Revelation 12

Revelations 12 is a very brief overview of the history of God’s Church covering thousands of years. It starts way back near the beginning (of the Church), but after the flood and reflects Joseph’s dream where eleven stars bowed down to him. .{Genesis 37: 9-10} There were actually twelve stars because Joseph himself was one of those stars and the other eleven stars represented his brothers who happen to be the father’s of the twelve tribes of Israel including Joseph. Actually, Joseph’s name is not listed in the tribes of Israel in either Numbers 1 or Revelation 7, but is replaced by his two sons Manasseh and Benjamin. The number twelve represents the organization of God’s Church. First we had the twelve tribes of Israel and after Jesus Crusifiction we have the twelve Apostles. Is it any wonder that the 12th chapter of Revelations is depicting the Church? A Woman Represents the Church in the Bible Revelation 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: In Bible Prophesy a Woman Represents the Church.

The Latter Rain

So it may be now. Let Christians put away all dissension and five themselves to God for the saving of the lost. Let them ask in faith for the promised blessing, and it will come. The outpouring of the Spirit in the days of the apostles was “the former rain,” and glorious was the result. But the latter rain will be more abundant. What is the promise to those living in these last days? “Turn you to the stronghold, ye prosoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee.” “Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.” Zechariah 9: 12; 10: 1. {8T 21.2}

All the Messages from 1840 through 1844

What are “All the Messages from 1840 through 1844.” Well the answer would be that basically they are the “The Three Angel Messages” of Revelation 14. In general The Three Angel Messages and the Sanctuary Message are contained in the 1843 and 1850 charts. So you could almost say the The Three Angels Messages, the Sanctuary Message and the 1844 and 1850 charts are all one and the same thing. That would be kind of similar to the fact that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are one. This is not the introduction of a new doctrine, but It’s just to say they are similar in the fact that it’s three different aspects of basically one and the same thing. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are so much of one that they are in fact one, for as the scripture says, “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:” {Deut. 6:4} Yet we know for a fact the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit are three persons. God has not revealed all to humanity and the nature of God is one of the things that is still beyond our understanding. The point is that Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are three persons, yet they are so close and have such a … Continued
