levi: grouped under the sword, like Gemini, the twin fish

Levi: hides Dan, who was called the judge and the serpent, Scorpio

Issachar: Ass, or donkey; in Cancer, stars are called asselli, or “little asses.”

Zebulun: Dwells on the shore of the sea, like Virgo, represented by the tail of a fish.

Joseph: hides Ephraim (Joseph’s son), described by Moses as a firstborn bull to gore the nations, Taurus

Benjamin: ravin as a wolf, Capricorn

(Note: if you want to harmonize the different blessings passages and create a single list of tribe: zodiac correlations, you can, but there are multiple ways to interpret the text.)

So, if it’s plausible to consider the 12 tribes of Israel as representations of the Zodiac, why? Why the Zodiac at all?

What’s the Zodiac? The wheel in the sky, the stars. If we become like the angels and achieve sanctification, we become like stars in the sky, which is also what God promised Abraham would become of his descendants.
