REVELATION 12 SIGN

 

1 " And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

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.

5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

   This heavenly event shall appear in 2017 September 23/24 only daytime in most parts of the world!

           Therefore we use the cosmic software Stellarium were we can switch day into night by adding atmosphere so that we can see                   the constellation event in its full glory!

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

What do we have to expect of this constellation, and how do many interpret this event: 

 

The constellation Virgo as we can see in 2017 September 23/24 seen from Jerusalem represents the virgin clothed with the sun and the moon at her feet, as Rev 12 reveals, that's obvious. The constellation Leo is the Lion or the King and represents the Lord Christ. If we count the most close located visible stars in the Leo constellation than we see 12 stars: nine of the Leo constellation and three planets: Venus, Mars and Mercury and these all form "a crown of twelve stars ..." above the head of the virgin. This is so for the most right constellation, which is clear and irrefutable "a sign in the heavens 'represents, just as God told us in Genesis to watch the signs for they appoint times, feasts, days and years, all decided during creation and God revealed this to the people by saying:

Genesis 1:14:

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years;”

 

Note the planets Jupiter, Sun (star) Mercury, Mars, Venus and Regulus (star): these are in a straight line like shining stars, the moon at her feet = 7, a sacred number.

Jupiter in our solar system is called the king planet, and also suggests the king in this pictorial constellation, in this case the Son, the Christ, which is parallel in this constellation with the birth canal of the virgin. This means that a little later when Jupiter moves further to the left, the king is born as the passage in Revelation says so. The constellation we see in picture above,  therefore still points to the "birth pangs" before the birth. This means that when the king is born, and as this constellation confirms, it will be for the second time, but now proposed mentally, and points to the Second Coming of the Christ. At least this is what many bible teachers teach today! But I do not agree with them!

 

But is it really a 'sign' of times? No, of course not! It is not the sign that Yeshua meant by the term "sign." By 'signs' He meant what we see happening around us and not what is going on above our heads, because that is by no means the interpretation of what Genesis 1:14 wants to tell us. Signs in the context of how to interpret signs, Yeshua in this case talked about earthly events: wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, smoke, erruptions, mass uprisings, genocides, mass epidemics, ect., these are signs, but He did not spread a single word about a constellation sign! Red Moon is a natural cosmic event and could be used as an instant sign. A dark sun is a consequence of a total solar eclips. Besides a solar eclips, which doesn't last long, the sun could only darken for a longer period when hidden behind dark clouds or invisible by a lot of black smoke coming from earth caused by some unpleasant reasons. And the latter reasons is the most acceptable.

​

This means that about the time that this character appears in the sky, taking into account what Revelation 12 further says, we should be approximately half of the last seven years or last week of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy as many claim! 

Why half? And are they correct about their claim?

Half because of the twelve hundred and sixty days "and this is equal to 3,5 years, or the midst of the week of seven years! But we know that Daniel's 70 week prophecy already was fulfilled by Yeshua and there is no last week left or a gap between the 69th and 70th week! Revelation only mentions 3,5 years/42 months not a whole week nor does it mention any church or rapture of a church but persecution and salvation of the elect which already happend once immediately after the cross. And 'the elect' in this context are not necessarily the church or only the church as many claim about some church who is going to be saved. To be correct, Yeshua never spoke about some church but only about the chosen, and the chosen - and again in this context - are not necessarily some church! And saved shall be only a few: one out of a thousand and two out of ten thousand! 

​

If we interpret the whole of this holy virgin, she probably reveals a take away of the tribulation saints to get them somewhere in a safer place.  Many claim this is the rapture of the elect and this is what most bible scholars also claim, mostly on the internet we see the same conclusions all along. But are they correct? Could be, but could also be not. However, I did some research about this, because in bible we find quotes telling us that Israel is called the Son and Firstborn of the Lord, which means that the born child (Jupiter in this Rev 12 constellation) also could refer to Israel and not to the church saints, but most apparently it refers to the Son himself! Rev 12:1-2 is only quoting history! The rest of Rev 12 is quoting parts of Daniel (1260 days) and parts of some early writings like for example the 'Ascension of Isaiah', talking about Daniel's 1260 and more days. It seems strongly, at least according to my experiences, that the book of Revelation is a compilation of several early texts about the end and quotes from biblical end time prophets. More on the Ascension of Isaiah and the End Days.  

 

Regarding my opinion the virgin is the bride Mary and the born child the Son who was taken into heaven after He died on the cross, then He went into the darkness and met Hades en saved His first fruits (BC saints) out of Hades' prison placing them in a safer place awaiting until His second coming and first resurrection. This is what really happened after Yeshua died on the cross according recorded witnesses. Scripture also states that after the cross, graves were opened and the dead arised walking around in the cities, returning to their families ... people who recognized them... ect.!

