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,
Bishop William L McCoy
