Phase 12 of 12

    Revelation, is the Revelation of Jesus Christ!   
It is NOT the Revelation of the antichrist! The antichrist is PART OF the Book of Revelation, but should NOT be our focus of attention. Most Christians know about the mark of the beast, (antichrist Rev.13:17) but how many know about "the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil.3:14) Many know about the image of the beast (antichrist Rev.13:14-18), but how many know that the Church is to be conformed to the image of Christ. (Rom.8:29, 2Cor.3:18, Eph.4:11-16, 1John.3:2) Many know that there will be false prophets in the last day, (Matt.24:11), but how many know that God has given true prophets to the Church. (Eph.4:11-16, 1Cor.12:28-29) Some even allow the antichrist to have his false prophet that does miracles,(Rev.19:20;13:11-15 but say there no prophets or miracles (1Cor.12:28) today in the Church. Even some say that Christ is not Deity (i.e. God manifest in the flesh 1Tim.3:16), yet they teach that the antichrist will portray himself as Deity. (2Thes.2:4) It should be noted here that, the antichrist is counterfeiting everything that the Lord Jesus Christ is. This should be no surprise! (2Cor.11:14-15, 2Thes.2:4, Isa.14:12-15)
This 12 phase series intends to give The Lord Jesus Christ preeminence in ALL THINGS including the Book of Revelation! (Col.1:15-19)                         

     Beginning with the first seal / The White Horse rider (Rev.6:1-2)                                                                 
This first seal begins the order of events in the Book of Revelation. (Review Phase 10) This first seal, is a white horse rider, having a bow, and a crown given unto him, going forth to conquering and to conquer. (Rev.6:2) 
I.   Note the symbolic language
     The other seals are not clothed in a mystery, as the first and seventh seal are. This is because they
     are to do with the mystery of God. (1Cor.4:1, 1Cor.2:7, Eph.3:9; 5:32; 6:19, Col.1:26 / Rom.10:17, 
     1Tim.3:9.16. The Church, the Kingdom of God / heaven) The disciples asked Jesus, "Why speakest thou 
     unto them in parables?" Jesus said, "Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
     heaven, but not unto them. (Matt.13:10-11) It was a mystery to "His own" (John.1:11 / the Jews) because
     they had been unfaithful to keep God's Word (Rom.9:1-6) and their eyes had become blind and their ears
     dull of hearing.(Matt.13:10-17, Matt.25:14-30 / Note:v.29 with Matt.13:12)
     A warning to us today! (Heb.5:10-14)
II. The first seal was a white horse rider going forth to conquer (Rev.6:1-2)
     A. A horse is a symbol of strength. (2 Kings.2:11; 6:15-18, Exod.15:1, Isa.31:1-3, Eccl.10:7)
     B. White is a symbol of righteousness. (Rev.19:7-8, Rev.2:17, Rev.20:11, 2 Cor.11:14)
         Note: There is a school of thought that believes this white horse rider is the antichrist, because he
         can transform himself as an angel of light. (2Cor.11:14) However, this white horse rider cannot be the
         antichrist, because he is not revealed until all the seven seals are opened, (Rev.6:1-17; 8:1-12)
         and the first four trumpets sound. (Review Phase 10)
     C.  He that sat on the white had a bow. The bow is the Word of God. (Hab.3:8-8, Psa.45:4-5 / Psa.64:3
         Note: The Feast of Tabernacles was a teaching feast. (Deut.31:9-13, Neh.8:2)  which is being
         fulfilled during this time of the seals.(Review Phase 11)
     D. And to him was given a crown and he went forth conquering unto conquer. A crown speaks of 
         ruling,  reigning, authority. (John.19:1-2, 1Cor.9:25, 2Kings.11:12, 1Chron.20:1-2) 
         Note: While Solomon was building the Temple, the enemy had been conquered, to 
         allow the House to be built, which was dedicated in the Feast of Tabernacle, the day of 
         atonement, the seventh seal. More notes to come ............
      This first seal is the last great harvest /in gathering. (Review Phase 11) Why is it a great harvest?
         1.The type (i.e. model, the shadow) calls for a harvest and accompanying rain before 
            "the day" of Atonement (the seventh seal) is finished. (Lev.23:39-44, James.5:7-8)   
             (Review Phase 11)
         2. This great harvest is the fruit harvest. The grapes (wine) and the Olives (oil). It is no surprise
             that during the third seal (famine), the oil and the wine were protected. (Think, Goshen. Exod.4-11)
         3. More notes to come.......

