THE GREAT SIGN IN HEAVEN - WOMAN IN LABOR - PART II

The BIGGEST Topic in Bible

Prophecy ... HERE IS WHY!! 

Revelation 12 | September 23, 2017 ~Scott Clarke

STUDY NOTES:

Revelation 12:1-2 (AMP)  The Woman - Israel - Astronomically Sept. 23, 2017

And a great sign [warning of an ominous and frightening future event] appeared in heaven: a [a]woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.  She was with child (the Messiah) and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.  Feast of Trumpets 5777/2017

Revelation 2:26-27 (AMP)  Iron Rod given to the Body of Messiah (the Church)

And he who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] and he who keeps My deeds [doing things that please Me] until the [very] end, to him I will give authority and power over the nations;  and he shall shepherd and rule them with a rod of iron, as the earthen pots are broken in pieces, as I also have received authority [and power to rule them] from My Father;

Revelation 12:5 (AMP)  Child caught up (harpazo = rapture)- snatched out of the way.  And she gave birth to a Son, a male Child, who is destined to rule (shepherd) all the nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was [a]caught up to God and to His throne.

Acts 2:1-4 (AMP) Body of Messiah (Church) Conceived by incorruptible seed.  Conception of the Church.  When the day of [a]Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit].  And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other [b]tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].
Matt. 1:18,20-23; Luke 1:31&35; John 6:63; Acts 2:1-4

Isaiah 66:9  (AMP)  The Baby is delivered!  We are going to be born. 

“Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord.

“Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God.

Jeremiah 3:8  (AMP) YHWH Divorced His Wife, Israel

And I saw [that even though Judah knew] that for all the acts of adultery (idolatry) of faithless Israel, I [the Lord] had [a]sent her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet her treacherous sister [b]Judah was not afraid; but she went and was a prostitute also [following after idols].

Micah 5:1-3  (AMP)  Prophecied Messiah Rejected - YHWH gives up on Israel until the Church is born!  

"Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops;

A state of siege has been placed against us.

They shall strike the ruler of Israel on the cheek with a rod (scepter).

“But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,

Too little to be among the clans of Judah;

From you One shall come forth for Me [who is] to be Ruler in Israel,

His goings forth (appearances) are from long ago,

From [a]ancient days.”

Therefore, He will give them up until the time

When she who is in labor has given birth to a child.

Then what is left of His kinsmen

Shall return to the children of Israel.

Isaiah 54:5-7 (AMP)  YHWH will take back His adulterous wife

“For your husband is your Maker,

The Lord of hosts is His name;

And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,

Who is called the Elohim of the whole earth.

“For the Lord has called you,

Like a wife who has been abandoned, grieved in spirit,

And like a wife [married] in her youth when she is [later] rejected and scorned,”

Says your Elohim.

“For a brief moment I abandoned you,

But with great compassion and mercy I will gather you [to Myself again].

Isaiah 66:7-8 (AMP)  Birth of the Male-Child (Rapture) Before the Labor Pains (Tribulation)

“Before she (Zion) was in labor, she gave birth;

Before her labor pain came, she gave birth to a boy.

“Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things?

Can a land [a]be born in one day?

Or can a nation be brought forth in a moment?

As soon as Zion was in labor, she also brought forth her sons.

1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)  The Church is Qadesh (Holy Nation)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1 Corinthians 5:4-5 (AMP) The Body consists of sons of the light and sons of the day.   In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I am with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to [a]hand over this man to Satan for the destruction of his body, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.  2 Kings 19

Isaiah 37:3  Tribulation occurs because the children have come to birth  They said to him, “This is what Hezekiah says, ‘This day is a day of distress, rebuke and disgrace; for children have come to birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.

Isaiah 66:9 (AMP)  Elohim gives delivery to the children and He is bringing us to Birth which is the Rapture
“Shall I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord.  “Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb?” says your God.  We are Israel's Child - Acts 2:1-4; I Peter 1:23; I Cor 15:52 - Tribulation Period of 7 years - The Time of Jacobs Trouble

Genesis 35:10 (AMP)  Jacob's name changes to Israel

Again Elohim said to him,

“Your name is Jacob;

You shall no longer be called Jacob,

But Israel shall be your name.”

