Hello world. Welcome to the boys up our broadcast. I can thank you so very much for turning in with me today. I knew that God has something in store for you and for your family for your ministry and for what is called you to do. I would just encourage you to stand fast squared his shoulders and stand with steadfast confidence in the word of God. Because if he told you he will perform and complete that which he has started within you.
Today were going to pick up in Revelation chapter 12 and were going to look the verse by verse here today.
We of course have Revelation 1 through 11 and remember I told you that chapters 10 and 11 were parenthetical chapters, which means they are inserted at about the midpoint of tribulation sucked at this point in our study, we are at the midpoint of tribulation and the great tribulation is about to be poured out upon the earth. Now we have seen the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel's 70th week. The time of Jacob's trouble in which the church is been rapture and the church is in heaven. We seen so far about the seven civil judgments have been completed and there has been well there has been famine.
The antichrist is come on the scene and he has established himself as God, he is called himself God has set himself in the temple calling himself God. We see that he signed a treaty with the nation of Israel admit at the beginning of the tribulation period and brought peace to the earth during the cataclysmic time in the time of chaos that was taking place upon the earth at that time, probably because of the rapture. I believe that the rapture of the church. What institutes the seven years of tribulation and of course the antichrist came on the scene brought peace sign the training for seven years with the nation of Israel. He has on nations around him that he has conquered and that he has taken over, probably European nations are probably African nations probably missions in the Middle East such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, places to the north, Europe, and so forth. So it's taken over those kingdoms he have brought them under his religion, his his ideology and what he holds to be true. They bought into this line.
The Bible says that the at this time, the people would be deceived with lying wonders, and he has done just that is just about to get worse. But we've also seen that there is been a great revival that God has raised up 144,000 Jewish evangelists who have one around the world preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Bible says in Revelation, but an innumerable multitude has come to faith in Christ. Also we saw in Revelation chapter 11, the two witnesses that would preach the gospel from the midpoint all the way to the end of tribulation and that they would be killed, that people would rejoice at them laying in the streets of Jerusalem the whole world. The Bible says will look upon them at this time, probably through the way of Internet and television and the Bible says that they are captured up immediately and people are amazed and astonished at what they are saying because they are saying these two witnesses rapture the way into heaven with God and we know that they preach the gospel throughout the known world there and that they preach the gospel to the Jews and to the Gentile alike throughout the land of Israel and people had come to the knowledge and the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ brings us to Revelation chapter 12 and it still parenthetical. Here are really picking up chronologically quite yet. The next chronological events to take place on the second three and half years of tribulation would be the seven final judgments are seven bowl judgments which will be cataclysmic. It will bring chaos. It will bring destruction to the earth death will come with voicing a lot of death. We have seen a lot of debt throughout the Revelation already, and hopefully we can get herself together in the study to understand what he saying to us in Revelation chapter 12 because in chapter 12. Here he is describing to us for personages. We see the woman we see the Dragon we see the man child. We see the Archangel Dr. more than force actually seven, we see the remnant we see the beast out of the sea would oversee the beast out of the earth, so that's seven personalities they are willing to cover in Revelation chapter 12 and what Revelation 12 is telling us is explaining to us what is taking place through these personages. In other words, a brief overview of who they are tells you of the road that they play during the time of tribulation and you see the pictures and the types and shadows here suck lettuce just began by reading in Revelation chapter 12 I'll tell you beforehand that an introduction here that Revelation chapters 12 and 13 consists of what might be best described as an intermission, or parenthetical, as I mentioned before passage between the trumpets and the seals.during this time. Seven distinct personages are introduced and I just went over those with you on each of these will be discussed in this lesson more fully revealed further in our studies, and I must remember to the 12th chapter begins with three major battles involving Satan and his opposition to God's plan now of the first battle took place long ago between Satan and God.
