Narrow Gate Stars,

Part 2

“And falling into a place where two seas met,

they ran the ship aground;

and the forepart stuck fast,

and remained unmoveable,

but the hinder part was broken

with the violence of the waves…

And so it came to pass,

that they (Paul and the other passengers)

escaped all safe to land…

.

“…And after three months

we departed in a ship of Alexandria…

whose sign was Castor and Pollux.”

Acts, 27:41, 44 & 28:11

FIRST SHIP REPRESENTS CHURCHES

.

The above abbreviated verses from Acts, 27 & 28, tells of the Apostle, Paul’s journey to Rome to be tried by Caesar. 

.

These two chapters describe the breaking up of the first ship in a terrible storm, followed by the boarding and safe journey of the second ship to Rome.

.

Now, for those who understand the spiritual, allegorical nature of the Bible, these two chapters present a spiritual foretelling and overview of the entire Church-age.

.

Yes, these two chapters from Acts, 27 & 28, paint a spiritual portrait in which God’s people have been sailing toward our own Judgment Day, using Paul and the other 216 passengers as a symbolic portrait of God’s people.

(read the article, “Castor and Pollux and the Mystery Ship of Scripture”, to get a fuller understanding of this Bible allegory…click here to read).

Acts, 27:41, 44 & 28:11

.

It seems as if God is trying to get a message to us right now, in a day when a great portion of the churches and congregations have become apostate.

.

It seems as if God is now giving us the message that the first ship must be abandoned, and the second ship is what we must now sail into the Judgment Day (which day is even just now appearing upon the horizon).

.

.

.

.

.

“But…there arose…a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon…the next day……they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea…and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land…And…they escaped all safe to land.” Acts 27:14, 28:38, 44 (abbreviated for brevity)

Yes, it seems as if God is now giving us the message that the first ship (the established churches and denominations) must be abandoned, and the second ship is what we must now sail into the Judgment Day which is now just over the horizon.

.

In other words, in a day in which we are so immersed in materialism and vain and worldly aspirations, that this heavenly sign is beckoning God’s people to cast our earthly idols to…well…let’s just let Scripture speak for itself… “In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” Isaiah 2:20, 21.

.

Notice this verse is connected with Judgment Day, a day in which God “arises to shake terribly the earth!”

GREAT PARADIGM SHIFTS

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2004-tsunami.jpg

.

This world is now rapidly changing; natural and man-made catastrophes have been ever-increasing.

.

World-wide paradigm shifts are happening so fast, swifter than we ever deemed possible; shifts of a nature which no one would have believed possible just a few short years ago. Once trusted secular institutions, are now promoting deviant behavior. 

.

Many, many churches are now so apostate that Christians are hard pressed to find a congregation which still clings to the Bible as the standard for study & conduct.

“HIDE…TILL…INDIGNATION BE OVERPAST”

Isaiah 26:20

http://www.muskegonartmuseum.org/collections-gallery/gallery

.

“Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:20, 21 

.

But the greatest reason for this Narrow Gate Phenomenon is to tell God’s people, that this Narrow Gate is only wide enough to allow the character and image of Christ to enter.

THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE

.

And the churches of today are allowing such a low-grade of piety to be substituted for the holiness of Christ, that God’s people must make a choice: come out of the Babylon of confusion found in today’s churches, and enter into the Narrow Gate, or, as Scripture plainly warns… “And I heard another Voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4.

.

God’s people must now enter into what Scripture calls “The time of Jacob’s trouble”.

.

Listen… “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7.

GOD’S PEOPLE WILL SHINE AS THE SUN

.

Orion Logo Signs Of Heaven

The Lord has no intention of “Rapturing” a world-loving Church out of this fallen, selfish world we so dearly love!

.

We must overcome the world. The main message in Revelation, to the 7 churches, is that of overcoming. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” Revelation 2:11.

.

Yes, Salvation is by grace alone. But those who are truly Born Again will go on in their Christian warfare to victory. Those who are mere pretenders will remain in their sins. The Day of the Lord will make clear as noonday, just who it is “that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.” Malachi 3:18.

.

“TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH!”

.

And so the Signs Of Heaven are now appearing. It is just now time for each true worshiper of God to “cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” Isaiah 2:20, 21.

.

The “clefts of the ragged rocks” in which we are to hide ourselves, are found between the pages of the Bible. 

.

Orion is a truly remarkable heavenly metaphor. And only the fundamental concepts of this sign of the “Son of man” have been touched on.

.

.

.

DOOR IS STILL OPEN!

.

Yes, here is the Good News of Salvation! This is the door of escape which now stands wide open for any man, woman, or child who is tired of living in the midst of this angry and hateful world, which seems to be growing angrier and more hateful with each and every passing day! 

.

But the Gospel ship doors will soon close forevermore!

.

Thus, there should be no delay to get on-board this Heaven-bound vessel!

.

The place of embarkment is within your very own soul!

.

Yes, this Gospel ship is coming by to get you!

.

But please do not refuse! Just come aboard.

.

Our ticket required is the Gospel of Salvation!

.

Our passport is a mustard-seed of faith!

.

.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

CASTOR AND POLLUX = THE NARROW WAY

.

“And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.” Acts 28:11

LOCATING THIS GROUP…

.

These two sketches below are the same picture, one with stars only, the other with embellishments. These stars appear more or less like this when they are in the western sky, just before they sink below the western horizon (please excuse the less-than 100% accurate sketch). At the top of the sketches in the center is the Big Dipper. But with other surrounding stars, the Big Dipper is known as Ursa Major or the Great Bear. But as this website points out, Ursa Major is actually the Revelation 12 Woman. (Ursa Major appears much larger in the sky than this sketch shows. But in order to fit her into this drawing, the artist had to depict her much smaller)

IN THE WEST 

Revelation 12 Woman chooses Narrow Way

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter, and even into June at the beginning of night. It is seen best when it is the western part of the sky. Orion, the Dragon, and the Glorious Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon. And at this point it is apparent that the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the Narrow Gate Stars as you can see just to the left of the mountain. A dark night is best for seeing this. It begins with the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation going towards these two doors. The doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the Wide Gate Stars (to the right of the mountain) are the two brightest stars of the Wave of Water (AKA Auriga Constellation) that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the Narrow Gate are about one-third less the width of the Wide Gate. The two bright stars which symbolize the Wide Gate are Capella and Menkalinan. These are the brightest two stars of the Auriga Constellation(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”. )

.

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. But they are close enough to find them in the night sky.
