So, I just realized that I've never even started a thread before. Now seems a great time to do it!
The main topic of this post is Revelation 12:1-5, our understanding of it, and to share with everyone what I feel The Holy Spirit shared with me late last night. Or maybe not, maybe early this morning, very very early! Just depends upon which way you look at it.
For the most part, everyone here is on the same page concerning The Revelation 12 Sign, the great wonder that is in Heaven right now as I type this. The woman is there in the sky, is "pregnant" with Jupiter, and her due date is September 23. As all pregnant moms know though, the baby doesn't always come right on the due date. Could be that she will go into labor earlier. Could be that she will go into labor later. We know the timeframe though, and when to expect our baby.
Today is September 3. And so right about now, any mom with a due date of September 23, most likely she has already got her bag packed and ready to go to the hospital at a moment's notice. She could go into labor at any time, any minute now... don't know exactly when. And at first, at least with all of my children it was this way, I was waiting with so much excitement, hyper-sensitive to each and every change in my body indicating that I was getting ready to go into labor. And the last couple of weeks... just... with each uncomfortable movement, with each twinge of pain, with each braxton hicks contraction... I'd sit expectantly waiting, thinking to myself... "Is this it? Was that just a contraction?!?!?"
My emotions were all over the place. I was happy sometimes, sad sometimes, excited, scared to death sometimes! So many contradictory emotions. Because, I wanted to see my baby so bad! But also, labor is a scary thing, dangerous even, can be life threatening for mom and baby both. Not to mention, the PAIN. I definitely NEVER looked forward to that part of it. For all the guys out there... words can't describe... IT HURTS! And so, many, many feelings, all mixed up together which causes so much anxiety and confusion.
But the most important thing, and what prevailed over all other feelings: I just couldn't wait to go into labor because once I was sure I was in labor; well, that meant that very very soon I would be holding my precious little one in my arms for the very first time, looking upon his or her face for the very first time, and the eyes... I'm seriously tearing up right now because I remember that moment, the first time we made eye contact, remember it like it happened yesterday with each and every one of my four children.
After the baby is born, and your anxiety and panic put to rest when you hear that loud and healthy sounding cry; you are looking over as the nurses fuss over your precious one, making sure that he/she is ok, is breathing properly, evaluating your new little one to make sure all is well; clean the mess off of them a bit and wipe them up, put the gel in the eyes to prevent any sort of infection, your precious one is measured and weighed, and then finally... after what seems like a lifetime... FINALLY... your baby is placed in your arms. Eyes filled with tears (or probably it's the gel... but whatever
); look up at you. And your eyes, also brimming with tears, look down upon your precious and perfect little one! No matter what, PERFECT, at least to mom and dad he or she is sheer perfection! May be dirty, may be screaming, may not even be a perfect baby. (My 3rd was born with a birth defect, cleft lip and palate. Want to know how much I noticed? Not at all.) He was beautiful, he was perfect, and I wouldn't have wanted him any other way than the way he was, the way that God made him. Absolute flawlessness. And that moment... timeless.
As usual, this isn't going like I planned. And I don't care. Haven't even used all the notes from the shout box yet and haven't even gotten to the point yet. It's all relevant though. All of it. Because this is Jesus we are talking about here. Yeshua. And His Father Yahweh. He IS the meaning of everything. He IS the reason for everything. He is The Door. He is The Road, The Way. Other roads and ways can be chosen, but there is nothing at the end of them except Death. The Second Death and the Final Death. For those who take the Road that is Jesus though, the Narrow Way that is Yeshua: for them will be Eternal Life. And Life Eternal is only the beginning! Also there will be The Answer to every question that has ever existed or been asked, the Reason we are here on earth, the Meaning of life, the Point of everything, the Creator of everything, and the Reason for everything.
