The Narrow Gate Stars
.
.
.
.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:Â
Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14Â

THE NARROW WAY: THE PILGRIM’S PATHWAY
.
That world-shaking allegory, Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, picked up the theme of the Narrow Gate.
.
The hero of the story was Christian, a man who was warned to flee from the City of Destruction (the world), and to embark on a journey to the Heavenly City. And along the way, Christian encountered many adventures and dangers.
.
This first-of-its-kind allegorical book absolutely rocked the western world, and became perhaps the first million seller book (along with the Bible).
.
But God has also given this same Narrow Way parable in the night heavens! Incredible? Yes, incredible…and amazing too!Â

THE NARROWÂ WAYÂ OR THE BROAD WAY
.
Remember when Jesus urged us to enter into the Narrow Gate, in Matthew 7:13, 14?
.
Well, this site reveals an incredible constellation group, which tells the Gospel Love Story. And just before this story ends its yearly cycle, it presents a climactic finale, in which the Revelation 12 Woman swerves toward the Narrow Gate Stars.Â
.
For further reading on this subject, please read…
.
“Woman of Revelation 12 & The Narrow Way Stars”
.
“Castor and Pollux & The Mystery Ship of Scripture”
.
The above sketch is of the Revelation 12 Fleeing Woman.

ORION’S GATE (THE NARROW GATE)
.
There is another, remarkable aspect to the Orion Phenomena, which has to do with Orion the Reaper.
.
This is best seen when the winter Bible Constellations are in the west. if one stands, facing west, when Orion, the Dragon and the Glorious Horse are beginning to sink into the western horizon, that there are two bright stars in Orion’s sickle.
.
And there also are two bright stars in the Dragon’s wave of water coming out of his mouth. And the two bright stars in Orion’s sickle is about half the width apart as the two bright stars in the Dragon’s wave of water. What makes this so dramatic is that the Revelation 12 Woman looks as if she is slightly veering towards Orion’s two bright stars.
.
And so, it now appears that this scenario is a picture of that well-known passage that Jesus spoke, concerning the Narrow Gate & the Wide Gate…
“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:Â
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.”
Matthew 7:13, 14
.
Now when this constellation group is still in the east, it is not so evident that this Woman is heading for Orion’s sickle. But when they are in the west it now becomes very evident that she is veering toward the Narrow Gate. So this makes a wonderful finale to this Gospel Story written in the sky.

CASTOR & POLLUXÂ & THE MYSTERY SHIP OF THE BIBLE
.
“And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.” Acts 28:11Â
.
Now if this is not remarkable enough already, there is one more incredible phenomenon attached to this. The two bright stars in Orion’s sickle happen to be Castor & Pollux of Gemini fame.
.
Now what’s so remarkable about this you ask?
.
Well, in order to understand this, one needs only turn to the Book of Acts, Chapters 27, and 28. There it is told, the story of two ships. In Chapter 27, it speaks of the first ship that was supposed to take Paul to Rome to be tried before Caesar.
.
In essence, this was Paul’s Judgment Day. But the ship didn’t make it to Rome. It became destroyed on an island and had to be abandoned. So everyone on the ship had to make it to shore. Then after three months, they all got on a ship from Alexandria, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. From there they were all delivered safely to Rome, where Paul was eventually tried and executed.
.
From all the Biblical language in this story, and because all the stories in Scripture are metaphorical in nature, we must conclude that this story is a prophecy concerning the Church. Matthew Henry, that most notable and highly popular theologian likewise saw the first ship as representing the Church.
.
So, the question is, if the first ship represented the Church, then just what did the second ship represent? Well isn’t it interesting that the second ship had the sign of Castor and Pollux? And isn’t it interesting that those two stars, Castor and Pollux, represent the Narrow Gate in Orion’s reaper’s sickle? Â
