"Rapture, Revelation and the Woman of  Chapter 12"


Sons and Daughters of Christ

 

Please look at this with eyes open and a receiving Spirit

and do NOT ASSUME what your CHURCH has taught you.

 

God told us to be Bereans !!!

 

Could we possibly have to go through Trials/ Tribulation –but  NOT WRATH(Judgment)

 

What does God say here?

 

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you,

as though some strange thing happened unto you:

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that,

when HIS GLORY shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

 

A True Believer is supposed to REJOICE that we might have to partake in CHRISTS SUFFERINGS

AMEN – so be it …

 

The “Rapture Verse”

 

1 Cor 15:51 52

Behold I tell you a Mystery. We shall not all sleep( ie die) but we shall all  be changed-

in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet.

For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead will be raised ( dead raised first )

incorruptible and we shall be changed. (then we are changed)

 

The key words here are MYSTERY  /  THE LAST TRUMPET / DEAD RAISED-

where do we find similar Language ?

 

Trumpet is again spoken of here along with THE DEAD IN CHRIST- So they are associated together

in 1 Th 4 16

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

 

Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound,

the Mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

 

When is the 7th angel sounding??? In my Bible the last trump I see is the 7th Trump

Unless you count backwards where you come fromJ

 

This is at THE END WHEN THE MYSTERY OF GOD IS FINISHED.

The FINISH – ie THE END of the TRIB.

 

So the Bible is very clear that this RAPTURE or MYSTERY is at the LAST TRUMP…the 7 th along with

the dead in Christ arising and the believers still alive following.

 

This is also supported MULTIPLE TIMES in John

which speaks of the Resurrection of the DEAD AT THE LAST DAY -The 7th TRUMP when the MYSTERY

is finished.   (The Dead in Christ RISE FIRST)

 

John

6 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath

given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

6 40 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me

I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

6 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him:

and I will raise him up at the last day.

 

 

Now What about Revelation 12 ???

 

Could this be pointing to a taking away of the WOMAN at the mid point of the Trib

 

A possible “secret” rapture?

 

Rev 12 6

[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.

 

From Rev 12 5 We know that Israel produced Christ

 

….and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before

the woman (Satan standing before Israel ) which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon

as it was born.( Israel the WOMAN brings – The Christ – The REDEEMER)

And she brought forth a man child (Christ) who was to rule all nations with a ROD OF IRON

 

So this Woman here is referred and we know as Israel..

 

[13] And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman(Israel)

which brought forth the man [child]. (Christ)

[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.

[15] And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood

after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

[16] And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed

up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

[17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,

which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev 12:1-17 KJV)

 

The woman (Israel - however God chooses to define in  terms of people at the time) is protected and kept by God in the wilderness.(Wherever God sees fit) While the DRAGON - SATAN – probably by use of ANTICHRIST goes to make war with the remnant of her seed. What is the remnant of her seed? Those that keep the Commandments of Christ—that is the remaining true believers. The Christians are the seed of Israel- the woman. We are the branch that was grafted in.

 

Are the believers still here after the MID POINT ??

It sure seems to look that way. 

 

BECAUSE AFTER THE WOMAN GOES INTO THE WILDERNESS SATAN ATTACKS THE BELIEVERS

 

If they were “Raptured” WHY ARE THEY STILL THERE??

 

Rev 13 7

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

or

Dan 7 21

I beheld and the same horn made war with the Saints and prevailed against them…..

or

Dan 12 6-

How long shall it be till the end of these wonders????

…and he sware by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time times and a half and when he shall have accomplished TO SCATTER THE POWER OF THE HOLY PEOPLE ( BELIEVERS) all these things shall be finished.

 

We are not as believers subject to God’s WRATH-eternal damnation….

 

But CAN we be subject to TRIBULATION? Absolutely

 

The Devil  ie Satan- ie Antichrist – shall  be trying you in the coming tribulation

The Number 10 is used as a number signifying completeness that is from Point A to Point B.

Just as the number 100 is used for all of God’s Sheep. Just as the number 1000 is used. etc.

 

Rev 2 10

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast [some]

of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days:

be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

 

THEY CAME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION- BECAUSE THEY WENT THROUGH IT

 

Rev 7 14

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,

These are they which came out of great tribulation,

and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
