Joshua/Jesus, Son of Nun

Joshua, or Jesus , son of Nun (the “fish”), was regarded as the second great prophet after Moses, leading the Israelites to the promised land in Jericho, first encamping at Gilgal, or Galilee . Like Jacob, Joshua sets up twelve stones representing the tribes and the signs of the zodiac. The account of how, in Joshua’s day, the sun stood still has spawned much tortured speculation. In reality, it occurred twice each year and still does, at the solstices, as the meaning of the word “solstice” is “sun stands still,” the time when “the sun changes little in declination from one day to the next and appears to remain in one place north or south of the celestial equator.”[1228] The sun also reportedly stood still at the death of Krishna, centuries earlier: “1575 years before Christ, after the death of Cristna (Boodh the son of Deirca), the sun stood still to hear the pious ejaculations of Arjoon.”[1229] This solstice motif likewise appears in the mythologies of China and Mexico.[1230]

Of the Book of Joshua, Higgins relates:

Sir William Drummond has shown that the names of most of the places in Joshua are astrological; and General Vallancey has shown that Jacob’s prophecy is astrological also, and has a direct reference to the Constellations. [1231]

As to Joshua and various other aspects of the Old Testament, Higgins sums it up:

The pretended genealogy of the tenth chapter of Genesis [from Noah on down] is attended with much difficulty. It reads like a genealogy: it is notoriously a chart of geography.… I have no doubt that the allotment of lands by Joshua was astronomical. It was exactly on the same principle as the nomes of Egypt, which every one knows were named astronomically, or rather, perhaps, I should say, astrologically. The double meaning is clear … Most of the names … are found in the mystic work of Ezekiel.… [Genesis’s tenth] chapter divides the world into 72 nations. Much ingenuity must have been used to make them agree with the exact number of dodecans into which the great circle was divided. [1232]

In this same regard, a Muslim convert from Judaism, Abd’allah Ebn Saba, elevated Joshua to a divine status, as did various Shi’ite Muslims concerning a number of their imams.[1233]

Daniel

In the famous scene where Daniel interprets the dreams of Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar, it is implied that, while the others who attempted to do likewise were astrologers, soothsayers and the like, Daniel himself was not. On the contrary, Daniel, too, was an astrologer, and we also discover he is not a historical character, as Walker relates:

Writers of the Old Testament disliked the Danites, whom they called serpents (Genesis 49:17). Nevertheless, they adopted Dan-El or Daniel, a Phoenician god of divination, and transformed him into a Hebrew prophet. His magic powers were like those of the Danites emanating from the Goddess Dana and her sacred serpents. He served as court astrologer and dream-interpreter for both the Persian king Cyrus, and the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 1:21,
