Revelation 12:5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
The dragon awaited the birth of the manchild who is to bring forth Truth in order that this Truth would once again be perverted into another religious movement infiltrated with lies and selfish motivations. It worked in the past centuries and the dragon is expecting it to work again thus making it a greater power in the world. This time it is different for the woman’s Child is caught up to GOD and His throne. This is the Life-giving Truth that will not be devoured by the the father of lies.
We are told the tail of the dragon is used to cast down a third part of the stars to earth and Isaiah 9:15 divulges that this tail represents lies from a false prophet:
“The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.”
This is exactly why I urge each one of us to pursue and hear Our Heavenly Father’s Voice individually and not count on others as the primary source of Truth. The father of lies would have you believe you are not qualified and unable to directly communicate with FATHER. What a lie! Jesus made it very plain in John chapter 10 that we can and do hear His Voice:
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
30 I and My Father are one.”
Jesus made these statements in the midst of Hanukkah. This year the Feast of Dedication concluded its eight day celebration on the night of Christmas Eve, corresponding to the conception of Jesus in 2 B.C. Could this be the time of the manifestation of the Sons? We will surely know it as it occurs.
Stars signify Divine Truths well as those messengers who walk in the light of those truths who proclaim them. They emanate light rather than reflecting it as a moon yet they are dragged down to a lower level and perverted by self-motivation. They have been perverted by mixing them with lies brought on by “self” exaltation. The carnal man is able to receive these half-truths and follow them as a religion. This is extremely dangerous to those who are called and can cause them to be separated from those who are then chosen. With all diligence, we must hear FATHER’S Voice for ourselves if we are to be included in the initial squadron to be “caught up” to FATHER and HIS Throne and be a part of those who are called to deliver mankind from the bondage of corruption. Surely by now, each of us can detect that little “check” in our spirit when we read or hear someone speak or prophesy in HIS Name. That is the HOLY SPIRIT indicating that there is some form of corruption in what is being said. These messengers who are cast down progressively focus on the earthly realm rather than the highest realm of the Gospel, or good news. The earth isn’t on its last leg but instead is being readied for the greatest impact ever seen and experienced by mankind. The perversion will give way to the rod of iron and revealed for what it is. The Love of FATHER will be shed abroad for all men to see the standard by which they will be judged. This will be the time of great restoration, not the final destruction as taught by those who have been cast down to earth.
Carnal Christians follow and support carnal teaching, that is the reality. They will support what their souls crave. Those who hunger and thirst after righteousness ascend toward the Heavenlies. Their time, resources, and actions support their focus as well. One group is caught up to Heaven and the other group is cast down to the earth. In Revelation chapter 12, we can see the distinction between the two groups:
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them!
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Many are called but few are chosen. Those who are chosen know verse 12 all too well.