         To Summarize: He that sat on the white horse went forth with strength, conquering unto conquer 
         with authority to rule with the Word of God in holiness, righteousness and power. This is revival, 
         the last great harvest before the marriage. A time of going into the highways and by ways, gathering
         the halt, the lame and the blind to the Wedding. (Christ and His Bride, The Church) Matt.22:1-14, 
         Luke.14:15-24. This is the Latter rain and fruit harvest foreshadowed by the Feast of Tabernacles.

         Note: This seal opens and stays open until all the seals (war, famine, death, martyrs, and 
         earthquakes) have been opened, because there is no mention of it closing. This means the Church 
         has not yet been "caught up" (1Thes.4:13-18) to meet the Lord in the air. (Review Phase 10.
         Jesus does not return until the seventh trumpet sounds. The seventh trumpet does NOT sound 
         until all the seals and other six trumpets have sounded) Instead, God is protecting her,
         as He did with Israel in the Land of Goshen, (Exod.5-12) in order to gather in that last great harvest.
         Some say, God has not appointed us to wrath, (1Thes.5:9) how can we be left on this earth while
         there is trouble? This "wrath" is referring to God's judgement for our sin, not keeping us from 
          out of trouble. (Psa.91:7-10, Mark.16:18) More notes to come................... 

     The Seventh Seal and silence in heaven for half an hour (Rev.8:1-4)                                                            
The seventh seal has already been explained why it is the Wedding. There is no need to duplicate these notes. (Review Phase 11)   

     The Revelation twelve Woman, Man child and War in heaven (Rev.12:1-17)                                               
The Woman in Revelation 12 is a pivotal event in all the Book of Revelation. She is the married Bride of Christ about to complete (fulfill) the promise God made to the first Adam and his wife Eve. (Gen.3:15, Eph.5:21-33) The seed of the Woman would crush the serpents head. (Rom.16:20) It should be noted that there is another woman that is also that is a counterfeit of God's Woman. (Rev.17)
I.  These two woman are future because they are after John, they are part of "things that must be hereafter.  
     Therefore, it is a mistake to interpret these two woman to be referring to anything before John.
     Remember Revelation is in three parts. John was told,
     A. Write the things that you see. (Rev.1)
     B.  And the things which are. (Rev.2-3)
     C.  And the things that must be hereafter (future) Rev.4-22)
II. These two women are two Churches. One is God's Church, (Rev.12) and the other is an
     apostate Church. (Rev.17) Satan's counterfeit Church, his false Bride. (Note: Isa.14:14 "I will be
     like the Most High...") Why are they Churches?
     A. The Lord Jesus Christ is the bridegroom, the God-man / Deity. The Son of God. The apostle Paul 
         draws from the type (figure) of Adam and Eve. (Eph.5:21-33, 2Cor.11:1-3) Eve, the woman is 
         the Church, and the Bridegroom is the man, The Lord Jesus Christ. In the "Church in the wilderness"
         Israel was referred to as the woman, (the wife) and God the husband. (Acts.7:37-38, Jer.3:6-8
         Jer.31:31-32, The book of Hosea)
     B. The antichrist is "another Jesus" (2Cor.11:1-4) the man of sin (2Thes.2:3) the son of perdition, 
         showing himself to be God. Except his bride is a fornicator, masquerading (camouflaged) as a bride.
III. The identification of the Revelation 12 Woman as the Bride
     A. There appeared a great wonder in heaven. (Rev.12:1) She is in heaven, yet she is still on this earth.
         (Rev.12:14) Two places at the same time. Today, we are "in heavenly places," yet still on this
         natural earth. (Eph.1:3; 2:6; 6:12, Col.3:1-3)
     B. The Rev.12 Woman is clothed with the sun. (Rev.12:1) This is God's glory.(Gen.1:14-18, Pas.19:1-3, 
         Rom.1:20, Rev.21:23, Psa.84:11, Josh.10:13. Matt.17:1-5, Exod.34:29-35 / 2Cor.3:7-18)   
         She had none of man's traditions, vain deceit, philosophy or the rudiments of the world as her "fig leaf"
         (Gen.3:10) covering.(Gen.2:25; 3:10-11, Heb.4:13)
     C. The moon was under her feet. (Rev.12:1) The moon signifies The Lord Jesus Christ. (Gen.1:14-18,
         Psa.19:1-3, Rom.1:20, Gen.1:16 / Phil.2:7, Acts.2:20) Signifying the solid foundation, supported
         directed and established in the redemption of Christ. Feet speaks of our walk, the pathway,
         our direction, lifestyle. (Psa.66:9, Eccl.5:1, Prov.4:26, Eph.4:1; 6:15, Heb.12:13)
     D. A crown of 12 stars upon her head. (Rev.12:1) Stars point to individuals, ministry, and leaders.
         (Gen.15:5, Gal.3:29, Jude.1:13)
         1. A crown of 12 stars. A Crown points to authority, power, ruling. (Esther.2:17,         
             2 Kings.11:12, 2Sam.12:26-31)
         2. Twelve stars upon her head. Twelve is apostolic authority, governing, directional.(Gen.49:28,
             Exod.28:21, Matt.10:2, Josh.4:1-3,8-9,20-24, Ezra.6:17)
         3. The head is the control, the headquarters. The apostle Paul compared the Church to a human
             body. (1Cor.12, Gen.1:26-27)
     E. This Godly (Rev.12:17) woman is with child and is crying and travailing in birth. (Rev.12:2) 
           This identifies her as a married woman   As in the example of Mary and Joseph, she
         was with child of the Holy Ghost, but did not give birth until after they were married. (Matt.1:18-25)
         The only future marriage of the Church, is the marriage of Christ and the Church. 
         Note: Some think this "man child" is Jesus because he rules the nations with a rod of iron. (Rev.12:5,
         Rev.19:15) However this description is not exclusive to Jesus, it is also a promise to the over comers
         in the Church. (Rev.2:27) Remember this "must be hereafter," the man child has NOT be born yet!
            (Rev.4:1)
     ___________________________________________________________________________________

