In his song, King Solomon, under the image of the main heroine – the Shulamite (see Song of Solomon 6: 13, KJV), described the planet Venus, as is evident from the words of the Shulamite: - „I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.“ (Song of Solomon 2: 1, KJV) The concept of an 8-year cycle for Venus is a real astronomical phenomenon observed from Earth's perspective. This cycle is related to the relative orbital periods of Earth and Venus, and it manifests as a „pentagram“ or „rose“ shape traced in the sky over the 8-year period. - „The positions of first the Sun and then the Venus shadow make it possible to measure the exact position of Venus in the evening sky. Now this was an important measurement for these ancient astronomers, because when viewed from Earth, the planet Venus is the most accurate indicator of the time of year available in the solar system. Every eight years it marks a point when the solar calendar, the lunar calendar and the sidereal calendar all coincide to within a few minutes. After exactly forty years, when Venus completes five of its eight-year cycles, it synchro-nises to within fractions of a second, providing a calendar and clock that was used to set the time of day until the 1950s when even more accurate atomic clocks were invented. Put simply: Venus is the metronome of our world. Understand its movements and you can understand such vital functions as the seasons and the tides. It makes you master of your environment both in terms of farming and seamanship, and thereby ensures that you eat well and trade efficiently. In many ways it is the centrepiece of civilisation. Against the background of the zodiac Venus completes a five-pointed star shape every eight years and returns to its precise starting place after forty years.“ (see „The Book of Hiram“, Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, Publisher: „Element“ by Harper Collins Publishers, London, UK, 2005, Ch. – „The Crystal Palace“, pp. 41-42) It seems that all the key time events and prophecies in the Bible are linked to the 8-year cycles of the planet Venus. The Temple Mount itself – Zion, in the city of Jerusalem, was the original „Venus Hill“ of the World. One Generation of Venus was equated with 5 Cycles of the planet Venus or 40 years (5x8); one Age of Venus was equal to 12 Generations of Venus or = 480 years (12x40). Half an Era of the evening-morning star “Shalim” (the planet Venus) was 3 Ages of Venus or = 1,440 years (480x3). One full Era (“great year”) of Venus was 2,880 (360x8) Earth years. The key to any time prophecy related to the Temple in the city of Jerusalem is the 8 year cycles of the planet Venus - the Great Prince Michael, the Angel of Yahweh [“Yahweh“ is a association with planet Jupiter in heavens; - the mysterious twin star brother of the Sun (Amon); Jupiter is a God-Son (Sol-Amon)].
