Many desperate came to me and told me they need a bible school and they need it now The Holy Spirit and I had already been working on one so we started a test run and soon many more wanted it - the ones doing it right now are studying the book of Revelation by the way thats the hardest one and Genesis in particular chapter 32 I think where Jacob Wrestles with the angel and His name is changed to israel this fits with Rev 12 and Rev 2 and 3 the overcomer I have been asked to as we are close to closing this book as a bible school and not revisit it for a few years (When You do again it will be so much easier and You will get so much out of it) to share a bit about Revelation Revelations almosts works 1-11 and repeating 12-22 almost but more it is like a box of photos strewn on the floor depicting different events - the key is the Bible interprets itself a woman in the NT refers to the church therefore in Rev that is not going to change and become Israel Rev is written by John who was on teh isle of patmos after they tried to boil him in oil he wouldnt die so they poked his eyes out and left them exiled during that time His best Friend Jesus visits him and and instead of having tea and cookies John encounters teh Living God Jesus as Alpha and Omega in the greek its written like someone on a drug trip like his mind is being blown -Im melting the walls are breathing - He can barely scrabble on paper what He is seeing it is so blowing his grid the guy is tripped out Jesus tells him about the 7 churches - 7 the number of completion - its speaks of 7 kinds of churches around right now - its speaks of the 7 church ages the last being laodecia ours to each church Jesus reveals to them taht he is just what they need - he tailors who he is to each church your hurting your beatup up but i am this too you 2 is the number of witness - again scripture will interpret scripture Deu 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established 2Co 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. so what are the symbols satans starts out a snake in genesis in revelation hes grown into a dragon Rev 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: Rev 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Rev 2:28 And I will give him the morning star. Rev 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. now notice Rev 12:1 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: Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. Rev 12:3 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. Rev 12:4 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. Rev 12:5 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. Rev 12:6 And 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. Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:10 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. Rev 12:5 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. we already see the overcomer in Rev 2 why would it be different in 12 it wouldnt Reading books most of the books are wrong and this is why - many are willing to fight to death about their view their is 4 kinds one is symbolic - their is truth to this one is historic the events all ready happened their is truth to that as well the 4th is called futuristic that is like most evangelical church is raptured antichrist comes and kills jews and tribulation Saints there is truth to this as well the problem is some are so taken with traditions they are worthless unless they really stick to scriptures there is levels of this some really get the symbols but do away with the real like the jewish people have nothing to do with the endtime scenario they have a major part and if you dont understand romans 11 you will not understand it and You will distort it most leaders dont dare touch this book so have you heard the story of the blind men feeling the elephant and one says they have a body like a snake anoth one says it is like a palm leaf anothe like a table leg
they were all touching the elephant just not the whole thing
so some see the symbols and nail them others the wars and lands and futuristic events others the historic events foreshadowed for instance in the book of Daniel it tells about about a future world ruler who would bring a false peace one did come antiochus who partially fullfilled that prophecy the historicist would say he fullfilled it so the best i would recommend for books is James mckeever , Jim Spillman, Dan juster keith intraters trilogy Robert Thompson Marv Rosenthal one group that really has a amazing take on it right now is IHOP and Mike Bickle here is a link to all Robert Thompsons books free he is an amazing scholar http://wor.org/booksmain.htm I dont know if he understands the Jewish component |
