Earth Centric Weekday Planet Names


Overview


The Old Testament reflects our days of the week were to be represented by numbers only; Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc.  Sometime after that the days of the weeks were all assigned names based on our solar system.  The descendants of Noah used the knowledge from their forefather Enoch to tell time based on the sun and used the moon as a sign of proper alignment.  Flavius Josephus, a first century historian, tells us that Noah and his forefathers lived many years so that they would have time to work on astronomical and geometrical discoveries:

God afforded them a longer time of life on account of their virtue, and the good use they made of it in astronomical and geometrical discoveries, which would not have afforded the time of foretelling [the periods of the stars] unless they had lived six hundred years; for the great year is completed in that interval.”

Therefore, the descendants of Noah may have discovered more about our solar system then what Enoch had documented for them.  Based on the information in our bibles and information in the book of Enoch, it would appear that they had a good understanding of our solar system.  Plus they left us monuments like Stonehenge in England and in other places in our world that proved they understood the solar system. Plus the ancient pyramids of Giza and Teotihuacan are aligned to the sun and Orion’s belt.   

The word planet is not in our bibles since the ancients called them stars.  The planets were considered ‘wondering stars’ and they referenced in our bibles as ‘morning stars’ or ‘evening stars’ in our bible.   Our ancestors did think that the planets orbited the earth and not the sun.  For over 2000 years our ancestors used the Geocentric (earth centric; planets orbited the earth) model based on Aristotle (b. 384BC) and Ptolemy (b. 100 AD) work and observations. The Geocentric model was known to exist prior to Socrates (b. 470 BC).  In 1543 Catholic cleric named Copernicus published a Heliocentric (sun centric:  planet orbited the sun) model which was later supported by Galileo and became the model used today.  Then 39 years later Pope Gregory changed our calendar starting in 1582 which was not accepted by all Christian countries until 1922.  The Russians did not change to the Pope’s calendar until 1918 after the October Revolution which resulted in Tsar Nicholas was forced into abdication. Greece was the last country to accept the Pope’s calendar in 1922 which did not occur until after the 11 Sept 1922 revolution.   Christians were slow to accept both the heliocentric model and the Pope’s calendar changes.  Our weekdays being named after planets occurred during the time our ancestors believed in a geocentric model.


A larger picture can be viewed at the link below. The numbers on the left side of picture represent the planets distance to the center of the earth.  Notice the meridian was located in North America back then.  The right side shows the time it takes each planet to orbit the earth.


Weekday Names are Planets


The table below is from the 1903 Encyclopedia Biblica, Volume 4, page5291, and it shows how the Babylon planet names transitioned into our current day English names:


This bible encyclopedia goes on to state that the planet that resided over the first hour of the day presided over the whole day.




Our bible does mention the morning and evening stars.  The morning star is the star that rises just before the sun and the evening star is the star that rises first at the evening of the sun.  The English words ‘morning star’ are translated from different Greek and Latin words though.  Here are the definitions of these words:

Greek G2193.1 Εωσφόρος, Heōsphóros from Ἕως (Héōs, “dawn”) + φέρω (phérō, “to bear, to carry”) and used as a noun means the morning star, the planet Venus.

Greek G5459 φωσφόρος, (phōsphoros) from phos and phero, light-bringing, the morning star, day star.

Latin Lūcifer, From lūx, lūcis (“light”) +‎ -i- +‎ -fer (“-carrying”). Used as an adjective it means ‘light bringing’ and used as an noun it means ‘morning stardaystar, planet Venus

Here are examples of that are references to the planet Venus as the morning star:

Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and did the morning star [G2193.1 Εωσφόρος, Heōsphóros, the morning star the planet Venus] then first see his appointed place; to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to cast out the ungodly out of it?” Sep Job 38:12-13  

And thy prayer shall be as the morning star [G2193.1 Εωσφόρος, Heōsphóros, the morning star the planet Venus], and life shall arise to thee as from the noonday.” Sep Job 11:17  

et quasi meridianus fulgor consurget tibi ad vesperam et cum te consumptum putaveris orieris ut Lucifer” LV Job 11:17 (see Latin)