Yesterday, we were driving home from a wonderful vacation spent at the beach. My husband and I were talking about government, how it is corrupt. Really, we were disagreeing about it. Because I said that government is completely corrupt, was speaking of how I think it possible that this latest hurricane Harvey that hit Texas, that it is possible all of it was purposely done by the government, those in this world who are in power, the Illuminati, the Elite, the big, notorious, and mysterious "THEY" that conspiracy theorists love to talk about, and to speculate upon the actions of. As always, Eric immediately dismissed my thoughts. He said there is no reason the government, the elite, the big "they"... no reason whatsoever for them to want to destroy the United States, or anything in the United States. We went on about it for awhile, Eric saying that people with money, they don't want anything but more money, and so they would never do such a thing because that would cost money, that there is no feasible reason. I told him there is, that their very motto is "order out of chaos". He laughed at me and told me no. He then went on, saying if the big "they" were to destroy the world... they would be destroying themselves too, that in the end they wouldn't have anything, and so why would they do it, what is the point, and what is the point of everything; and that I have really gone off the deep end lately and am just as bad as all those idiot conspiracy theorists and that everything does not equal destruction, everything does not equal death. I said, "You are right. And the point, is Jesus. He is coming back. We choose Him or we don't. We follow Him or we follow 'them'." And my husband, who is so sure he knows everything, said to me... "No. Jesus is not coming back, not right now." He then said that probably, by the time Jesus would ever come back... just that He won't ever even get the chance to because human beings will destroy themselves first and will cease to exist. I said, "Whence the Point. Him. Jesus. And He Is coming back and soon because otherwise things will turn out exactly like my all knowing husband says they will. And that God will not allow that." In response, I got the "Humph! You are wrong. You don't know what you are talking about" and then a change of subject. The reason why... because I don't think my husband is ready yet. He either just doesn't believe it or for whatever reason doesn't want it to be true. I have no idea why. Because just like he says... WHAT... is the point? Of anything? If Jesus is not coming back, what is the point of everything? Just... how depressing life must be for those who don't know Him. No matter how much money, power, fame, riches... what is the point?
Anyways, back to the birth.
Revelation 12:1-2 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered."
The woman is up there right now. Maybe labor has already started. On September 23 she will be crying, travailing in birth, paining to be delivered. The male child is not born yet, but he will be, and very soon!
Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."
With this verse, I think that first what is happening, John is seeing another wonder in heaven. That wonder isn't the dragon. It is Jesus (my opinion). Jesus is going to appear first, before the dragon does.
A baby can't be properly born without a head. And Jesus is our Head. He is the "Head" of the Church and we all know the Church is the Body. Jesus of course is going to be right there waiting for us. And then right there, as soon as we are born, we will be united with Him. Head and Body. We will be changed right then, immediately, in the twinkling of an eye.
The reason I think this (and this is all thanks to kjs and what he posted in this thread unsealed.boards.net/thread/686/hear-watchmen-scottie-clarke?page=4:
In Revelation 12:1-5, the word "heaven" is used 3 times. In verses 1 and 3 the Greek used for "heaven" both times is "ourano" (this is very important). Also, both times the word used before heaven is "in" (this is also very important). The meaning of ourano is by/in heaven. As in "a part of" or "from" or "Home is" heaven. Also, we are told in the Bible that we are to be "in" the world but not "of" the world.
biblereasons.com/not-of-this-world/
www.openbible.info/topics/being_like_the_world
The same way that we who belong to Jesus are "in the world" but not "of the world"; Satan (the dragon) and his fallen angels (1/3 of the stars) are currently "in heaven" but they are not "of heaven".
Now, my opinion is they are separated and in the 2nd heaven which is below the 3rd Heaven and the 3rd Heaven is where God is, where Jesus is, where the angel's who follow God are. Also, I think it possible that the 2nd heaven is what we see when we look up in the sky/outer space. Another name for the 2nd heaven *I think* is the "sea" or the "veil". The 2nd heaven divides the 3rd Heaven from the earth and it also separates the earth (that which is physical) from the 2nd heaven (that which is spiritual).
We don't see the 3rd Heaven and this is why. Assuming that Satan and all of the fallen angels are confined to the 2nd heaven and can not leave it unless for whatever reason God were to allow it... just that since they are below all of the angels that follow Jesus that are in the 3rd Heaven... the significance of the dragon sweeping his tail and bringing 1/3 of the stars down... ugh my brain HURTS... these stars are the 1/3 of stars like Enoch Walked was talking about in the shout box that are "under" the horizon and this is why only these stars and only the fallen angels get cast down to the earth and not the angels who follow God and live with Him in the 3rd Heaven (which we can not see).
In verse 4, the Greek word used for "heaven" is "ouranou" (this is important). It is a different word than used in the first two instances and it describes the 1/3 of the stars that are cast down to earth by the tail of the dragon. Ouranou means of the air, of heaven. Also, in verse 4, His Word reads "of" heaven (this is also important), whereas in the first two instances in verses 1 and 3 both say "in" heaven.
