And so they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves,
               which were left over by those who had eaten.


               Two fish to feed a multitude. Is it coincidence that the God who made the heavens, who calls the stars
               by name, who formed the constellations, has set before us an image of two fish?



















               On two occasions, once at the beginning of His ministry, and once at the end, Yahshua performed a
               miracle by filling the nets of His disciples with fish. The occupation of these men foretold of their
               spiritual calling as fishers of men. Yahshua would draw to His disciples those men and women chosen
               for salvation. On another occasion Yahshua instructed Peter to cast a hook into the water and the first
               fish he caught would have a coin in its mouth to pay the poll tax. The fish has become a symbol
               firmly associated with Christianity. How fitting that the Age of Pisces should commence as the Lamb
               of God was offering up His life on the cross at calvary. As the disciples went forth on the Day of
               Pentecost to fulfill the great commission, to make disciples of all nations, they began fulfilling the
               type of being fishers of men. At this moment the Age of Pisces began.

               We are now 2,000 years into the Age of Pisces. This age is coming to an end, and the Age of
               Aquarius, the Water Pourer, is about to begin.























               The Age of Aquarius will begin with the inauguration of the millennial reign of Christ upon the earth.
               Regarding this age, we are informed of the following by the prophets Isaiah and Habakkuk.
