Eye of a Needle

Could Eye of a Needle be a reference to Christ, the Narrow Way?

CAMEL: TYPE OF THE UNCLEAN BODY THAT IS REDEEMED?

Mr 10:25 It is <<easier for a camel to go through the EYE OF A NEEDLE>>, than for a <rich man to enter into the kingdom of God>.

De 14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as THE CAMEL, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; {} they {are} UNCLEAN unto you.

1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, CAMEL and ASS.

Zec 14:15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the CAMEL, and of the ASS, and of all the BEASTS that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

Mt 3:4 And the same John had his raiment of CAMEL’S hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

Mt 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and **swallow** a CAMEL.

Pr 1:11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

Pr 1:12 Let us **swallow** them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

EYE: CHRIST, THE LIGHT OF THE BODY?

Mr 10:25 It is <<easier for a camel to go through the EYE OF A NEEDLE>>, than for a <rich man to enter into the kingdom of God>.

Lu 11:34 The LIGHT of the body is the EYE : therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the LIGHT of the world.

Mt 6:23 But if thine EYE be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Mt 18:9 And if thine EYE offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Re 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every EYE shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Mt 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye SEE the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

Ps 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with MINE EYE.

NEEDLE: EMBROIDERER, CURIOUSLY WROUGHT, DIVERS COLOURS - CHRIST?

Mr 10:25 It is <<easier for a camel to go through the EYE OF A NEEDLE>>, than for a <rich man to enter into the kingdom of God>.

Ex 26:36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with NEEDLEWORK.

Jud 5:30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of *divers colours* (type of Christ) of NEEDLEWORK, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

Eze 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with *divers colours*, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

Ps 45:14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

Ge 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of *{many} colours*.

Ge 37:23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, {his} coat of *{many} colours* that {was} on him;

BROAD VS NARROW WAY: MEANS OF COMING TO CHRIST?

Mr 10:25 It is <<easier for a camel to go through the EYE OF A NEEDLE>>, than for a <rich man to enter into the kingdom of God>.

Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for <wide is the GATE, and broad is the WAY, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat>:

Mt 7:14 Because <<strait is the GATE, and NARROW is the WAY, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it>>.

Lu 16:17 And it is <easier for HEAVEN and EARTH to pass>, than <<one tittle of the LAW to fail>>.

Mt 19:26 But JESUS beheld them, and said unto them, <With men this is impossible>; but <<with God all things are possible>>.

Mr 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, <how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the KINGDOM OF GOD>!

SUMMARY CONCLUSION:

God appears to be associating Eye of a Needle with the narrow path that leads to Christ. A Camel (type of the Elect, first unclean), though impossible, is able to go through this narrow WAY because all things are possible with God. However, another spiritual picture is that it’s impossible for a rich man (Babylon) to enter into Heaven once God shuts the door on HER.
