This archaeological detective story attempts to reveal the true meaning of the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments. The prophets of the ancient world, in their search for a calendar upon which to inscribe the dates of events far in the future, looked to the skies. The revolution of the stars and the progression of the constellations of the zodiac were an accurate and lasting means of measuring the passage of time. The astrologically-aligned monuments - such as the pyramids - were placed to record the progress of the years, counting down to the end of an age. The constellation of Orion, the figure of man set in stars, has now arrived at its northernmost point. At the same time, the summer-solstice sun is due to cross the eastern and western sky exactly over the pyramid of Khafre. Could this be the "Sign of the Son of Man" described in the Book of Revelation as marking the beginning of the Apocalypse?

Synopsis:

The constellation of Orion, the figure of Man set in stars, has now arrived at its northernmost point - a journey that has taken nearly 13,000 years. At the same time, the summer-solstice sun, in the hand of Orion, is due to cross the Eastern and Western sky exactly over the Khafre pyramid. The belt of Orion is now rising over the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem and on either side of the Orion constellation will be visible the seven planets of the ancients - the seven angels of prophecy. Could this be the Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, described in the "Book of Revelation" as marking the beginning of the Apocalypse? In a riveting archaeological detective story, Adrian Gilbert takes us back - from the wisdom of the ancients through the secrecy of the early Christian world. Using the same techniques that unlocked the secrets of the Egyptian pyramids in "The Orion Mystery", Gilbert penetrates the mysteries of prophecies set forth in the Old and New Testaments. In "Signs In The Sky", Gilbert brings his acute understanding of esoteric astrology to his investigations of ancient Egypt, the pyramids and the Bible. He explains how the constellation Orion, known to the ancients as the primary symbol for "the Son of Man in heaven," is the key to understanding many of the prophecies contained in the "Book of Revelation", as well as other books in the Bible. In this startlingly original book, he provides answers to some of the most profound questions of our time such as: Are we now at the end of one of history's great ages? And, what does the next one hold in store? Buried within the Old and New Testaments, Gilbert has found what might be the key to our future: the signs in the sky.

From the Back Cover:

In this riveting archaeological detective story, bestselling author Adrian Gilbert reveals the true meaning of the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments, prophecies that have an enormous significance for our own age.

The prophets of an ancient world, in their search for a fixed calendar on which to inscribe the dates of events far into the future, looked to the skies. In a world before electric light, the revolution of the stars and progression of the constellations of the zodiac were an accurate and lasting means of measuring the passage of time. The astrologically aligned monuments - such as the pyramids - were placed to record the progress of the years, counting down to the end of an age.
