Okay, so in the last two devotionals, it was hopefully seen that Habakkuk’s prophecy is for the Church, God’s Elect, both Jews and Gentiles alike!
.
And since the Bible is a spiritual book, these prophecies must be “spiritually discerned”, “comparing spiritual things with spiritual”, “line upon line, here a little, and there a little”! (see 1st Corinthians 2:12-14 & Isaiah 28:9-12)
.
And so, Habakkuk speaks of spiritual ideas, spread upon a canvas of earthly types and shadows. Yes, God’s people are to flee from Satan’s armies! But we just can’t pack up and flee to the literal mountains!

“In the day when the towers fall!”
Isaiah 30:25
.
Well, as we look around, it is not hard to discern that the towers of man’s institutions are now falling, as Isaiah 30:25 foretells! And not just the Twin Towers in New York City!
.
Just look around! Public schools are beginning to promote sexual deviancy to young children! The television has become an advertisement for the qualities of Satan’s character! Courts are losing respect for the rule of law! Government is borrowing and printing money in an apparent financial suicide attempt!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Thus saith the LORD, …maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;”
Isaiah 44:24
.
Everything around the world is going topsy-turvy, and all this leaves us bewildered as to just what is happening!
.
And if all that is not a fulfillment of the “towers falling”, just look at the churches and denominations! They are crumbling faster than society! Sexual deviants, spiritualists, ear-tickling-new-age “Christian” gurus, money grubbing carpetbaggers are taking over, it seems!
.
Even the conservative churches are greatly concerned with earthly prosperity and hedonistic pleasure-seeking!
.
.
.
.
.
.
HOW AND WHERE ARE WE TO FLEE?
.
And so, just how are we to flee unto Heavenly Sion? How are we and our children to escape the Sodom and Gomorrah, which just now springing up all around us?
.
The Bible tells us, in somewhat veiled, allegorical language… “In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:20-22
.
So here it says that we must cast away our idols of silver and gold and go into the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to shake terribly the earth! And as we look around at all that’s going on, we might be able to conclude that God is now shaking the earth terribly!
.
But how are we to flee?
.
.
.
.
.
.
HIDE YOURSELF…FOR A LITTLE MOMENT
.
Listen… “Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:20, 21
.
So, this above passage reveals a little more about just how we are to escape all these things! We are to go into our chambers and hide as it were for a little moment. But what chambers? And how are we to hide?
.
Listen again… “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought His judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.” Zephaniah 2:3.
.
Okay, so this above verse reveals that it is by seeking after meekness and righteousness, that the Lord might hide us in the Great Day of His Wrath!

HIDE IN HIS HEAVENLY PAVILION
.
And so, it’s high time that we take Habakkuk seriously, and begin to run that Christian race before us!
.
And as Isaiah 2:20, 21 counsels, we need to cast away our idols of silver and gold, and flee to the Rock of Ages, and hide ourselves in the secret place of His pavilion! And as Paul says, we must mortify our earthly body, and become a spiritual being, sitting with Christ in the Heavenly Most Holy Place!
.
After all, God has chosen us to be a Royal Priesthood! So as priests of God, where else would we possibly want to be, but in the priestly courts above where Christ sits as He ministers His priestly duties?

LOCATING THIS GROUP…
These two sketches below are the same picture, one with stars only, the other with embellishments. These stars appear more or less like this when they are in the western sky, just before they sink below the western horizon (please excuse the less-than 100% accurate sketch). At the top of the sketches in the center is the Big Dipper. But with other surrounding stars, the Big Dipper is known as Ursa Major or the Great Bear. But as this website points out, Ursa Major is actually the Revelation 12 Woman. (Ursa Major appears much larger in the sky than this sketch shows. But in order to fit her into this drawing, the artist had to depict her much smaller)

IN THE WEST
.
.
This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter, and even into June at the beginning of night. It is seen best when it is the western part of the sky. Orion, the Dragon, and the Glorious Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon. And at this point it is apparent that the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the Narrow Gate Stars as you can see just to the left of the mountain. A dark night is best for seeing this. It begins with the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation going towards these two doors. The doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the Wide Gate Stars (to the right of the mountain) are the two brightest stars of the Wave of Water (AKA Auriga Constellation) that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the Narrow Gate are about one-third less the width of the Wide Gate. The two bright stars which symbolize the Wide Gate are Capella and Menkalinan. These are the brightest two stars of the Auriga Constellation. (For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”. )
.
Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. But they are close enough to find them in the night sky.
