The Zodiac and the Gospel - Chapter 10 Gemini

⚝⚝ GEMINI (THE TWINS) ⚝⚝


Corresponds with the tribe of Benjamin
Hebrew - te-oh-MEEM - meaning to be complete; coupled, together; united; twinned


This constellation depicts two twins walking toward us holding hands; the figure on the left is holding a club while the figure on the right is holding a bow and arrow in one hand and a harp in the other.

When Paul left Malta, he was on an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of twin gods, Caster and Pollux on the front. Acts 28:11 tells us, It was three months after the shipwreck that we set sail on another sip that had wintered at the island -- an Alexandrian ship with the twin gods as its figurehead."

Caster and Pollux were linked with Hercules in Greek mythology. They are the two brightest stars in the constellation of Gemini. Caster means Apollo who was the ruler and judge. Pollux means Hercules which means strong one coming to labor or suffer. In these brief descriptions we get a strong sense not of the myths of Mythology, but of the true nature of the True King, Jesus.

Gemini is a revelation of the dual nature of Jesus, God and man; Savior and Suffering Servant, King and Priest; deity united with humanity. These twins remind us of the two-fold work of Jesus in His suffering, but also in His glory. It also reminds us of his two-fold coming in humility, but also in triumph.

In addition, we are able to see an answer to Jesus's prayer when he cried out, "Oh Father, glorify me together with yourself that they all may be one as you and I are one. You, Father, are in me, and I in you. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me," John 17:5, 21&22.

Once upon a time on April 2, 2022, the first track meet in Milton Freewater, OR wrapped up. I thanked my kid's coach for all her time and effort. I told her I really appreciated it.  Her response, on the other hand, is something that took me by surprise.  Not, "Thank you!"  Not, "No problem."  Not, "I'm so glad you guys could make it."  Nope. It was more like, "I'm so glad Rasean is on the team. He's a real inspiration to everyone, especially the other boys."  I thanked her and went on my way like we'd just exchanged pleasantries. But something about the way she said it made me believe she really meant it -- like really meant it. As volunteers rolled up flags and posted finals scores I walked away from her to the Honey Bucket. Why was I so in awe at her response??  Once in the Honey Bucket, it became a time capsule. Suddenly I was transported to the years and decades I'd safely tucked in the back of my mind.  There she wa

Equal Joy This is our eldest son, Isaiah . His name means " YAHWEH is salvation ". It's been his name since before we were married. It's just him. Our hope is it completely fulfills who he is as he continues his journey identifying with whose he is. He, and his brother, our truly our pride and joy as I'm sure any parent can relate. Basketball and golf are two words that can get Isaiah's attention at any given moment. He's mostly likely found either at the gym or on the course working hard to perfect his games. Yesterday was a big day for him. He golfed a 40 for the first time on the back nine. He was so excited. That was only the beginning. One of those shots was a chip in for birdie from 30 yards. My heart burst with excitement for him as I was able to see his hard work paying off right before my eyes. But it gets better! After carefully being measured by the clubhouse staff, he discovered someone had donated a set of irons to him that fit per