And when Satan was cast out of heaven with one third of his demonic forces. That's the family all that he was all that has been cast out of heaven as a fallen Angel segment still has limited access to heaven as the accuser of the brethren we see that in Job chapter 1 verse six, where the devil accuses Job before the Lord and sizzle recent searches because he has all these things and the blessings that are in his life. And of course we know that story how God allowed him to try and test Job in so many ways. The one thing he could not do was take his life and course will remove the head from it and allowed him to do this now. The second battle will involve Michael and his angels and Satan and his angels.
In this battle, Satan will be defeated and cast down to the earth during the tribulation. And he will be cast out. Not out of heaven where God is, but he will be cast out of the second heaven. You have to remember that there are three heavens mentioned in Scripture. The first heaven of course is the constellation that the universe in which we see and we look to gaze into the heavens. The second heaven is the spirit world that's angels, demonic spirits.
That's the world we cannot see sometimes people have limited vision into the spirit world public that it's best that we don't because if we could see the principalities and powers around us and the angelic host fighting on our behalf. It may bring fear into our hearts.
I believe the Lord doesn't allow us to see that although we know in faith that he has our back and that he has control of what's going on a bandsaw and of course the third heaven is where God is. If you remember the apostle Paul in second Corinthians chapter 12. He said I was called up into the third heaven and this is when Paul had his out of body experience where he was called into the third heaven where God was and he said he was shown things that he could not even utter, and cannot even tell you what he saw. That's why you I think about that. I have a hard time with people say they went to heaven and saw certain things and write books about them because even the apostle Paul himself was not able to tell the things that he saw in the third heaven which is where God is where our loved ones who have gone before us. So that's the three heavens that are mentioned in the Scriptures and remember the second heaven is the spirit world because that's where I fusion student to declare to us that the prince of the power of the air, who is the devil, he is the Prince and the power of the spirit world as far as him and his demonic forces are are in that world.
Of course God has the ultimate power by using his angels and in the spiritual warfare that goes on will get more into that as well, but let us go and start off by reading in Revelation chapter 12 in verse one of the first personages that we see here is the woman and she represents the nation of Israel. The woman is clothed with the sun and the man child Leslie verse one and the reported great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stone and being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered now Judy noticed a woman whose clothed with the sun and we also have the moon.
There's a lot of picture in typology here in in these first few verses as we read and let us continue and I will go ahead and read through verse number five. So was picked up and and in verse number three and there appeared another wonder in heaven, and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and 10 horns in the seven crowns upon his heads 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 and she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron and her child was caught up to God and to his throne. The universe live there. So we have the woman and of course she represents the nation of Israel. Notice that the context of the event is the same ongoing battle to stop the seed of the Messiah as promised. People remembered in Genesis chapter 3 in verse 15 and that verse I'll quote that to you and says I will put into between the woman, and between thy seed and her seed in it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Now, of course, is the prophecy the first messianic prophecy that we have in Scripture.
Prophecy given to Adam and Eve when the Lord said, I will put unity between the end woman is telling the student to the serpent and he says I will put my seed and opportunity between thy seed and her seed in it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. And of course the heel of Christ was bruised on the cross of Calvary.
However in performing that wonderful feet, Christ giving his life for all humanity.
He crushed the head of the serpent. They may have. That's why I like first John three in verse eight it says devil scene from the beginning, therefore who committed sin is of the devil.
But this reason, the son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. My God, I get excited thinking about that because my friend he has crushed the head of the serpent. But that's the same context or in Revelation chapter 12 because from the moment Satan heard this prophecy. He determined to destroy the offspring of the woman he didn't know how God was going to do it even really understand the concept of Jesus Christ. But he knew that God had a plan and that he was going to bring forth a seed. The seed of the woman. In other words, somebody was going to be born and somebody and that somebody was going to be the God man and that somebody was going to pay the penalty of sin that Adam and Eve brought upon the human race and infecting the human race with the sin nature. Satan has always felt Israel to hinder the seed line of the Messiah who would crush his head. Now the Bible mentions only three classes of people today. One should remember this. This is important of the Bible mentions the Jews the church.