     A Summary of the Rev.12 Woman.
      She is the married bride of Christ, a "glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing...
     holy and without blemish." (Eph.5:27,33) Her foundation, redemption and direction is in her husband,
     the Lord Jesus Christ, (Eph.5:21-33) through the apostolic ministry. (Eph.4:11-16) Compare this with
     the Rev.17 Woman, the apostate bride / Church sitting on the antichrist / beast / anti-apostle
     (Heb.3:1) with his false prophet. (A counterfeit of Eph.2:20-22)

IV. Who is the man child of Revelation?
      The man child is the fruit, the end result, the product of the marriage of the "last Adam" (Jesus) and 
     His Bride. (Eve) Review "welcome to my website, and Phase two. 
       The man child is the purpose for the marriage   (Gen.1:27-28) because he is "the seed of
       the Woman" that crushes the serpents head. (Rev.12-13, Gen.3:15, Rom.16:20) The promise was
     made to the first Adam and his wife, and now this promise is fulfilled (completed) by the last Adam
     (Jesus 1Cor.15:45) and His wife, the Church, the Bride. Note the description of the man child.
     A. The man child is the fruit of the marriage of Christ and His Church, which "is one and hath many  
         members,"(1Cor.12:12) the man child is also one and hath many members. 
     B. There appeared "another wonder in heaven;...a great red dragon (the Devil, Satan, the old serpent
         (Rev.12:9) standing in heavenly places. (Eph.6:12, Job.1:6-7) Note: Lucifer lost his position as the
         "anointed cherub that covereth," and was cast out of the mountain of God when "iniquity was found in 
         (him)" (Ezk.28:15) However, he still has access to accuse us (i.e. brethren / Church) before God
         day and night.(Rev.12:10)
     C.  The dragon (Satan) stands before the woman (The Bride) waiting to devour the man child as soon as
         he is born. (Rev.12:4) At this moment, he is not concerned about the Woman / Bride, but with the
         child that was to be born, because this man child is instrumental in removing Satan from his access
         in heavenly places. This will be that ultimate fulfillment of the seed of the woman crushing the
         serpents head. (Gen.3:15)
     D. The man child is caught up to God's throne, as soon as it was born. (Rev.4-5) This is another
         reason why Jesus cannot be the "man child." (1) When Jesus was born it was two years (Matt.2:1-18)
         before the wise men arrived to see Jesus. (2) After the visit from the wise men Mary and Joseph
         went down into Egypt. (3) Jesus did not ascend unto the throne of God until He was thirty three and
         a half years old.
     E.  There is War in heaven. Michael fought against the dragon, he is defeated and cast out of heaven.
         (Rev.12:5-12) This is where Satan looses his access to heavenly places. He has already lost his
         position as the anointed cherub, now he is restricted to the earth. Note:The direct connection
         between the man child being born, caught up and War in  Heaven,

