The Rapture in the Stars!

 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Genesis 1:14

God put all the stars and heavenly bodies in the sky for our use, the Scripture says. Of course, Satan perverted it with astrology and gods. Why? So we wouldn't study it, thinking we were disobeying God. The truth is, God put the entire Gospel in the Stars we see every night. 

There are 12 Constellations, each with 3 decans (smaller constellations within them). If you're interested in seeing how they display the Gospel story, this is a great article. And I highly recommend the book Witness in the Stars by E.W. Bullinger. I'm only going to focus on two of the constellations here in this post. Why?  

Because we are about to enter these constellations! The first one is: 

Pisces - The Redeemed Blessed Though Bound, Deliverance Out of Bondage. deliverance out of bondage, Messiah the Liberator.

Pisces contains that point in the sky occupied by the Sun during Vernal Equinox, the day on which the hours of daylight and night are equal, which falls about March 21. So Pisces claims the number one position of importance among the twelve constellations.

Pisces represents the fishes, the blessings of salvation delayed.

The three decans of Pisces: (Decans are smaller constellations within the major one)

• The Band represents a cord, the Redeemed bound.
• Andromeda represents the chained woman, the redeemed in bondage and affliction
• Cepheus represents the crowned King, the deliverer coming to rule.

The Two Fish in Pisces represent believers. 

And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I shall make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19

And He said to them, “Throw the net on the right side of the boat, and you shall find.” So they threw, and they were no longer able to draw it in because of the large number of fish. John 21:6

Hebrew name: Dagim, the fishes

The fish are depic­ted as joined by a band at the tail; one fish is facing the North Star, and the other swims against the path of the sun.

When we entered Pisces (February 19), we are now at the seventh constellation of this series and halfway done. What is the meaning of the two fish? Some believe it is the Gentiles and the Jews. The Gentile fish is the one facing up toward God. The Jew is the one whose focus is still on the world. Or, alternatively, it could represent the believers who love the Lord with all their heart and the believers who love the world. 

The Band. Pisces is fastened together by a band and is considered a separate constellation. This band is fastened to the neck of Cetus, the sea monster, depicting that our enemy attempts to keep us bound while on Earth. We are indeed bound by our flesh and sin, oppressed by our enemy until the Lord rescues us! 

Andromeda

Andromeda is a woman with chains fastened to her feet and arms, in misery and trouble, bound and helpless. Can you relate? This, I believe depicts the Bride of Christ in need of rescue. And just in time, here comes The Crowned King!

Cepheus, a human figure holding a branch - The Crowned King

Here is the Glorious King, crowned and enthroned in the highest heavens with a scepter in his hand and his foot planted on the Polar. His Greek name Cepheus means the branch and is called by Euripides, the king.

Without a doubt, this is Jesus who comes to the rescue! 

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre  Esther 5:2

We will be in Pisces from February 19th - March 20th. Within these dates is the Feast of Purim, celebrated on the Jewish Month of Adar, the 13th day. (March 13-14) Could this be the month of our deliverance? Let's see what happens next in the story. 

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them Esther 9:1

The next constellation after Pisces is Aries which will happen from March 21st-April 19. 

Aries - The Crowned Lamb and His Bride. Aries represents glory out of humiliation, Messiah the Crowned Lamb. Aries represents the Lamb, deliverance realized!

The three decans of Aries:

• Cassiopeia represents the enthroned woman, freed and preparing for her marriage to her Deliverer.
• Cetus represents the sea monster, the great enemy subdued and bound.
• Perseus represents the breaker, the mighty Deliverer.

saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and respect and esteem and blessing! Revelation 5:12

First Decan – Cassiopeia – the enthroned woman, the beautiful

The true church, the woman glorified, holding a branch in one hand and adorning herself with the other. Preparing herself for a coming public ceremony. Delivered from evil.

The ruling sceptre is being offered to Cassiopeia from the king on her right. Her beauty was lauded by the Greeks. She is indeed the spotless bride of the Lamb.

Second Decan – Cetus – Leviathan (sea monster), bound serpent

This is the dragon, the serpent, the devil, Satan. Our great enemy bound.

Third Decan – Perseus – the armed man. Perseus (Greek) “the breaker”

He holds the head of the serpent. He holds a sword in his right hand.

He who upholds the fishes and subdues the enemy.

So, you can clearly see that as we enter Aries, the bride has been freed and is preparing for a wedding and given a scepter to rule. We also see that Jesus has defeated the serpent. So, it would seem that the "deliverance" should occur in Pisces. 

Am I saying the rapture will occur before or on March 20? NO.  But I think there's a pretty darn good chance. I've always believed that the Scripture clearly portrays a Spring rapture. Not to mention I also believe the Bride is part of the Barley harvest of which the first fruits normally appear before Nisan 1 (The Jewish new year). Nisan 1 falls anywhere from March 19-March 30th of this year. 

Yes, we know these constellations pass overhead every year, so why do I think this could be the year? Have you been watching the news? Have you been reading my Friday posts? ALL the signs foretold in Scripture about the end are here... and honestly past here. I'm actually surprised we haven't left yet. I still believe 2025 will be the start of the Tribulation.  The Essenes also believed that. So do the Satanists in charge of this world because we see it in their writings. And God's Word is also corroborating IF we are correct in our interpretations about the 6000 years of mankind.  

I'm truly AMAZED at the signs and proofs.  And now we have these amazing constellations passing overhead right as we switch from winter to spring, enter a new Hebrew year, and come upon the Barley harvest!

I know times are tough. Stay close to Jesus. Hang out with Him. You'll feel His peace and love permeate you and steal away all your frustration and fear. 

Soon, we will all be home!