The Jews and the Gentiles. At the end of 70th will cheer when the woman prevails and brings forth the man child. The church has been going from the earth for at least 3 1/2 years since Revelation chapter 4.
And this leaves only two classes after the rapture.
It links the Jews and Gentiles, and the women could not symbolize the Gentiles because they are the ones persecuting her so understand the woman is Israel. The woman must symbolize the national, state, and people of Israel to notice.
Secondly, that she was clothed with the sun and the moon was under her feet and she had a crown with 12 stalls upon her head which points to his right. Remember, this is the same image that Joseph Saul and his dream. Regarding Jacob, who was of course changed the name Israel and his sons reading from Genesis 37 verses nine through 11 drink yet another dream and told to his brethren and said, behold, I have dreamed a dream more and behold notice this, the sun and the moon and the 11 stars made omissions to meet and he told her to his father and to his brethren and his father would be up to him and set them to him limits this dream that thou hast dream. Shall I and my mother and I brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to the door to the earth and his brethren in the but his father observed the saying now have the sun and the moon are Jacob and Rachel. In this passage that's the typology the representation here in the 11 stars on the sons of Jacob, the 12 sons counting Joseph Joseph dreams of course he sees the 11 stalls which are his brothers and in the course of the sun and the moon represent Jacob and Rachel and we see that in the beginning of these passages of Revelation chapter 12, and some have acquainted the woman with Mary and which understand that as well. Some have appeal to that opinion. Some scholars have ever said that this was Marion since she gave birth and flailing to Egypt to avoid habits attempt to kill Christ that this must be her but other scholars look at the incident of the birth of the child and claimed that the woman is Mary still others point out that the sign appears in heaven, so this must be some idealization of the people of God know God's true bride remind you is his people, and I do not see that one must choose among these interpretations because new Jewish thought often escalates between the one and if you will notice that, for example, in the servant songs of the second part of Isaiah. The servant is sometimes Israel you will notice that in Isaiah 49 verse three, and sometimes an individual. You'll notice that in Isaiah 49 verse five.
If you want to reference those and entangled the Son of Man in the saints of the most high. Also alternate, also in our image. The woman is God's people, the faithful of Israel. The woman is also Mary who individualize that faithful group and giving birth to Jesus the Messiah. Now this could be a a I know this sounds kind of confusing to you but but basically what I'm saying is that many scholars believe that this woman represents not only the mission of Israel but also Mary in the passage that that I disclosed to you that that that there could be a wall of double reference if you will, for example, in Ezekiel 28 I believe it is as referring as Angel is prophesying to the king of Tyre, but if you remember in that passage. He also says that that that that you were above exalted in heaven and you will and pipes were prepared and you and you and you work over the nations will and I passages exit referring to Lucifer was in heaven as an archangel and pipes were prepared in him, but is also prophesying to the king of Tyre about some things are taking place in his life is that of course is the role of double reference. That's what we see there so we need to keep in mind. Many believe that this woman here in Revelation chapter 12 represents not only the nation of Israel but also Mary because she of course gave birth to the holy child Jesus, but in some scholars believe that they are one of the same because Mary came from Israel and gave birth to Christ in the nation of Israel gave birth to Christ. Whichever way you go along that you're not wrong, necessarily, but remember that the ultimate fulfillment of this passage of Revelation 12 and the sign in the symbolism of the woman represents the nation of Israel very important we understand now we secondly see the Dragon in this passage, and it is clearly clearly Satan notice verse nine of Revelation 12 and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which, to see with the whole world was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him now. The description of the Dragon. Seven heads and 10 horns and seven crowns upon his head is similar to the description of the antichrist and the beast made in Revelation 13 verse one and I stood upon the sand of the scene and saw a great beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and 10 horns upon his horns 10 crowns upon his heads were the names of blaspheming. Now it is plainly stated in Revelation 13 in verse 10 that this individual derives his authority from Satan, and this shows us that Satan is seeking a governmental authority over the woman's room that the woman being Israel which authority rightly belongs to Christ himself would need to bear that in mind, that is God's people. That is the apple of his eye the nation of Israel. Now the beast antichrist to literally derives his power from Satan, and finally conquers the 10 kings who ruled with him and declares himself God in the middle of the tribulation.
