I have been a christian for a fair amount of time and have never stopped learning, of course I like investigating and debating to a degree that would make most people’s brain’s bleed. I am not sure how much of that is the result of my personality developing that way because of my family heritage and how much of it is a direct result of God breaking into my world and demanding I get some work done for Him but the reality is that I am a very distinct breed of person. LOL.
As such I have never been one to splash about in the shallow end of the intellectual, spiritual pool. Once again I can ask the question about what has led me to be this way and I have to say with passing time that God is starting to win out in terms of defining the core of what makes me the “deep” adventurer I am already and am continuing to become with greater intensity.
On this point I want to say that I have always been drawn deeper in the content and structure of the Christian faith. My desire to go deeper has nothing to do with being super – spiritual. This is a discovery issue. I have felt for years that what I was engaged in as far as church goes was “ok” but hardly sufficient. It was like the Spirit was daring me to go deeper. As you can imagine, someone like me enjoys a challenge and so I took on the call.
If you have read my blogs you will know two things, 1. I don’t feel “institutional structure” is healthy for the body of Christ, 2. If we want to know the Bible, the apostles and all they stood for in terms of teaching us about Jesus and the full picture of salvation, we need to know our Hebrew roots.
I am more dogmatic about number 2 than 1.
In the course of discovering the vital historical considerations and elements of our faith I have recently (past 2 years) discovered that the message of the “Full Gospsel” has been written in the stars. When I say full gospel I am not referring to a church but to the completed work of Jesus which results in His body, His bride being glorified and permanently in His presence. We are not there yet and so the Gospel is not complete.
Stay tuned though!
With this in mind I want to bring your attention to the fact that whether or not you realize it, God has written the message of this full gospel in the stars. It is so detailed that if you studied it you would never need a bible!
Consider the constellation Andromeda which is a Decan or supporting constellation in the Major constellation of Pices. Andromeda is a picture of a woman in chains. This woman represents the Church which has been and still is suffering persecution. She is restrained in many respects in this day and age and is waiting for the liberation which is coming from her husband, Cepheus, another supporting constellation in Pices which tells us about Jesus as King, since Cepheus is a King with a scepter.
Track with me now, if you have no clue of what is going on in the sky then much of this will seem strange but I dare you, prove me wrong!
Cassiopeia is another representation of the Church in this constellation and represents a different dimension of the church in Chains, once the Church is set free from the chains of this life, in other words, the literal rapture, she is seen as the Queen enthroned with Cepheus, which once again is Jesus.
An interesting point concerning Andromeda is the fact that astronomy experts have confirmed that Andromeda is racing towards the Milky Way, both Andromeda and the Milky Way are galaxies and once they collide, supposedly in 4 billion years, the two will become one galaxy, this event is said to dramatically change the surrounding planets and stars.
What I find interesting in the first place is that the Milky Way’s location cuts between the 12 major constellations which happens to be the halfway mark between Jesus first and second coming!
Andromeda is found in the second portion of the story, that means that it falls somewhere between the establishment of the church and the return of Christ. We just so happen to be in that very period of world history right now. Furthermore I cannot help but wonder if God is making a point here. The Milky Way can be viewed as a picture of Heaven, with it’s bright appearance and reaction with the sun.
When I couple that fact with the fast approaching Andromeda, as the church I get the feeling that God is hinting at the rapture and subsequent marriage supper of the Lamb. Remember in the constellation Pices, which deals specifically with the Church, we have a woman in chains (Andromeda) and a woman set free (Cassiopeia), to be with her King (Cepheus).
I don’t believe the timing according to astronomers should be seen as a intentional and specific date. Firstly because we know it will not be 4 billion years till Jesus returns, but more specifically as I read about this disastrous event, the astronomers although being quite clear on the dangerous implications of this happening, are surprisingly at peace, actually to some extent joking about what is coming.
Now my mind goes to the words of Jesus when he spoke of His return. He said when the people say “peace and safety” then the end will come like “a woman in travail before childbirth”. Fair enough I am speculating here but if I couple the clear suggestion to people ignoring an imminent sign with the specific reference to a woman in travail, a possible reference to Revelation 12 with the woman who gives birth in the sky….
…which by the way happened to an eerie degree of accuracy last year on Yom Teruah, which is the feast of trumpets, and to my mind the time of year when Jesus will return both as a Bridegroom to His waiting Bride and King, then I think we are onto something!
For interest sake, Feast of Trumpets is also known as the Day of inauguration for the king as well as the wedding day!
Use it, don’t use it, I don’t know.
I hope this is at least making you sit up and pay attention, maybe you want to find out more because this intrigues you, maybe you want to write me off as a looney toon, I don’t know. I will take either option if it will get you to realize that God has been trying to communicate a very simply but dynamic message since creation.
In the end my goal and purpose is simple, I want to make people aware of the greatest event in world history, Jesus is coming and it is not going to have to be a surprise to His Bride.
Go read the parable of the virgins if you don’t believe me.
