Default Jesus is the light.

There is a YouTube contributor who goes by the name of Xoroaster*. He has decoded the book of revelations. It reveals that Jesus is literally the light that was reborn during the eclipse of 71. The earlier eclipse was then seen as his birth.

Christianity becomes "light of the Sun" worship. "We are all children of light." Revelation is astrology. The movements of the stars, planets, sun (the light), write prophecy. Here's my interpretation of what happened back in 71, says John. I saw it in the stars.

You link goes to Xoroaster's channel, described as Eclectic Hillbilly Atheist. There are multiple lectures there. I clicked on one that seemed to be about Revelation, and it took me to a series of videos which seem interesting enough, but consists of a man off screen reading a script.

The videos seem well done and plausible, but I haven't spent enough time on the symbolism of Revelation to know how valid this is. Anyone who wants to check references would prefer to have the script. Is it available?

If jesus is the light, I'd hate to see the dark.

This is actually very good - Xoroaster ties in Revelation to contemporary Roman history, traces the configuration of the Constellations at the time using NASA sites.

I agree. That's why I posted it in this forum. It seemed to explain with evidence.

Cool videos, and inventive author. Not impressed at all with the ties he comes up with though, but maybe that's just me. Reminds me of numerology...patterns can be found in the skies and in history quite easily.

I enjoy Hank Williams, Sr.'s "I saw the light." The song really pulls at the heart.