That's what he does. I know what you notice the Dragon was cast out of heaven and drew one third of the angels in the stalls with him now this most likely is a reference to the initial rebellion of Satan in heaven, in which he led a rebellion of angels under his authority against God. Now we understand that this is I believe a whole wall of double reference. That's what we are seeing here that's what were reading.
When the Bible says in Revelation chapter 12 that Satan was cast out of heaven is not only referring to him being cast out of heaven where God is when Jesus and I beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven in Luca 10. In verse 18. I believe that is but it's also referring to Satan being cast out of the second heaven where he is ruling the demonic forces there will be cast out of the second heaven on to the earth, and he will literally embody the Antichrist and rule and rooting through the antichrist now now the Antichrist up to this point has been inspired by Satan, but here is going to be embodied by Satan him self.
I want you to understand that and get that because that's what he's doing. Satan will literally be ruling on this people planet during the last 3 1/2 years of the tribulation. Now notice the sun.
The man child in verses four and five, the man child was to rule all nations in this of course is a messianic reference from Psalm chapter number seven, which means I would declare the decree F7 to meet all of my son, this day have I begotten asked of me, I shall give them the haven for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for my position, thou shalt break them with a roar of iron mouth shut � them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Now Jesus will crush the rebellion mantra to say that what you Jesus will crush the rebellion. This is why Satan stood before the woman here in Revelation 12 to immediately destroy her child. As previously discussed, and stated this and this is a vivid image of the battle that has raged since the promise of the Messiah was declared the garden of Eden is seen throughout the Bible Satan has persistently attempted to hinder and destroy the seed, the Messiah, and throughout God's plan of complete redemption. For example, the disqualification of Abel and Cain.
Cain killed Abel.
Therefore, there wasn't no one for the promisee to come through.
That was the plan of the enemy. The whole time and also the slaughter of the infants by federal and Egypt that was attempt inspired by the enemy through Pharaoh to destroy the promising from coming upon the earth of the slaughter of the infants might have read when he sent out to care of the babies two years and younger. That was another attempt by the enemy to destroy the seed of the from coming upon the earth to crush the head of the serpent and then we see the crucifixion of Jesus.
The devil thought he had defeated the plan of God. He thought it when he put Christ on the cross, he didn't realize the plan of redemption understand the mystery of salvation, how God could become a man being humanity into himself by his blood, but my friend, when Jesus gave up the ghost upon that class.
They had a shouting meeting will invite great food to all forces of the devil himself that Jesus Christ was owed to the will of God the father and that he had conquered sin and that he had conquered death in relation 1827 behold I am he that was alive forever more and have the keys of death and held my friend he conquered death, he conquered was nice to know what his life wasn't allowed Jesus Christ. He conquered death and he conquered and has no power over us. The child of today the tried to destroy this plan of God, but he could not receive it. Up until now in the time of tribulation that he has a hatred for God's people.
In Revelation chapter 3 verses four and five in Revelation 7 through 12 and again in Revelation 13 verse six we see the hatred that Satan has for the people of God, and he still trying to destroy the Roman the people of God, the nation of Israel. Notice that her son was called up to God's throne which refers to the birth the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
He is victorious and let me tell you he will be victorious. I just can't help but think about Revelation chapter 1, I just I feel I just feel it in my soul like Nelson very strongly because John turned to hear the voice that spoke with him and he said well I turned around I saw seven golden candlesticks and he said in the midst of the seven candlesticks I saw one like unto the son of man who was clothed with a garment down to the foot was good about the paps with the Col. said his head and his hair was white like rule as white as snow is all eyes were like a four 5 identifying glasses if they had been burned in a furnace voice was as the sound of water supply frame picture vision of Jesus Christ, according to the first and last of the one who was the one who is kind of stuck because he's victorious, incomplete in this life. My God somebody just shot you off right now.
