The Narrow Gate Stars
.
.
.
.
.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate…
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 (Condensed)Â

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.
.
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
