2023 is the year of the rabbit, a time of fertility and birth. But a ‘birth’ of what? In 2022 we saw the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Benedict XVI, and the further deterioration of the might-as-well-be-dead President Joseph Biden, all three of the offices or horns from the book of Daniel. Once plucked, a fourth baby horn takes their place with the establishment of the Kingdom of the Antichrist for seven years. In Revelation 13:2, “The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne…” an eerie prediction of King Charles, whose Coat of Arms reads, “The red dragon gives the lead,” possibly turning over power to Prince William in the next seven years - from 2023 to 2030. Will this be the new world of dragon and beast or another false narrative? Numbers 1 through 22 represent creation, development, and perfection, leaving 23 to signify a resetting, i.e., the birth of a new world. The 23rd oracle of the I-Ching also implies a type of chaos followed by order. 23 plays an important role in human development too, with 23 chromosomes given to babies by each parent, and 23 seconds needed for blood to circulate throughout the body. Discordianism sees 23 as an enigma or ‘cosmic trigger’, associated the number with Eris, Greek goddess of strife and discord, alternatively known as Queen of the Night. The Greek Hecate, of the crossroads, is also Queen of the night and as a moon deity is associated with lunar creatures such as the rabbit. Rabbits are commonly considered unclean, but fast, and lucky. As symbols of sex and lust they can be associated with the demon Asmodeus, an elegant demon spoken of in part by Pope Francis recently.