After the fire shut up in my bones and I cannot still feel his presence here. My tribulation is not too much for the Lord reveals himself as King of Kings and he shall come better limits the rights we shall be with him to the saints antichrist.
Jesus Christ is God like a preacher because he is good.
Could not defeat authority cannot defeat Christ in my free will to put this revelation that it's Christ on the inside of the same one who crush the head of the servant assumed one who would protect the ocean. Chapter 12 the nation of Israel bring his people back to one who has from the cross and through the resurrection and the power of God. My friend just received that right not receive that into your spirit what you're facing today. I don't care what color were having a Bible study abroad just a few of us in my spirit I don't know what you're facing today, but you can have victory.
I don't care what you will and has a hold of your life. Whatever bondage that has been placed upon your shoulders.
Jesus is crying to him right now. He says, coming to rest upon you and learn of me for I am meek and hard and you shall find rest of the sales by you is easy and my burden is light, God cast all your care upon him right now, for he cares for you, and he shall give you peace and he shall give you victory, victory in Jesus victory in Jesus Christ of hallelujah to God for that I thank God for him now knows the woman fled into the wilderness, we read that Revelation 12 in verse six and the woman fled into the wilderness where she hath a place prepared of God that they should feed her there 1200 and threescore days.
My friend that is thousand 260 days of 3 1/2 years so she fled into the wilderness and listen Israel will oppose the Antichrist when he reveals his true agenda and sets himself up in the temple as God, which is absolutely flabbergasted because the Antichrist up until this point has probably been smoothing them over with this kind speech and his smooth talking and saying all were going to allow you to worship in the temple of the temple that Solomon built the temple that Herod built the temple, but that we've built here in the time of tribulation. It's going to be most temple in the world. I'm going to to worship. I'm going to be behind you. I'm going to have you back and you can serve God. All the babies of that's what is going to deletion. The Bible says he sets himself up in the temple as God calling himself God think about the Jews are just absolutely off by this because they know in their heart that even though he's looking for the Messiah that he's not the Messiah doesn't fulfill any of the prophetic Scriptures at the Old Testament and of course in the Bible so that they oppose him when he reveals his true agenda.
Best, he will persecute the Jews and they will be forced to flee from Jerusalem. Think about God will provide protection for them during this time.
Jesus clearly told Israel to flee into the wilderness when the Obama mission of desolation occurs in a passage from Matthew 24 verse 15 and 16 when you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place so we just let him understand, and then will head for them which be in Judea flowing into the mountain but were forewarned and instructed in survival. I want you to notice that year that Jesus wound that this will happen and he told them as a nation.
He said when you see the abomination of desolation and the all the discourse he told the mountains for protection and God will provide protection for them during this time I just think this is wonderful Jews who realize that if they prove the preaching of the hundred and 44,000. Surely they prove the preaching of the two witnesses and and and and and and they've heard the power taught in the word of God and how God is transform lives, even during the time of tribulation nine. Many say they were going to experience an outpouring of God's spirit before the rapture and I believe I believe it will be for the room. The true data necessary for the world for the short term stays pure and holy before pulled out his spirit and use us to learn those to Jesus Christ before he throws in the circle to bring in the harvest before the rapture but I will tell you a great revival. The greatest revival of the swing of literacy will take place during the seven years of tribute mission Jews are going to come to the saving knowledge of Christ releasing the Antichrist, revealing his true agenda setting himself up in the temple as God and and and and demanding that they worship when they declined to do this. He is going to persecute the people decide to take my mark worship.