This cosmic event has actually nothing to do with some sign, it's only an interpretation of the writer of the Revelation book to express what he saw in heaven.

Anyway, this cosmic event could be an announcement of many pangs and horrible events against Israel (elect) in the near future, as we already have seen before, but not necessarily! The Eternal always will love His people and never will let them down for His people are the faithful elect;  the loyal ones who keep their trust in God until the end.

 

It’s obvious that God is bringing back Israel again, all tribes together by God in their own land and land of their ancestors: every man to his own tribe and everyone to his once appointed part of the land, just as it was decided by the Eternal at the beginning when He choosed His land and His people to start with, so all their children shall be His people and the Eternal shall be their One Living God, and at the end God’s plan comes to a good and happy end. But before Israel reaches this peace status, they have to go through many tribulations, where many of them shall lose their earthly life’s. And with Israel I do not point to current Israeli people or their country! Understand who is really meant by 'Isreal', and understand the concept of the ages being God's complete and determined time for mankind, which is; the time needed to advance every learning soul to a higher spirituality (higher self) by continually increasing and completing their knowledge through the centuries and the ages, until they come to full knowledge without any lack, and then they can possibly enter the Light Kingdom. But as long as a shortage of knowledge is found (after one dies or after one dies several times after several returns (incarnations) to the earth), no one will enter the Light Kingdom, even if he is righteous and without sin, or in another expression: 'many are called but only a few are chosen', as Yeshua told us many times. But I think many believers do not fully understand this and if you don't, you'll be lost because the last age for mankind is ending, for we currently live at the end of the ages, or end of times meant for this world! Well then, this is your last change!
This, dear brothers and sisters is the ultimate knowledge that one must acquire, because it is not like many think, or assume, or claim or whatever by claiming following quote: 'salvation only by faith' and that's it! No, absolutely not!  

Quotes from: the"Epistula Apostolorum":

"If one believes in me and does not keep my commandments (all inclusive!), having confessed my name, has no benefit from it, he has gone on an empty path. For people of this sort, they are lost and [doomed], because they have transgressed against my commandments."

"And whoever believes in me will live, provided he has done the work of light!" (getting knowledge through which the commandments become self-evident) 

​

Do we find any reference or link in bible about returning (incarnation) of souls? Sure, but no one who ever saw this as being God's plan for his souls throughout the ages!

Who was John the Baptist? Wasn't it Eliah! Who returns at the end to preach the gospel? Aren't they Eliah again, and Enoch, the two witnesses!

Matt 24: 33: "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

"When ye shall see these things"?! Ye?! Who were they who He was speaking to? His disciples of course! But Yeshua was talking to His disciples about the future as if they would experience the future end too within 2000 years?! Why? Because some of them would return and make part of the end of that age.

Isaiah 26: 20-21,(read whole chapter!)

15 “Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.

16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.

17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.

18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.

19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

 

 

Hosea 13:

God's Mercy

9” O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.

10 I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?

 

Acts 2:

17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.”

 

This is a revival of Israel’s sons (the elect) during the end times.

​

 BUT the son can also refer to the selected saints (those before the notional zero or BCE saints) of Christ's elect saved after the day of the cross! For this explaination read page 'Who are the 144 000 sealed ones...'

About the Rev 12 sign in the past. ?! 

​

Did this sign ever appeared before 2017 September 23?

Apparently about 3914 BCE, which as some claim announced the beginning of man, or Adam and Eve cast out of Heaven, while the 2017 Rev 12 sign announces the beginning of the end to come! But is this claim reliable? Was this event ever recorded? I didn't find anything about it, so it remains only a speculation or assumption because dates doesn't match with the real divine time of beginnings.

 

At the other hand, Early writings claim about 5500 years until the Savior would appear! Books of Adam and Eve, and Gospel of Nicodemus are telling us something else and so does also some Qum'ran scrolls talking about "150 years must be fulfilled then the end comes."

150 x 50 jubilee = 7500 years since creation: 5500 + 2018 = about 7518 years, not taking into account that God determined 360 days for a year. Thus, the end is near!  more on The Ages of God's creation timeline.

Yeshua told his disciples that He would return soon! Soon?! He said that 2000 years ago! This means that He spoke about the end times as being the era in which they lived then, and that was the age of Pisces that will end by 2160 AD. Thus that generation of the age of Pisces would not pass away until all is fulfilled. The question is: when will He return; at the end of this age or before the end of this age of Pisces in which we today are still living? !

​

Important note: do not make nor invent your own end-time theories because it will be as it is written and it will be no different!