So he was called Israel.

Genesis 35:22-26 (AMP)  The 12 Son's (tribes of Israel) of Jacob (9 stationary Stars in Leo plus 3 wandering Stars) While Israel was living in that land, Reuben [his eldest son] went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine, and Israel heard about it.  Now Jacob had twelve sons— The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; and the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin; and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan and Naphtali; and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob born to him in Paddan Aram.

Genesis 37:9 (AMP)  Joseph (Israel's 7th Son) dreams of 11 stars bowing down to him. Joseph is the 12th star.  But Joseph dreamed still another dream, and told it to his brothers [as well]. He said, “See here, I have again dreamed a dream, and lo, [this time I saw] eleven stars and the sun and the moon bowed down [in respect] to me!”

Jeremiah 30:7 (AMP) The Time of Jacob's Trouble - the 7 year Tribulation  period

‘Alas! for that day is great,

There is none like it;

It is the time of Jacob’s [unequaled] trouble,

But he will be saved from it.

Jeremiah 30:6  (AMP) The Prophecy of Jacob/Israel giving birth to the Body of Christ (the Church)

‘Ask now, and see

Whether a man can give birth [to a child].

Why then do I see every man

With his hands on his loins, as a woman in labor?

Why have all faces turned pale?

This is pointing directly at Rev.12 and Rev.12 points directly at the clock in the heavens.

Daniel 9:24-26 (AMP) Israel's 70 Weeks - Seventy Weeks and the Messiah  “Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] have been decreed for your people and for your holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make atonement (reconciliation) for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness (right-standing with God), to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.  So you are to know and understand that from the issuance of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Messiah (the Anointed One), the Prince, there will be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it will be built again, with [a city] plaza and moat, even in times of trouble.  Then after the sixty-two weeks [of years] the Anointed One will be cut off [and denied His Messianic kingdom] and have nothing [and no one to defend Him], and the people of the [other] prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.  

Daniel 9:27 (AMP)  The 70th week (7 year Tribulation Period) Peace Covenant confirmed for 7 years.  And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror.”  The Prince that comes is going to be the anti-Christ himself and will be destroyed at the end of the 7 years

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 (AMP) Peace and Safety declared - 7yrs of Labor pains begin (Daniel 9:27), Time of Jacob's Trouble of course they will be saved out of this.   Now as to the [a]times and dates, [b]brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.  For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord is coming just as a thief [comes unexpectedly and suddenly] in the night.  While they are saying, “Peace and safety [all is well and secure!]” then [in a moment unforeseen] destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains on a woman with child, and they will absolutely not escape [for there will be no way to escape the judgment of the Lord].  But you, [c]believers, [all you who believe in Christ as Savior and acknowledge Him as God’s Son] are not in spiritual darkness [nor held by its power], that the day [of judgment] would overtake you [by surprise] like a thief;  for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to the night nor to darkness.  So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does], but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise].  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night.  But since we [believers] belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope and confident assurance of salvation. For God has not destined us to [incur His] wrath [that is, He did not select us to condemn us], but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died [willingly] for us, so that whether we are awake (alive) or asleep (dead) [at Christ’s appearing], we will live together with Him [sharing eternal life]. Therefore encourage and comfort one another and build up one another, just as you are doing.  Remember the birth happens first and then the labor pains when they say "Peace and Safety" then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a Pregnant Woman.  Pointing to Revelations 12.  The Day of the Lord - Now as to the [a]times and dates, [b]brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.  For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord is coming just as a thief [comes unexpectedly and suddenly] in the night.  While they are saying, “Peace and safety [all is well and secure!]” then [in a moment unforeseen] destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains on a woman with child, and they will absolutely not escape [for there will be no way to escape the judgment of the Lord].