If you don't, you can buy, sell, trade, and you can't worship so they flew into the mountains and God's naturally protects them, wraps his arms around my friend that God has a covenant with Abraham. He has a covenant with them and he's fulfilling his covenant to the very thankful for that. Or just thankful that God is a covenant God makes a promise to his promises are yes and him him and he will fulfill what he said my friend. Numbers 2319 declares this, God is not a man that he should live or see the Son of Man, but he should not set it shall he not do it outspoken, shall he not make good on what he has said if God said that you can get shall happen, it shall come to pass, just as he said he is a faithful God is for the foot of the nation of Israel during the time of tribulation, but the greatest moves that this world has ever seen greatest cataclysmic events in the greatest judgment of God being poured out upon this people, planet, God is still reviewing his mercy and his love and his grace toward his people for him all the love of God, but just wells up in our hearts when we read passages like this. He has prepared protection and he has prepared a covering for his remnant people.
The mission of Israel during the time of tribulation if they will only seek after him and accept him by faith for how I praise the Lord for this stick in verse seven of Revelation 12 shall work and there was where in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dry default and his angels, and prevailed not the was their place found any more in heaven and the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan was deceived with the whole world.
He was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him now.
Like I told you before, I truly believe this is a double reference here I believe it's referring to not only the time when he was kicked out of heaven where God is, but he was kicked out of heaven into the second heaven with the spirit world is today the prince of the power of the air fission student to and of course he will be cast out again from the second heaven by Michael the Archangel into the earth, which of course is considered the first heaven and the galaxies and the thing that first so he is kicked into kicked out of the second heaven into the earth to embody the Antichrist metal that's referring to here listen to verse 11, they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb want you to say that and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives under the basket Burstein was good and I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night and say verse 11 again overcame him by the blood of the Lamb of the world of the testimony they loved not their lives unto death. Verse 12 therefore rejoice, the heavens dwell in them little to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down unto you. That's the first heaven. That's where we are like now the world, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time my friend has known this since the Garden of Eden is known as a short time to win all these things are being revealed, and all these things are taking place in the natural my free vacancy in the spirit and they see, and he sees the devil sees that his time is very short that he only has a little bit of time to fulfill the purpose and the plan that he has devised against God. Now this battle takes place between Michael and his angels and Satan and his fallen angels in the middle of the jubilation. Satan is cast out of heaven once and for all. He will have no more access as he currently does, but in petitioning God, accusing his saints reading from Job chapter 1 verse six it says now that was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, which comes now then Satan answered the Lord and said, from going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in itself, nearly, of course, when you're in the spirit world. The second heaven map you have access to this world only in the spiritual realm or not. They're not physically here even though demonic spirits can possess a person and that's the only way they can physically be here but but as far as them being present.
They are present in the spiritual realm. That's why it's so important that we portray. That's why it's so important that we pretty clean the precious blood of Christ over our lives and our children's lives and over the lives of our families.
That's what's so important that we don't allow the enemy a foothold in our lives through what we look at on television and the computer and how we talk to our spouse and how we talk to our children and how we act and and how we communicate in our daily lives, and at home would allow the enemy to have a foothold in our home because we give them a foothill take a mile and destroy your life, because he comes to kill still in distress a bunch of that we can leave the precious blood of our Savior over our lives over our bodies, ourselves and our spirits and over our minds and he shall protect us for all eternity.
We overcome by the blood of the Lamb by the word of our testimony. Satan exists in the spirit world's prince of the power there, but he has limited access and have this works on publisher boards basing it off the Scriptures.
Although Satan accuses the saints. The victory is secured by the blood of the Lamb and the word of testimony was the announcement heaven, now is come salvation, and strength in the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ, Burstein, this is the announcement of the beginning of the end. From this point God will usher the event stability to a brisk close fast tending the worst part of the tribulation is about to occur. That is called the great tribulation, but it is the beginning of the end, and Christ will soon return. Revelation 19 and Satan.