How has Lucifer [G2193.1 Εωσφόρος, Heōsphóros, the morning star the planet Venus], that rose in the morning, fallen from heaven! He that sent orders to all the nations is crushed to the earth.” Sep Isa 14:12  

quomodo cecidisti de caelo lucifer qui mane oriebaris corruisti in terram qui vulnerabas gentes.” LV Isa 14:12 (see Latin)

In this verse there is a reference to the evening star as Venus:

And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion? Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth (Zodiac) in his season, and the evening star [Έσπερον (hésperos) the evening starVenus (shortened form of ἕσπερος ἀστήρ (hésperos astḗr))]with his rays? Wilt thou guide them? And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?” Sep Job 38:31-33

These verses do not reference a specific planet or star:

And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star [G5459 φωσφόρος, (phōsphoros) from phos and phero, light-bringing, the morning star, day star (this word can also be a reference to Venus)] arise in your hearts.”  ASV 2 Pet 1:19

And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star (lucifer) arise in your hearts.”  DR 2 Pet 1:19

et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem cui bene facitis adtendentes quasi lucernae lucenti in caliginoso loco donec dies inlucescat et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestris” LV 2 Pet 1:19 (see Latin)

As I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the morning [G4407, πρωϊνόν (prōinon) early morning, dawn] star [G792 ἀστέρα, (astera) a star].” Rev 2:28


I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning [G4407, πρωϊνόν (prōinon) early morning, dawn] star [G792 ἀστέρα, (astera) a star].”  Rev 22:16

This Wright’s Almanac published in 1880 shows the morning and evening stars for that year on the last page.

Planet Weekday Name Progression


Reflected below is my study of the weekday name transitioning to planet names.  I do believe that observing each planet’s orbit is not an issue.  The bible issue regarding Marduk and others was that they made graven images that they worshiped to represent these planets on earth which was against the laws of Moses (Exodus 20:4).

Below is further proof that the days of the week have not changed and that the 7th day called Saturday is the Sabbath day (see more info here).

Note:  The German’s called our Father in Heaven Odin and the Latin Vulgate calls our Father Adonai in verses Exodus 6:3 and Judith 16:16.  I’m sure they are one of the same.  Wednesday represents our Father in Heaven’s Feasts of Joy as I documented on this page.


Reflected below is Venus above the horizon on the spring equinox just like the Babylonians would see.  Some years though Venus is below the horizon and they would not have seen it.  I believe that they knew the timing of when Venus would appear on the Spring Equinox above the horizon.  For more information on Venus and it's cycle, please see this page.


Geocentric verses Heliocentric


The picture and table below is shown so that the differences between the two models can be identified.  The main difference is that the earth and sun trade places.

The table below reflects the Geocentric orbit days from Ptolemy’s diagram above.  The Heliocentric orbit days come from Wikipedia.




The Seven Pointed Star & our Weekday Names


Below is a 7 pointed star that reflects how the weekdays were named and ordered based on the planets in our solar system according to Ptolemy’s Geocentric order.  This is further proof that they used a Geocentric model in ancient times.



Notice that the blue outer circle order is in the earth centric order and not the sun centric order.

The days of the week order and the seven pointed star is well documented from many sources, here is a couple:

There are lots of Pagan versions, of the days of the week on the 7 pointed star, also on the internet, here is a couple:


Geocentric - is it Biblical?


