Betelgeuse

Introduction

The Great Dimming of Betelgeuse happened during the Plandemic and has been followed by a steady increase in tempo since.  It seems almost symbolic of the state of the world.  The globalists showed their hand during COVID and have been consolidating power since.

We know the Time of the End and the Day of the Lord are not far way, and these may include Betelgeuse going supernova.

Interestingly, the original of the name Betelgeuse, which is the shoulder of the constellation representing the Coming King in the Mazzaroth, may be translated 'the arm of the Lord' or 'the coming of the Branch'.

Isa 63:5 - I looked, but there was no one to help,

And I wondered

That there was no one to uphold;

Therefore My own arm brought salvation for Me;

And My own fury, it sustained Me.

Jer 33:15 - ‘In those days and at that time
I will cause to grow up to David
A Branch of righteousness;
He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

Coming Supernova

Astronomers have been watching Betelgeuse closely, since it's Great Dimming in 2020.  A recent study by the University of Tokyo indicates that Betelgeuse could supernova within 10 years.

History of Measurements

American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) summarizes the history of measurements of Betelgeuse, also known as Alpha Orionis.  It's the second brightest star in the the constellation Orion, after Rigel.  It's interesting to note that a significant dip in brightness, similar to what was observed in 2019-2020, occurred approximately 72 years earlier around 1948, the year Israel became a nation.

Shrinking

The distance to Betelgeuse is difficult to determine from parallax (the change in apparent position in the sky) produced by the orbit of the Earth around the Sun, since it's brightness and shape vary on a cycle of approximately one year.  In 1920, Betelgeuse was the first star diameter measured by Albert A. Michelson with his interferometer.  Since that time, various attempts have been made to measure the distance to Betelgeuse, typically using parallax and various statistical methods to reduce error.

Nobel prize winning physicist Charles H. Townes (1915 – 2015) believed that Betelgeuse was shrinking, and at a rate secular astrophysicists were not willing to accept.  Charles Townes was a Christian and believed that God created the universe.  As a professor at UC Berkeley, Townes used the Infrared Spatial Interferometer (ISI) on Mt. Wilson to record the diameter of Betelgeuse from 1993 to 2008, showing that the diameter had shrunk more than 15% over 15 years.

If we assume, contrary to popular belief, that historical "distance" calculations were accurate and we order the calculated "distances" by year, we observe a relatively smooth increase.  If the diameter of Betelgeuse is in fact decreasing as Townes believed, then this apparent increase in "distance" may in fact correlate to a decrease in diameter.  Distance and apparent size are inversely proportional, so a column has been added showing "distance" values inverted (normalized to the first value) and proportional to diameter.  We can see that these numbers show a decrease roughly in agreement with the 15% decrease measured by Townes.Townes between 1993 and 2008.

Year Distance (Light years) Observation Inverse Normalized (1/x) * 163
1920 163 Albert A. Michelson 100%
1991 332
49%
1993 427, 495 (2007) Hipparcos, revised Hipparcos 33%
2008 642 Very Large Array 25%
2017 724  ALMA and e-Merlin 22%
2020 548 Coriolis satellite 30%

Could we be seeing the final collapse of Betelgeuse into supernova?