Verse 12 says has only a short time to do this while there was excitement at this point. This will be a terrible day for the earth is God's wrath has overly been played out on the wicked and now Satan is cast to the earth, and he will invoke his wrath against God's people, and of course this announces the food will move back in our recent studies.
In Revelation, you will see the first two rows of over the past but the third lowest coming notice verse 12 of Revelation chapter 12 moved to the inhabitants of the earth and of the seat for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he hath but a short time. The food will was coming. Satan's wrath is vibrantly almost on the earth. Let's look at verse 13 were going to mention verse 17 and when the Dragon saw that he was cast onto the earth and persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child until a woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for the time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent and the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the remnant that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. Verse six paint and the earth help for women in the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth and the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make river with the of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have their testimony of Jesus Christ. Satan will attack Israel, my friend, particularly the two will not collaborate with Antichrist. This angers him, his anger, Satan, and he embodies the Antichrist and he comes against the wind people of God and all the while those who are accepting this mark of the beast were to get into next week. In chapter 13. They are they are saying all this take place as well but but Satan and the Antichrist, or after the ring, the people of God.
The people of the Roman which we talked about earlier. The woman being the nation of Israel. They will be bitterly persecuted and minimart but a room that will be spared. According verse 14 the agreement will flee into the wilderness a bit of time was spared for 42 months. 3 1/2 years courses those times times and I have that's 3 1/2 years and of course I quoted to you.
When Jesus in Matthew 24. 15 minutes of music therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place. I said, whosoever read if you let him understand, then let them which may Judea flee into the mountains of this room for a schemata to escape the persecution of the Antichrist and they will flee to the mountains for protection and the floodwater that was designed to carry Israel really probably represents the tremendous and overwhelming attack upon the it's a little flood of water. I believe it's just a representation here of the attacks that will come like a flood of the enemy coming in like a flood to destroy the people of God but God at this point will lift up a standard against. He will protect the nation of Israel his room.
It people, the people of the woman. This is probably the armies of the antichrist.
I imagine they cover the terrain and cannot isolate the room that they go into the hands of Jimmy the Antichrist's military operations make they go when they fly over the mountains of Judea, and they can't find this limit because they are supernatural or close by God and noticed that they are assisted by the earth which swallowed up before, some have taken this on verse 16 is a little flood but since his work in every direction. The compote of the plan does not find itself to such a flood. Probably the Fed represents an effort to determine usual like a sub threat because this is through the rough terrain which provides hiding place in some way. God assist the Israelites of that they are not completely destroyed. Zechariah 13 verse eight indicates that two thirds will be struck down and parish.
Thus, they are afforded some type of protection divinely inspired and distinctly Antichrist. Possibly I imagine hidden and protected by us and surrounding nations by being the nation of America may have an investment in the subtle helping protect the nation of Israel to cover them under military protection from the antichrist.
These are things we have to think about that could be taking place at this time and I hope this point after the rapture.
During this time of tribulation still supporting and standing up for the nation of Israel and maybe that will help protect from the Antichrist and his will for the people of God. So let us continue. Because much notice as well. The hundred and 44,000 were spared in relation seven and single Mount Zion. In Revelation chapter 14 and will see that coming up in a couple of weeks are not the same as this one. This is different. Those hundred and 44,000 of angels from Revelation 7, who was enraptured in Revelation 14 about the same as the believers come to the saving knowledge of Christ during the tribulation. Although most of the Jews were killed by the antichrist of the room. It will be spared and probably constitute the nation of Israel at the second coming of Christ to earth to establish his 1000 terrain.
Now the Dragon becomes wealth. When he cannot devour the hidden limit and turns his persecution on those who did not escape something.
Zechariah 14 in verse eight says two thirds are killed by the antichrist. I have always studied adverse and I've thought that it kind of contradicts the time of tribulation because I believe that a lot of the wounded juniors will be spared and protected divinely as it says here by God I'll be the antichrist and his armies will be able to find them.
