to John Tng and the five Doves site
Most of the time as christian, Ive been told, that the sign in Rev. 12. - the woman with child, - is Israel - and the child who she gave birth to, is Jesus. - and its understandable in a way, - but, - when I read in the scripture, I think it tells us more than that. - Because if you read in verse 5, and then look in Rev 2:26-29.v. Jesus says the same words to those christians who listen to, and follow Him alone. - in fact He and those are one !
So could it be that way, that the woman with child, - also is the church ? - and the child she give birth to, - is the - "body" - of christ, the firstfruit, those who belongs to Him, the children God gave to Jesus, the Philadelphians, the five virgins, those invitated to the wedding, - saying thanks and yes Lord - the bride ???
the Bible tells us, that we are the "Body of Christ, and He is the Head", - but where is the "Head" of Christ now ? - and where is the "Body" of Christ now ? - if we are chosen because of our faith in Jesus, and that amazing and great mercy, from our wonderful God and Father, - did the scripture in Ezekiel 16:4-6.v. then talk about us to ???
If we believe in Jesus Christ, then we are a part of Him, - and He is not "whole" before He have His beloved second part, - His Body - with Him. - So if you dont want to talk about rapture, caugth away, escape, or hidden places - then read in John. 14:1-3.v. and 17:22-26.v. read what Jesus says to us, and what He ask His and our Father about and for !
Please just read it, dont behead me, or call me a false teacher, - take a deep breath before that, - I just tell you my thougths, because I think it could explain a lot !
So let us lay down our adam/eve natur, let it die, - looking forward to the new person in Jesus Christ, as a part of Him, who is our Saviour, Redeemer, our Brother and Love, - the Family-Head of a new creation in God, - Read in Romans 8.
may Peace, Love and Joy fill your heart from this moment, - Glory and Praise to Jesus - jan mikael. ><> <><
Revelation 12
12:1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.12:2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
12:3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
12:4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
12:7 There was war in the sky. Michael and his angels made war on the dragon. The dragon and his angels made war.
12:8 They didn't prevail, neither was a place found for him any more in heaven.
12:9 The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
12:10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now is come the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.
12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
12:12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time."
12:13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
12:14 Two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, so that she might be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
12:15 The serpent spewed water out of his mouth after the woman like a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
12:16 The earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
12:17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God's commandments and hold Jesus' testimony.