         This is the purpose (goal, intent) that God has had from the "beginning of the world." (Eph.3:1-12)  
        "to the intent (purpose) that now unto principalities and powers in heavenly places might be 
         made known by the Church (Bride) the manifold wisdom of God, (man child) according to the
         eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Eph.3:10-11)

      F.  Then the dragon persecuted the woman. (Rev.12:13) Now that the Devil has lost his position and
         access, he turns on the Woman (the married Bride of Christ) that caused this.
    G.  Then the woman is given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness for three and a half 
         years while the dragon reconciles the world unto himself through his man of sin, the antichrist for
         three and a half years.(Rev.12:13-16) God has already modeled (drew a blueprint) of how He will
         do this in the "ensample" of the children of Israel, (1Cor.10:1-11, Exod.19:4) when He
         brought them out "on eagle's wings." Note the parallels. 
         1. Israel (the Church in the wilderness Acts.7:38) was protected, while among the plagues of
             Egypt. (Exod.4-12) The Church will be protected while among the judgements of the seals.
             Note: Noah was preserved in the Ark (Gen.7-8) which was among the judgement of God because 
             he was not appointed to wrath.(1Thes.5:9) That is why God forewarned him to build an Ark!)
         2. Israel was held in bondage to Pharaoh before they were released. The Rev.12 Woman is
             persecuted by the dragon before she is released, or given two wings of a great eagle to fly
             into the wilderness. (Rev.12:13-14) 
         3. Pharaoh and his army came after Israel to bring them back to Egypt but were swallowed up by 
             the Red Sea.(Exod.13-15) The dragon cast out of his mouth a flood (ungodly armies 2Sam.22:5,
             Psa.18:4, Dan.9:26 / Luke.21:20-24) to destroy the Woman, but the earth helped the Woman and 
             swallowed up the flood. (Rev.12:16)     
    H.  Then the dragon makes war with the remnant (the remaining) of her seed. (Rev.12:17)
           This is the fulfillment of Dan.7:25. The little horn shall wear out the saints of the most High for 
         "time, times and dividing of times." (Three and a half years. Rev.11:2-3: 12:6,14: 13:5)
         (Review Phase 5)

     The Rev.12 Woman (The Bride) are those that are alive and remain when Jesus returns                   
There will be a people that are alive and remain at the coming of the Lord.(1Thes.4:13-18) Look at the
example of Noah. (Matt.24:36-39) Only those that were in the Ark "remained alive" (Gen.7:23)
The reason this woman is that people group, is because she is protected from the dragon (Satan) the beast
(the antichrist) and the other beast (the false prophet) during their power to continue 42 months.
(Rev.12:6,14; 13:5) The saints that go into the Tribulation all die for this testimony. (Rev.12:11; 13:15) Nebuchadnezzar's image is a picture of the time of the antichrist. (Dan.3:1-25)            


         Remember, these are "things not as seen yet"
         TODAY God is warning the Church as He did Noah of  things not as seen yet." He is warning the
         Church to be moved with Godly fear to prepare an ark (i.e. build according to God's patterns, 
         in His Word) to the saving of our house.(Heb.11:7) Once the floods came, there was no building!
          __________________________________________________________________________________

         Think on this. In order to have a man child, there needs to be the marriage of Christ and the
         Church. (God's order requires marriage before children)  In order to have the marriage, the Church
          must come to "the unity of the faith...unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of
          the fullness of Christ." (Christ cannot marry anyone less than Himself. He would be unequally yoked)
          In order to come unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, the Church must receive the
          apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher, because these ministries are the ONLY
          ones designated to make the "espoused"(i.e. engaged) Church ready for marriage.
          This is where we are today!
