The Woman and The Man Child, Part 5

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the Name of the One whom Paul wrote about in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. Paul’s “strength” is our “strength” today, Jesus Christ our savior and soon coming King. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man -Child” - - When the principles of the Mosaic Laws loses its force to the future Jewish converts, it is revealed unto us that they will rise about those principles. The Jews crown and glory will be that the twelve Apostles were her own people according to the flesh.

Precious Ones, in that day the 144,000 remaining Jews will acknowledge that Jesus is her Messiah. And even as it is today, many have not come to the full knowledge of the truth even then she will be in travail (she—meaning the Jewish race) to bring forth a “Man-Child” who was to “rule all nations with a rod of iron” (according to Revelations 12:5). In other words, Christ shall make a personal appearance unto them and then they will know and believe that Jesus is God. Remember, Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 2:3, “And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Chosen Ones, in other words, if the “Man-Child” is to rule the nations (another revelation of Him is Christ the God-Man), He must rule Mt. Zion, for there is the place from wherever the law shall come from. I will confirm this forgoing statement in next weeks letter. Just be thankful we don’t have to wait to believe that Jesus is the Messiah.

I love you all so very much
In His love,

The Woman and The Man Child, Part 4

Praise the Lord Beloved and greetings in the name of the One who said (in St. John 15:17), “These things I command you that ye love one another”. The author of those words is none other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s in His name that I greet you.

Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Woman and the Man -Child” - - the Laodicean age Christians (according to Revelations 3:21) “shall sit with (God) on (His) throne”. But those who miss this time of salvation shall pass on into the “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”. This is a biblical metamorphic term indicating a time when the wrath of God shall be poured out on this earth. When you have time, study Jeremiah 30:5— 7.

Precious Ones, during that time of God’s wrath “The Woman” (the church), which will be no longer Gentile (because we will already be in heaven); but Israelitish, comes to the knowledge of Christ! Evidently “The Man-Child” (or-the 144,000 baby over comers out of the Tribe of Israel) is saved through the preaching of what the Apostle John calls the “Two-witnesses” (in Revelations 11:3). Some theologians believe the “Two-witnesses” will be (1) Moses and (2) Elijah who appeared in the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus and Peter, James and John. Read Matthew 17:4, Mark 9:5 and Luke 9:33.

Chosen Ones, one thing we do know is that the `144,000 that shall escape the wrath of God will be “clothed with the sun” (according to Revelations 12:1) representing the Glory of God. Even more importantly, those Jews will receive the “Glory” of the gospel of Christ. Why? Because (again in Revelations 12:1) “The moon (will be) under her feet” which symbolizes the Mosaic laws will lose it’s influence in their eyes and have power at all.

Anointed Ones, all of these means that every Jew that is blinded now to Jesus being Messiah , will eventually have the truth reveled to them but only a small remmenant will benefit from God’s grace to deliver them from their blindness. These scriptures teach us to appreciate this time God has revealed to us Gentiles and Jewish believers who Jesus really is.

I will write more on this subject next week
Until then, know this
I love you all so very much
In His love,