In conclusion, what *I think* The Holy Spirit is revealing to us... is that in verse 3 the wonder being spoken of is not the dragon. It is Jesus, Him, our Head. He appears first before the dragon does so that He can catch us and then catch us up once we are born.
Jesus is humble, not prideful, not flashy. In the Bible He is described as a very average looking person. In other words ladies... not like the shirtless Abercrombie supermodels we see standing outside of Abercrombie & Fitch when we visit New York City and go shopping. Nothing spectacular to look at. (Though for me, it will be just as when my son Liam was born... cleft lip and all... sheer perfection!) And, just saying, I am going to be one of those newborn babies who comes out WAILING. Crying, snot nosed, and tears everywhere! Not because I'm unhappy or upset. But because I just can't even fathom... And again my eyes are full of tears right now just thinking about it... About being cradled in His Arms and me like a brand new baby looking up into His Beautiful and Perfect eyes with such wonder! And just like a brand new baby implicitly and innately trusts his/her parents... This is how I trust Him and how I will continue to trust Him. Because not going to lie... I'm scared! Not that anything bad will happen or that He would ever do anything to hurt me.
But just as a newborn baby is born into a completely foreign and new world that he/she has no knowledge of... That is how I feel. It is unknown and because of that I am frightened.
Like a mom does though, He will be there, look down upon me, and He will actually cry with joy over me! Sinful, corrupt, disgusting, imperfect, and dirty ME.
Of course, it won't just be me. It will be all of us who know Him as Lord and Savior. And... I guess... I don't wanna... but since I have to... I will share.
There is more. Details. But I am spent. And so for right now... Good-bye! And I hope everyone "gets it", what I feel like He revealed to me last night and why I was so excited and got ZERO sleep. (I did, just not till 5am. lol)
Oh, yeah. I forgot. The dragon/satan. He is going to show up, try to push Jesus aside and snatch us away. He is no "wonder". He is an abomination.
Might be scary. I don't know and I hope not. What I do know, how it ends. We are going UP, UP, UP!
Satan will be there though. Behold! Out of nowhere... he will appear. Satan in all his glory, flashiness, physical beauty, absolutely gorgeous (on the outside anyway), an incredible sight to behold, I'm sure. On the inside, pure ugliness and evil. The world though, they will eat him up. Look at him with awe and wonder. Follow him like he is god. Do anything for him because he will just be... so beautiful, seemingly perfect!
For those who want him, who actively work on his side and so are working so that they can help usher him in... They CAN HAVE him. As for me, I hope I never ever even have to lay eyes on him, don't even want a quick glance. And I'm going Home to be with My Father who loves me, who died for me, who shed His Blood for me so that I could be washed white as snow. So I can be fit to stand before His Father, Yahweh God. The One True God. And Jesus is the ONLY Way.
Remember that world. To any who don't know Him: Please... give your heart to Jesus right now. There is still time! Not much, but a little. Give your life, your everything... to Jesus. Just like me and how I am not good enough, you are not good enough either. He doesn't care though. Because He already chose us. He has... over and over again. There is still time to read about it too, just open your Bible.
In the meantime, pray and MEAN IT with your entire heart, body, mind, spirit, soul, everything about you! Doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't matter what evil things you have done. Doesn't matter what you look like. Doesn't matter what awful, disgusting, evil, or sin you have committed. Believe in Him. Trust in Him as a baby who trusts his/her mother. Have faith in Him. Tell Jesus to kill your flesh, to kill your pride, to kill your sin, to wash you white as snow. And then, whatever time is left, pursue Him (read your Bible, pray... and this means just talk to Him same as you would another person in the room with you... out loud... silent... doesn't matter). Tell Him Everything... your needs, your wants, your fears, all of your thoughts good and bad. Ask Him to help you with the bad ones. And realize that there is NOTHING about YOU that is special, that makes you worthy of Him. You could feed each and every starving person on the planet and then build them a nice house to boot. It still isn't enough to make you worthy. You are STILL corrupt, STILL with sin. The GOOD NEWS is... It is NOT about YOU. It is ALL ABOUT HIM. Give all of your flesh, all of your corrupt, all of your sin to Him. Ask Him to live in your heart, to fill you with His Holy Spirit, and to help you learn how to be more like Him. You never will manage it while still in this world.
