The Book of Revelation - A Synopsis

1. Mary with child ?
2. the child ? the bride ?
3. others ?

dunno..

The Serpent was used by Satan to deceive. Just like he will use aliens to deceive this modern atheistic society.

Your interpretation of some of the events is incorrect. For instance, time in prophecy is not the same as regular time. A prophetic day equals a literal year in prophecy. The 2 witnesses (the old and new testaments) did witness in ashes and sackloth the 1260 years that the Papacy ruled unrivaled (538-1798), at which time they received a deadly wound (when Napoleon sent his general, Belesarius into Rome and they captured the pope and he died in captivity) but we're told that wound would eventually be healed, and well that happened in the early 1900's. The antichrist is already here and working. Their mark is Sunday sacredness in plain opposition to the word of God where God says his sabbath is the 7th day, not the 1st. However, until it is ENFORCED by law, people won't have the mark. Once the mark is enforced, the 7 last plagues start to fall, but only on those who have the mark, God's people are miraculously protected through it and delivered as Jesus comes at the culmination of the 7th plague. Those who have died in Jesus are resurrected along with those who are changed in a moment, and they all go to HEAVEN for 1000 years. Satan is bound here on this earth for that time because when Jesus comes you either go with him to heaven or you are destroyed and killed by the brightness of his coming. After the 1000 years, the New Jerusalem descends back to earth with the redeemed. All the lost are resurrected and satan actually makes them think they can overcome the holy city.... but fire comes down from God out of heaven and destroys them all! This is hell, hell fire that will wipe the universe clean from sin and sinners for eternity! They will be gone forever and the righteous will live for eternity on the earth made new.

But, if the woman were the OT people, why would she be taken out 3.50 years into the tribulation and put in the wilderness and protected? They are already dead in the body, so it doesn't fit?

I used to think the manchild was Jesus, but changed my view to the 144k because it fits in the cross references.

As far as who the "other offspring" is, I too believe they are christians, but not sure if they are the foolish or wise virgins.....I lean twords the foolish virgins that were not ready when the 7th trump was blown? Not totally sure about that tho.

Trying to figure it out.

Nope, nope and nope.......LOL!

SO DUMB


the endgame is the complete relocation of our ENTIRE planet

STOP talking about something you know NOTHING about!!!

The Mark of the Beast is just a Band-Aid solution to fix

a flawed economy. It simply harnesses the underground economy.

The main goal is to gain absolute control of the general population.

I could see it being introduced in Europe out of sheer desperation but the people will say no.

That seems very possible.

What proof do you have that aliens didn't write your Bible?

Ok, you don't believe in Jesus or the Bible. We get it. Enough already, thanks for sharing.

I wished,
half of the Germans would know half of those things..

hum..

I wonder what these guys who saw 'visions' and heard 'voices' were high on. Some ate 'wafers' of some sort and others drank some sort of concoction. Today, people who claim they see 'visions' or hear 'voices' are either accused of smoking too much weed or schrooms, or they're called schizophrenic and have pharmaceutical drugs shoved down their throats.

Psalm 99:1
The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.


Psalm 18:7
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

Isaiah 24:20
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage

Psalm 46:2
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed...


EARTH will be MOVED


this explains "new heavens new earth"

Revelation 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.


no sun


Revelation 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

no sun
our light will come from another source

A woman in prophecy always represents a church. In this case it is the true church. The church that held to the apostolic teachings, the same church that had to flee to get away from the persecution of the Roman Church (the RCC). The RCC is the whore of Babylon and most of her daughters is modern day Protestantism. God's true people are told to COME OUT of these false systems of worship and get back to worshipping the Creator God and obey HIS commandments! Not the commandments of men (like Sunday worship), but the commandments of God, INCLUDING the 4th one to keep the Sabbath holy, the Sabbath God instituted at creation! This will be the line of demarcation between those who really worship God and those who don't. The bible warned that a religious power would come along who would "think to change times and laws". History proves it did, which is why we're warned to come out of her!

It says the light will come from Jesus and His glory, we will need the sun no more because He will shine and light up everything.

Hi Lisa,
Don't post much at this site but will answer as best I can.
Rev 12-14 is the heart of Revelation. It is an overview.

After Jesus is born those Jews believing in Jesus were scattered. See Acts 8:1 after Stephen was stoned and great persecution arose. These faithful Jews continued to witness until 66AD when the first attack by Rome occurred. At that times ALL the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem left as Jesus commanded them to do. Not one Christian was lost in the destruction of 70AD!

So the woman was in the wilderness (near Pella on the Jordon River) from 66-70AD or 3.5 years.

Unfortunately I think you are following a pretrib structure of Revelation. CLick on that link I provided. He has a wonderful chapter on Rev. 12: Here it is: [link to spindleworks.com]

God bless you
Here's an email if you want to chat further about this:

Not always........the nation is Israel is called a woman throughout the whole bible. Paganism is also called a woman, and the bride of christ is also a woman.

I'm absolutely not a pre-tribber, the opposite in fact.

The structure of revelation in the original post is exactly what it says in revelation from chapter 1 through to the end.

I read and took notes and wrote down only exactly what it said.

Thanks for commenting tho.

That's new age BS. We are not going to be "crystal based beings".........stop it.

Israel was God's chosen people (or church) at that time, paganism is a mixture of truth and error in religion, the bride of Christ is his church. It's always a church, it can be a true church or a false church, a good church or a bad church, but it's a church. And I'm speaking of prophecy, prophecy has symbolic language and to understand it we have to allow the bible to tell us what the symbols mean.

^^^^ good study material above ^^^^.......thanks!

there are many books in the bible that are not written in chronological order. revelation is one of them. so, when you read Revelation, do not read it like a story book in chronological order. instead, compare the seals, trumps, and bowls and gather them together. then make a chronology. i did a thread on this a while back. see if i can find it

Nope, it's definitely written in chronological order. God is not a God of disorder, He wouldn't write it backwards or mixed up. No way.

No, Revelation is actually one that is not written chronologically

And to understand Revelation you HAVE to know Daniel as well, they go hand in hand!

How do you know?

Maybe he changed his mind about the whole thing like in the OT.

Exodus 32:14

So the LORD changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his people.

Lisa, my dear sister. it is not in chronological order. i can compile a list of scholarly articles, journals and books that will help enlighten you as to the writing style of the book. most old testament books and a few gospels and epistles are not in chronological order. not only are the writings in each book not always in chronological order, but the books themselves are not in chronological order.

this has nothing to do with God or disorder.

Thread: TRUMPET SOUNDS - The Order of Revelation's 21 Plages. Things won't go down consecutively as it's written.

It sure does have something to do with God being a God of order. Why would HE write it all mixed up to confused people?

That makes no sense at all......I absolutely believe it was written the way it was supposed to be read, in chronological order. There is nothing you can say that would make me think otherwise.

CHAPTER 3 should be titled "The Failure of The Church"

of the (7) letters, (6) were pink slips.

Only the "Love Church," Philadelphia got a passing grade.

Next to impossible to find one today.

That's true!