I don't believe they'll be able to pinpoint where they are in the heroes of Judea and having that been said, I believe that Zechariah 13 it could possibly mean when it says the two thirds of the Jews are cute lovely, but that may be referring to another prophetic point in history.
Possibly the Holocaust because if you remember 6 million+ were killed during the time of Hitler's Nazi Germany think about over 6+ million Jews and people record that they say that it was two thirds of the Jewish population was channeled during that time and I believe personally with my opinion. You can disagree her going with me, but I believe Zechariah 13 verse eight is a prophetic word of the Holocaust.
I believe that I believe apparently referring to the to the time of Hitler's Germany. When the persecuted and executed 6 million+ Jews and and history records that two thirds of the Jewish population was killed at that time in history.
During that time and in in in history in the 20th century, so probably that's what I was referring to believe that the Jews here in Revelation, the people of God. Jesus, of course, giving the warning. Matthew 24 believe that they are spared. I believe that their lives are covered supernatural by God. I believe they may be helped by other nations around the world, possibly America. I hope so. That would be wonderful. Now notice the Dragon becomes wealth. As I said before he's upset at the hands of the enemy is embodied antichrist is managed on the findings. Limit the so what he does notice in verse 17 he turns his persecution on those who did not escape those who were not able to flee into the mountains and escape the persecution and the wrath of the enemy and the antichrist escapes the antichrist. Others will come to faith in Christ and the Antichrist will then direct all of his fury on them is quite possible that the antichrist will become distracted from the estate.
Printed in the effort to keep additional Jews from opposing his abomination of desolation so probably those Jews who did not escape into the hills of Judea who are not protected divinely by God, who are still around about the city of Jerusalem and the nation of Israel. There is probably going to turn his attention on them to persecute them and revealed himself as the hatred of the Jews, and he will reveal himself as persecuting God's people.
I believe that's what will take place is quite possible that the antichrist will be distracted with that he knows that that they are he's not able. His arm is not able to get to the remnant people so he quits wasting his time chasing after the being spared by God, he turns his attention on those who do not escape 10 things that I believe constitute the third row of Revelation.
I believe number one great tribulation. As such, as the world has never seen.
No, never will see again. I believe it will be worse. I will be obligate will be more harsh will be more cataclysmic than the Jewish Holocaust. I believe that it will be worse than I believe that that that that there will be a time. The world has never seen. 11.
I believe it will be a time of long usual. Secondly, thirdly, I believe it will be rule on the ring.
The people of God, who accept Christ during this time mainly the Jewish people who accept him as Messiah. Thirdly, I believe that there will be first worship of Satan and the antichrist.
I believe that there will also be rule on Christians, I believe there will be deception by miracles. I believe physical brands on people enforced by law and the death penalty. I believe there will be first denial of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit will be forced to do that and if not you will be killed to be moderate will be reachable by cell to keep in mind that people would be living during this time people will be living. Empirical stimulation people will be giving in marriage, the beginning Mary having babies trying to live through this time of tribulation. The best they can, and then when the antichrist and the government say that you cannot eat. You cannot buy. You cannot work. You cannot feed your baby. Listen worship the antichrist. What are you going to do. Number nine. The ninth reason obligate will beware workers only model of the battle of Armageddon obligate will be the culmination probably there will be warblers taking place at this time, including Russia's Africa, South Africa, Vietnam. I believe it is Asia, North and South Korea may plan involvement here in the revived Roman empire that is the antichrist's ruling government of northern Europe probably the last agreement, and lastly obligate will be a mobilization of animations to Armageddon where they will be killed by the millions. Probably that's what will take place right there. Obligate battle of Armageddon will be the culmination of world wars during the time of tribulation, and it will be the ultimate battle where God is opposed and the people of God are are are are trying to be annihilated from the face of the earth. And then of course the Lord Jesus Christ reveals himself with Greg might empower watch them out with the word of his mouth Christ. God so much to look forward to so much to to see into the future.