I'll tell you what though, anyone who doesn't know Him yet, but wants to... give your everything to Him just like I said above... and the wait is not going to be long at all.
Or, if He has already come, and your heart was not ready... you hadn't given your everything to Him, and trusted in His Worthiness instead of your own... You can still turn to Him. You are going to have to go through Tribulation and it is not going to be easy. But God, Jesus... both His Head and His Body... we will be fighting for you! And so, you can still give your life to Jesus as long as you haven't taken upon yourself the irreversible mark of Satan. Don't take Satan's mark. He may seem beautiful but he is anything but. He is PURE EVIL. Stay as far away as possible and do not take his mark or worship him... even if it means your physical life. Choosing physical life over Jesus who is Eternal Life... it equals DEATH. We are way more than this meat suit we occupy. Choose Jesus and He WILL SEAL YOU. You will live with Him forever.
Or choose Satan and he will mark you. Mark you for DEATH eternal.
It's up to us and the choice is ours, only "you" can make it. Your mom or dad can't make it for you. No one can but you. Jesus has already chosen and He has chosen "you". It's so easy. Because even though you are deserving of death due to your sin and corruption (we all are, me too)... you don't have to die. Because He has chosen to send Jesus so that you might live. And when Jesus died for all of us, that was Him CHOOSING "you". All one has to do... choose Him Back!

Nothing spectacular to look at. (Though for me, it will be just as when my son Liam was born... cleft lip and all... sheer perfection!) And, just saying, I am going to be one of those newborn babies who comes out WAILING. Crying, snot nosed, and tears everywhere! Not because I'm unhappy or upset.

There is still time to read about it too, just open your Bible.
In the meantime, pray and MEAN IT with your entire heart, body, mind, spirit, soul, everything about you! Doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't matter what evil things you have done. Doesn't matter what you look like. Doesn't matter what awful, disgusting, evil, or sin you have committed. Believe in Him. Trust in Him as a baby who trusts his/her mother. Have faith in Him. Tell Jesus to kill your flesh, to kill your pride, to kill your sin, to wash you white as snow. And then, whatever time is left, pursue Him (read your Bible, pray... and this means just talk to Him same as you would another person in the room with you... out loud... silent... doesn't matter). Tell Him Everything... your needs, your wants, your fears, all of your thoughts good and bad. Ask Him to help you with the bad ones. And realize that there is NOTHING about YOU that is special, that makes you worthy of Him. You could feed each and every starving person on the planet and then build them a nice house to boot. It still isn't enough to make you worthy. You are STILL corrupt, STILL with sin. The GOOD NEWS is... It is NOT about YOU. It is ALL ABOUT HIM. Give all of your flesh, all of your corrupt, all of your sin to Him. Ask Him to live in your heart, to fill you with His Holy Spirit, and to help you learn how to be more like Him. You never will manage it while still in this world.
I'll tell you what though, anyone who doesn't know Him yet, but wants to... give your everything to Him just like I said above... and the wait is not going to be long at all.
Or, if He has already come, and your heart was not ready... you hadn't given your everything to Him, and trusted in His Worthiness instead of your own... You can still turn to Him. You are going to have to go through Tribulation and it is not going to be easy. But God, Jesus... both His Head and His Body... we will be fighting for you! And so, you can still give your life to Jesus as long as you haven't taken upon yourself the irreversible mark of Satan. Don't take Satan's mark. He may seem beautiful but he is anything but. He is PURE EVIL. Stay as far away as possible and do not take his mark or worship him... even if it means your physical life. Choosing physical life over Jesus who is Eternal Life... it equals DEATH. We are way more than this meat suit we occupy. Choose Jesus and He WILL SEAL YOU. You will live with Him forever.
Or choose Satan and he will mark you. Mark you for DEATH eternal.
It's up to us and the choice is ours, only "you" can make it. Your mom or dad can't make it for you. No one can but you. Jesus has already chosen and He has chosen "you". It's so easy. Because even though you are deserving of death due to your sin and corruption (we all are, me too)... you don't have to die. Because He has chosen to send Jesus so that you might live. And when Jesus died for all of us, that was Him CHOOSING "you". All one has to do... choose Him Back!
