Abstract
Jesus' final discourse in the Synoptics is replete with words, phrases and statements typical of ancient Mediterranean astronomy/astrology. Further, forecasts concerning the Son of Man coming from the sky and the destruction of a Jerusalem, a temple city, clearly entail astronomical and astrological dimensions. These features point to traditions about Jesus as astral prophet and his concern with sky events, much like Israel's astral prophets and their focus on celestial territoriality.
