The Revelation of John - A complex Halo Phenomenon
by Mark Vornhusen
Some weeks ago I found out, that the revelation of John is based on a
complex halo phenomenon. John saw his vision in the year 95 a.D. on the
island Patmos. I think he descirbes a halo phomemenon that starts in the
morning and ends with sunset.
I wrote a long abstract about my theory and published it on our webpage (
http://members.tripod.com/~regenbogen/halo_so/johannes.htm ) . So far this
text is only available in German language. Here I give you a very short
overview about the halos corresponding to his visions:
Rev. I, 7: "Behold, he is coming with the clouds!"= With high clouds halos
are coming
Rev. I, 13-20
- seven standing lamps= 120 deg parhelia, Liljequists parhelia,
antihelion
- son of man, robed down to his feet with white as snow-white wool
hair= 22 deg halo
- golden girdle round his breast= parhelic circle inside the 22 deg
halo
- eyes like flamed fire= parhelia to the 22 deg halo
- feet gleamed like burnished brass refined in furance= lower
tangent arc
- sharp two-edged sword out of his mouth= upper sun pillar
Rev. IV,3-6
- throne= upper tangent arc (sun elevation approx. 20 deg)
- the one who seats on the throne looking like jasper and cornelian=
Parry arc
- rainbow around the throne= supralateral arc or circumzenith arc
(translation in the German Bible: rainbow above the throne)
- sea of glass, like sheet of ice in front of the throne= bright
area between Parry arc and upper tangent arc
Rev. V, 6
- Lamb = upper tangent arc (horn), 22 deg halo (head) and parhelia
(eyes)
Rev. VI, 9
- altar= upper tangent arc (sun elevation now 40 deg, colour of the
altar is red, see Rev VIII,5: "the angle took fire from the altar)
- souls of those who had been slaughtered underneath the altar=
lower tangent arc
Rev. XII, 1-14
- woman robed with the sun and on her head a crown of twelve stars=
22deg halo and a half of the parhelic circle with 120 deg parhelia and
antihelion (sun elevation 50 deg)
- she was pregnant, and in the anguish of her labour she cried out
to be delivered= complete circumscribed halo (red)
- the great red dragon, with a tail that swept down a third of the
stars in the sky= circumhorizontal arc (sun elevation 65 deg)
- the gread dragon was thrown down= sun begins to sink,
circumhorizontal arc disapears at the horizon
- the woman who had given birth was given two great eagle`s wings=22
deg halo(woman), 1/2 of the parhelic circle on the side of the sun
(wings), sun elevation approx. 50 deg
Rev XIII, 1-18
two beasts= left and right infralateral arc
Rev XIX, 11
- sword= sun pillar
- eyes flamed like fire= parhelia to the 22 deg halo
- garment drenched in blood= supralateral arc
- diadems on his head= circumzenith arc
white horse= lower tangent arc (?)
Rev XX, 10-27; Rev XXI,1-5 (Vision of the holy city of Jerusalem)
- wall=complete parhelic circle (sun elevation 20 deg)
- gates like pearls= 120 deg parhelia
- lamb= upper tangent arc (very bright), 22 deg halo, parhelia to
the 22 deg halo
- Lord= Parry arc
- river, flowing from the throne= Wegeners arc (one part)
- street= Wegeners arc (the other part)
- tree with yields twelve crops of fruit= supralateral arc and/or
circumzenith arc
notice: he saw the city from a great high mountain, like a plan of a city;
the wall is square because of the discription of the holy city by Ezekiel
(Ez 48,30-35), of course the parhelic circle is a circle
I think the correspondence between the Revelation of John and a complex
halo phenomenon is quite good. I examined other christian visions in the
Bible. Also the visions of Ezekiel and Daniel (Dan 7, 1-28; Dan 8,
1-27; Dan 10, 1-21) are good candidates for halo displays.
