"Martin M " 3 raptures""
Hello Martin ,
First i would like to Thank Patti C and Lydia F for their remarks.
i also thank you for your reply.
you are right that i should have mentioned the Jews with the lukewarm church as the left behind
after the rapture of the bride but it was not the focus though of who will be taken and who will
be left behind as much it was on the point of several raptures hint that i see in the verse
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
i would appreciate to have your opinion of the main point of my tought .
also permit me to disagree on your comment
"when you read Revelation 12:2 and 12:5 , you'll see this woman gave birth to Jesus"
i don't see Jesus as the child delivered by the woman ( the church ) but i see the bride as the child
as in verse 4
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
the dragon ( satan ) stood before the woman ( the church ) to devour his child ( the bride )
how can satan stand before the woman to devour Jesus , he wouldn't dare think about it.
but he would try to devour the bride ...its his job.
you mentioned the church did not give birth to Jesus . i agree , it gave birth to the bride.
looking forward seeing you soon in the air my brother in Chirst.
God Bless.
Paul Joseph.