The book of Enoch and the bible tend to reflect the earth’s relationships to the sun, plants and stars using the earth centric model.  There are many old diagrams showing that many Israelites in the past thought the center of the universe was earth and the sun and other stars rotated around the earth (see links below).  Below are a few verses that show the sun moves, therefore confirming their belief in an earth centric model:

And I saw the chambers of the sun and moon, whence they proceed and whither they come again, and their glorious return, and how one is superior to the other, and their stately orbit, and how they do not leave their orbit, and they add nothing to their orbit and they take nothing from it, and they keep faith with each other, in accordance with the oath by which they are bound together. And first the sun goes forth and traverses his path according to the commandment of the Lord of Spirits, and mighty is His name for ever and ever. And after that I saw the hidden and the visible path of the moon, and she accomplishes the course of her path in that place by day and by night-the one holding a position opposite to the other before the Lord of Spirits.” Enoch 41:5-7

The sun was risen upon the earth, when Lot entered into Segor.” Sep Gen 19:23 

And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.” Sep Jos 8:29 

Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and he seals up the stars.” Sep Job 9:7 

In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.” Sep Psa 19:5-6

And the sun and the moon stood still, until God executed vengeance on their enemies; and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; it did not proceed to set till the end of one day.” Sep Jos 10:13 

And this is the law and the course of the sun, and his return as often as he returns sixty times and rises, i.e. the great luminary which is named the sun, for ever and ever. And that which (thus) rises is the great luminary, and is so named according to its appearance, according as the Lord commanded. As he rises, so he sets and decreases not, and rests not, but runs day and night, and his light is sevenfold brighter than that of the moon; but as regards size they are both equal.” Enoch 72:36-37

Here are verses stating the earth does not move.  I could not find a verse that states the earth has a course or circuit like the sun does in the verses above.

Who establishes the earth on her sure foundation: it shall not be moved for ever.” Sep Psa 104:5 

Let the whole earth fear before him; let the earth be established, and not be moved.” Sep 1Ch 16:30 

Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.” Sep Psa 96:10 

Let the whole earth fear before him; let the earth be established, and not be moved.” Sep 1Ch 16:30 

For the day before the Sabbath, when the land was first inhabited, the praise of a Song by David. The Lord reigns; he has clothed himself with honour: the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength; for he has established the world, which shall not be moved.” Sep Psa 93:1 

Just another interesting fact is that the earth was created on day one; therefore it was made without the requirement of having a sun to orbit.  The sun and moon were not created until the fourth day.  We are also told on day one of creation that light was also created; therefore, there was light prior to the creation of the sun.

In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth. But the earth was unsightly and unfurnished, and darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of God moved over the water. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” Sep Gen 1:1-5 

The Revelation to John also shows the sun and moon will not be required when Jesus returns:

And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb. And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.” DR Rev 21:22-23

And night shall be no more: and they shall not need the light of the lamp, nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall enlighten them, and they shall reign for ever and ever.” DR Rev 22:5

Flavius Josephus, a first century historian, tells us that the lampstand’s (candlestick) branches represented the planets and the sun was included.  Therefore, this would represent an earth centric model like the seven pointed star.

Over against this table, near the southern wall, was set a candlestick of cast gold, hollow within, being of the weight of one hundred pounds, which the Hebrews call Chinchares; if it be turned into the Greek language, it denotes a talent.  It was made with its knops, and lilies, and pomegranates, and bowls (which ornaments amounted to seventy in all); by which means the shaft elevated itself on high from a single base, and spread itself into as many branches as there are planets, including the sun among them.  It terminated in seven heads, in one row, all standing parallel to one another; and these branches carried seven lamps, one by one, in imitation of the number of the planets. These lamps looked to the east and to the south, the candlestick being situate obliquely.” Antiquities.3.6.7:144-146


When any person entered into the temple, its floor received them. This part of the temple therefore was in height sixty cubits, and its length the same; whereas its breadth was but twenty cubits: but still that sixty cubits in length was divided again, and the first part of it cut off at forty cubits, and had in it three things that were very wonderful and famous among all mankind; the candlestick, the table [OF SHEW BREAD], and the altar of incense. Now, the seven lamps signified the seven planets; for so many there were springing out of the candlestick. Now, the twelve loaves that were upon the table signified the circle of the zodiac and the year.” War.5.5.5:215-217

Conclusion


The bible proves the solar system is earth centric.  I know that our ancestor did believe in an earth centric model and the way our weekdays are named is proof of this.  Many things were changed on our calendar since the time of Christ.  Below is a summary of the changes.  More information about Enoch’s calendar can be found here.
