When manifestation comes, the prophetic is no longer necessary. I was given the Word “Now is the time!” in recent years and was led to write about it. I have been in earnest expectation of a major change since the mid-1990’s and at every turn I would look for HIS indication of the manifestation coming forth. Twenty-one years ago I saw great miracles and salvation take place in the small villages of Romania and I received a taste of HIS power and authority but it was not yet time for its fullness. The progression continued but we all know that the fullness of time has not yet arrived. The maturing process of the Sons is not done in a light manner for the entire earth is awaiting the completion of their perfecting.
We have now seen the processing of the seven trumpets and how they apply to the internal maturing of the elect and that when we view the fifth Gospel as a book of Love, our entire perspective changes. What was preached to us as utter destruction have been changed into Good News. There will be those who critique my understanding of various details but I would submit that if they fully understood all facets of this last book, we would be sitting at their feet awaiting the next words coming from the mouths. Only Our Lord Jesus Christ was 100% infallible in every word He spoke. My goal is to convey the Spiritual reality I see in words that those with ears to hear can understand. I have no interest in impressing you with some sophisticated, hard to understand, superior rhetoric. I simply want to look at the words that the Beloved Disciple used to describe a book of mysteries originating out of the highest Spiritual realm. Look beyond any details that may appear to be off with eyes of forgiveness so that you can grasp the essence of the beauty. Don’t be distracted by any apparent inaccuracy and miss the point. When I see a rose, I look beyond its imperfections and behold its beauty. Let’s all do the same as I continue with this focus on the Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus used many parables to convey the same Spiritual Truth. He would speak about a Truth from one vantage point and then go to another so that any could comprehend the Truth if they had eyes to see. Once we see a Truth from a myriad of views, we gain a mature understanding. It is no different in the fifth Gospel, the book of Love. We have proceeded from the midst of the Temple to a woman with child, both present different facets of the same Truth.
Revelation 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Life began for the child nine months before birth but the manifestation is a result of the maturing process being completed in the womb. Each part of this body needed to be enveloped in a protective cocoon until it was sufficiently formed to be functional and operational. The child was hidden away and protected so that it could fully mature without being exposed to the harsh elements that would prevent its maturing process. This woman is in Heaven clothed with the glory of the sun and this particular manchild would rule the nations with a rod of iron.
The first verse begins with “A great sign appeared in heaven”. This great sign is in the Spiritual, not the physical thus we need to set aside all of the physical signs men point to as an indication of the imminent arrival of Christ. I have been hearing of these “imminent” signs personally for 43 years, none came to pass. After they failed to materialize, the prognosticator would then look for some obscure caveat to push the arrival further out. Jesus dealt with this blindness to the Spiritual when He confronted the Pharisees:
Matthew 16:1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’;
3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
All the signs mentioned in the book of Revelation are seen in Heaven, not on earth in the physical… Think about it. The great sign of this woman is a prophetic sign of the birth of the manchild and “She” is of a great and glorious appearance for she is clothed with the sun, a Divine illumination originating from her and the moon that reflects light is at her feet yet she is in travail and distress for she is pregnant with child. This manchild is the answer to the restoration of all mankind. Paul eluded to this Truth in 1 Timothy chapter 2:
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
This word saved is the Greek word “sozo” meaning to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction, to be delivered from judgment. The purpose of the manchild is to bring forth many sons as the Body of Christ for the deliverance of all mankind. Only after their processing through the seven trumpets are they able to come forth and be fully birthed to fulfill their function. This great sign of childbirth is our assurance that the maturing process in the womb is fulfilled.
