Can You See It?!

Like pieces to a puzzle, a piece here.. a piece there.. is Bible prophecy..
- Do you remember all the Frat Movies in the 70's? All the "drink til you drop" and "see the breasts" movies? (And college students attending classes in a sleepy state, just right for thought shaping, but that's another topic!)
- The Book of Revelation (Apocalypse) 12:(14)15 - 

(Revelation 12:14

New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁴ "But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.")

Revelation 12:15

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹⁵ "And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood."

- There is a key here to unlock part of the Revelation/Apocalypse prophecy message. In verse 14, insert "sail" for fly. (She was supposed to bond with the peaceful inhabitants of the land.)

- Then add 350 (modern time, times and half a time) to 1620. A proliferation/flood unleashed.

- Also, as a valuable cross-reference:

Revelation 12:17

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁷ "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and" (insert here 'by this time') "have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

The first verse of this chapter "a woman with the moon under her feet and twelve stars circling her head" is Israel who birthed the Son of Man (verse 2) and the dragon (verse 4, in the person of Herod) tried to destroy the "man child" as soon as he was born, is Israel, but later, in the verses, the mantle of truth passed to "the church" (unseen / not buildings / spiritual). It is she who was given the wings of an eagle.
- Can you see it?

Opposites!

Mark 6:1-3,5 (New King James Version)
- "1 Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. 2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands! 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us? So they were offended at Him. ....5 Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them."

Mark 4:37-39,41 (New King James Version)
- "37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. ....41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

- (Darby Translation)
"Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

The Spirit of Truth

It's not trying to make the Bible fit a vision (idea or teaching) but seeing if it fits the Bible.

Seven Winds Part 1

When the Seventh Seal is activated, there will be a great earthquake - Rev 8:1-5
- Trumpet # 1 is the re-Opening of atomic warfare (an Israeli preemptive strike?) - atomic warfare opened, Rev 6:12-17, a blend of Opening and full maturity/gallop with Rev 13:13 (an office); plus 7:1 & 8:7!
- Trumpet # 2, very large riots and degrees of anarchy? and one third of all existing, at the time, trade and commerce, is destroyed - Rev 8:8,9
- Trumpet # 3, one third of all water is undrinkable, an offshoot of Trumpet One - Rev 8:10,11
- Trumpet # 4, Joel's dry and smoky day, offshoot of both Trumpet One and Two - Rev 8:12; Rev chapter 12 (one of four inserts) verse 16; Joel 2 and see Rev 9:3
Revelation 8:13 - ^"And I saw, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to them that dwell upon the earth, for the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound..."

The Apocalypse Vision

The Book of Revelation/Apocalypse is not all future. The vision of the future is in the scroll which is seen and opened in chapter five. The vision of a door opening into the heavens in chapter four is current to the time when John received the vision, but often, I think it is interpreted as being a part of the vision of the future.. The scroll opens and begins from that current (time) point, "and I saw the Lamb open the first of seven seals.."

Discipleship

Luke 9:1 says "Jesus called together His twelve apostles and gave them complete power over all demons and diseases.." Which is how it reads in the bible version I'm reading right now. I was wondering if the original Greek word used here was "apostle" or "disciple" (because to me apostle means teacher and disciple means follower and student). It wasn't that easy however! For starting with the Greek concordance, I looked up "apostle" and found it was not used in Luke 9:1, but when I looked up "disciple" I found that wasn't used either(!) What was written originally was "And having called together the twelve he gave them power and authority over all the demons and diseases to heal.." (from the "Interlinear NASB-NIV Parallel New Testament in Greek and English"). I then thought to myself that "the twelve" is likely closer to "apostle" then "disciple". It's important because I presently know three people battling stage four cancers.
- All in all, I decided, I will continue my prayers and encouragement to them, because "apostle" or "disciple" Jesus said many times things like "what ever things you desire, when you pray, believe you have them and you shall have them.." and "where two or more agree in prayer as touching anything upon earth, my Father in heaven will hear them and give it to them.." (Well, these are paraphrased from my memory.. which is faulty at best and getting worse as I get older! But you get my drift I hope..)
- However, and in addition, when I went back to the concordance (Strong's Exhaustive) I found that apostle means "messenger" and "sent out"(one).. (And "disciple" is "learner, instructed one".)

From Where Come Wars and Quarrels Among You ? (James 4:1)

Jesus asked "What were you arguing about on the way?" They were quiet, saying nothing because they had been arguing over which of them was the greatest. Jesus said whoever wants to be first must be last and be as a servant to others. ...Everyone will be salted with (the cleansing) fire, salt is good but if it loses its saltiness what good is it? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another." - Mark 9:33,34,49

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" - 1 Peter 1:3

THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Luke 3

21 - "Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened

Psalm 2

7 - "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You" - #3205 in Strong's "yalad" "made you apparent".

Mark 9

1 - The Transfiguration - "And Jesus was saying to them - Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the KINGDOM of God after it has come with power"

2 - (and) "six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them

3 - and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them....

7 - then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!" (Margin: "or give constant heed to Him".)

8 - All at once they looked around and saw no one with them anymore - except Jesus alone."