STUDY OF LEVITICUS - A WOMAN IN LABOR

Leviticus 12 Points to Revelation 12

Revelations 12 Reveals Leviticus 12

Leviticus 12 - Woman unclean - 7 days (years prophetically) after birthing of a male child - Pretribulation Rapture - A Prophecy for the Prophetic

PENTECOST = Conception

TRUMPETS = Birth/Rapture

TRIBULATION = 7 years
ATONEMENT = Messiah's Return - The Second Coming 

Leviticus 12: 1-8  (AMP)  Laws of Motherhood

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,  “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives and gives birth to a male child, she shall be [ceremonially] unclean for seven days, unclean as during her monthly period. On the eighth day the flesh of the male child’s foreskin shall be circumcised. Then she shall remain [intimately separated] thirty-three days to be purified from the blood; she shall not touch any consecrated thing nor enter the [courtyard of the] sanctuary until the days of her purification are over.  But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as during her monthly period, and she shall remain [intimately separated] sixty-six days to be purified from the blood.  ‘When the days of her purification are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting a one year old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a sin offering;  and he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female child.  If she cannot afford a lamb then she shall take two turtledoves or young pigeons, one as a burnt offering, the other as a sin offering; the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

Leviticus 12:7-8  Women's sins atoned for after the days of her cleansing are complete.  ATONEMENT - Messiah's Return - the Second Coming.  After the birth of a male child, a Hebrew woman is unclean for 7 days. ...and he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female child.  If she cannot afford a lamb then she shall take two turtledoves or young pigeons, one as a burnt offering, the other as a sin offering; the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
Jubilee Bible 3:8-10 After the birth of a male child, a Hebrew woman is unclean for 7 days.  Follow the Study Leviticus with the cross references.

Matthew 24:37  (AMP)  End days as before - as in the Day of Noah 

For the coming of the Son of Man (the Messiah) will be just like the days of Noah.

Luke 17:26-30  (AMP) - End days as before - In the days of Noah and Lot. 

And just as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the time of [the second coming of] the Son of Man:  the people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, [they were indifferent to God] until the day that Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.  It was the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building [carrying on business as usual, without regard for their sins];  but on the [very] day that Lot left Sodom it rained fire and brimstone (burning sulfur) from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

2 Peter 2:9  (AMP) - YHWH Rescues of the Righteous

Then [in light of the fact that all this is true, be sure that] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,

Jeremiah 3:1  (AMP) Why is the Woman unclean? The Polluted Land

That is to say, “If a man divorces his wife

And she goes [away] from him

And becomes another man’s [wife],

Will he return to her again? [Of course not!]

Will not that land [where such a thing happened] be completely desecrated?

But you [rebelled against Me and you] are a prostitute with many lovers;

Yet you turn to Me.” says the of the Lord, you arrogant men Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem!  Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol (the place of the dead) we have made an agreement, When the overwhelming scourge passes by, it will not reach us, For we have made lies our refuge and we have the overwhelming scourge passes through, then you will become its trampling ground.

Daniel 9:27 (AMP)  Atonement - The Battle of Armageddon - 

And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will e concealed ourselves in deception.”... “Your covenant with death will be annulled,  And your agreement with Sheol (the place of the dead) will not stand; Welcome one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror.”

Revelation 14:19-20 (AMP)  The Great Winepress - So the angel swung his sickle to the earth press of the wrath and indignation of God [as judgment of the rebellious world] just, awake and shout for joy!

For your dew is and harvested the grapevine of the earth, and threw the grapes into the great wi a dew of [celestial] light [heavenly, supernatural],

And .  And the grapes in the wine press were trampled and crushed outside the city, and blood poured from the wine press, reaching up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of sixteen hundred stadia.

Isaiah 26:19-21 (AMP)  Clear Pre-Trib Birth, Resurrection and Rapture of the Son's of Light - The dead of Christ Must Rise First.

Your dead will live;

[a]Their dead bodies will rise.

You who lie in the the earth will give birth to the spirits of the dead.

Come, my people, enter your chambers

And shut your doors behind you;

Hide for a little while

Until the [Lord’s] [b]wrath is past.

