which is the name of God revealed to Moses. Jupiter represents the King of Righteousness. The Hebrew name for Jupiter is Tzedeq,

Jupiter has long been recognized as the Messianic star that symbolizes the Messiah.

Antichrist and the False Prophet

This event occurs in the Constellation of Gemini, which is one of the constellations of the zodiac. It was one of
the 48 constellations described by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy and it remains one of the 88 modern
constellations today. Its name is Latin for "twins," and it is associated with the twins Castor and Pollux in Greek

mythology. Its symbol is . The sign of Gemini is governed by Mercury that symbolizes the Antichrist.
Constellation of Gemini:

In Babylonian astronomy, the stars Castor
and Pollux were known as the Great Twins.
The Twins were regarded as minor gods and
were called Meshlamtaea and Lugalirra,
meaning respectively 'The One who has
arisen from the Underworld' and the 'Mighty
King'. Both names can be understood as
titles of Nergal, the major Babylonian god of
plague and pestilence, who was king of the
Underworld. Gemini is dominated by Castor
and Pollux, two bright stars that appear
relatively close together. This encourages the
mythological link between the constellation
and twin-ship.

Gemini depicted as Twins (J. Aspin, 1825)

The sign (Gemini) is governed by Mercury, a planet noted for swift movement and symbolically associated with the interchange of ideas
and fluid responses to circumstances. Gemini is also linked with the 'element of air' which represents the mental and social realms, the
ability to formulate abstract ideas and to effectively interpret symbols, imagined concepts and communicative signals. 191

One of the twins of Gemini has arisen from the underworld. Could one of the twins be the sign of the first
beast, the Antichrist, and the other sign the False Prophet? In Revelation 13:11 the dragon is Satan, the devil.
While another beast “coming up out of the earth” from the underworld is the False Prophet. The False Prophet is
said to have “two horns like a lamb,” which represent a religious leader. The first beast is the Antichrist, who is
considered as a “Mighty King” according to Babylonian astronomy. We know from Daniel 11:21-24 the Antichrist,
“a despicable person,” will become a king in a “time of tranquility” during the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 13:11-14 “Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns
like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his
presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal
wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven
to the earth in the presence of men.”

14 “And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to
perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the
192
beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.”
