Yes, "the male child" is Jesus. and, "a male child" is Joseph, son of Jacob. and the 12 stars represent the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel).

Yes, I agree with this. The resurrection of Jesus and these 144K first fruits (plus the 24 elders) sealed the defeat over Satan and over death. This occured in the 1st century AD. After Satan's defeat at this time he became Angry and Furious (Rev 12:12-17) like never before (Rev 12:1-7) and...

e My current opinions: The 144,000 were those saved out of the 7 year tribulation of the First Roman-Jewish War 66AD-73AD. The 24 elders contain some of the apostles and first martyrs such as maybe Steven. For they (the 24 elders) conquered Satan by the blood of the Lamb and the words...

What I see from Mainline Protestant denominations is that they are still followers of the Catholic Church. Period. I would strongly discourage believers from taking part in the practice of putting Ashes on your Forehead or Right hand! Why submit to practices that are pseudo-Old Testament such...

Before you can take the small piece of debris out of your brothers eye you must first remove the large piece of debris out of your own eye. If you want to understand true Christianity seek to know God through his Word. But even before doing this you have to humble yourself. You do not sound...

To make a believer waiver in their faith is to bring encouragement to one who lacks faith. Are you seeking to refute God? Or Are you seeking to find God?

What we already know: 1) We know that the Israelites after being saved by going underneath the waters of the Red Sea and and coming back out (a symbol of baptism) spent 40 years in the wilderness. 2) We know that Jesus after being being baptized (going underneath the waters of the Jordan and...

Interpretation of Revelation 12:13-17 Verse 13: “[The Dragon] pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.” Does Rev 12 speak of one woman or of two different women? Here there is a clear distinction from the first woman who gave "birth to a male child' and the second woman who...

Gotta Love Proverbs Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.

Thanks! That's why I asked. It can be so easy to mishear the word.

Would you please explain your interpretation of Revelation Chapter 12? I wish not to start a new debate. I have nothing to add, I just want clarity and understanding for myself. Thank you.

Doesn't scripture permit divorce if the spouse cannot or refuses to procreate?

Interpretation of Revelation 12:1-6 Verse 1: "Woman clothed with sun, with moon under feet" = Joseph's Dream Verse 1: "crown of 12 stars on her head" = Jacob's 12 sons Verse 2: "she was pregnant and cried out in birthing pains" = Jacob's wife Rachel giving birth to Benjamin Verse 3...

You have to choose God over everyone else - even you family. You have to trust God's judgement over your own. It is not for you to judge God. Look what Jesus said about his own earthly family in Luke 8:20-23. "Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach...

Could the Book of Revelation contain one of the pieces needed for solving this 430 yr puzzle? Revelation: a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way. The Book of Revelation, as it is called, should contain previously unknown facts that are...

Exodus 12:40 tells us the Israelites spent a 430 yr period in Egypt. Exodus 12:41 seems to tell us that the Exodus occurred on the very last 24h day of the 430 yr period. But this cannot be the case, because if it is the case then there is contradiction in scripture. The bible is a book of...

The two most prevalent theories are the 430 yrs and 215 yrs in Egypt: - The 430 Theory says the 430 yrs begins with Jacob's (Israel's) entry into Egypt (Exodus 12:40). - The 215 yr theory says the 430 yrs begins with God's Covenant with Abraham (Gal. 3:17). Both of these theories pit Exodus...

So your answer is: D) 215 yrs