Listen carefully, the YHWH is about to come out of His [heavenly] place

To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];

The earth will reveal the [innocent] blood shed upon her

And will no longer cover her slain.

Isaiah 26:17-18  (AMP) - A Rapture/Trib TIMING CLUE points directly to Rev. 12:1-5 - The Ruach  Hakodesh

As a woman with child approaches the time to give birth,

She is in pain and struggles and cries out in her labor,

So we were before You, O Lord.

We have been with child, we have twisted and struggled in labor;

We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.

We could not accomplish salvation for the earth,

Nor were inhabitants of the world [a]born.

John 14:2-3 (AMP)  Yahushua

In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (AMP)  The Dead Resurrected First

For we say this to you by the Lord’s [own] word, that we who are still alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede [into His presence] those [believers] who have fallen asleep [in death].  For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the [a]archangel and with the [blast of the] trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Revelation 19:17-18 (AMP)  Birds feast on the destroyed unrighteousness. Supper of the great Elohim - Doom of the Beast and False Prophet

Then I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he shouted to all the birds that fly in midheaven, saying, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may feast on the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all humanity, both free men and slaves, both small and great [in a complete conquest of evil].”

Revelation 12:1-5 (AMP)  Revelation 12 points clearly to the Feasts of Trumpets.  Isaiah pointed the to Rev. 12 as being the Rapture and Tribulation

The Woman, Israel

12 And a great sign [warning of an ominous and frightening future event] appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child (the Messiah) and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

The Red Dragon, Satan

Then another sign [of warning] was seen in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon (Satan) with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven royal crowns (diadems).  And his tail swept [across the sky] and dragged away a third of the stars of heaven and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

The Male Child, Christ This refers to the ascension of Christ to heaven following His death and resurrection.

5 And she gave birth to a Son, a male Child, who is destined to rule (shepherd) all the nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne.

John 3:16  (AMP)  YHWH gave His first born Son for the sins of the World

“For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] [a]only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Jeremiah 4:31 (AMP)  Israel gives birth to her first born son before the Tribulation

For I heard a cry like a woman in labor,

The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,

The cry of the Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem), who gasps for breath,

Who stretches out her hands, saying,

“Woe is me [my judgment comes]! I faint [in fear] before the murderers.”

1 Corinthians 15:51-55 (AMP)  The Epic Hosea Rapture/Labor pains cross reference!  Listen very carefully, I tell you a mystery [a secret truth decreed by God and previously hidden, but now revealed]; we will not all sleep [in death], but we will all be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed], in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at [the sound of] the last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [who believed in Christ] will be raised imperishable, and we will be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed].  For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us that is capable of dying] must put on immortality [which is freedom from death]. And when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then the Scripture will be fulfilled that says, “Death is swallowed up in victory (vanquished forever).  O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

Hosea 13:12-13 (AMP)  Regarding the Rapture, Paul pointed to Hosea because Hosea pointed to Revelation 12.  Revelation 12 points clearly to the Feasts of Trumpets.

The wickedness of Ephraim [which is not yet completely punished] is bound up [as in a bag];

His sin is stored up [for judgment and destruction].

The pains of childbirth come on him;

But he is not a wise son,

For it is not the time to delay [his chance at a new birth] as the womb opens [but he ignores the opportunity to change].

Hosea 13:14 (AMP)  The Epic Hosea Rapture Labor Pains Cross Reference

Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead)?

Shall I redeem them from death?

[a]O death, where are your thorns?

O Sheol, where is your sting?

Compassion is hidden from My eyes [because of their failure to repent].

Jeremiah 49:23-24 (AMP)  Prophecy against Damascus Syria - Damascus Syria destroyed overnight as labor pains of pregnant women

Concerning Damascus [in Syria].

“Hamath and Arpad are perplexed and shamed,

For they have heard bad news;

They are disheartened;

Troubled and anxious like a [storm-tossed] sea

Which cannot be calmed.

“Damascus has become helpless;

She has turned away to flee,

Terror (panic) has seized her;

Anguish and distress have gripped her

Like a woman in childbirth.
