THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IS PREGNANT (SIGNIFICANTLY, AS WAS MARY)

(Rom 8:18,19) For I reckon that the sufferings [tribulations] of [our pregnancy at] this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us [Gk: to take off the cover, disclosed] [i.e., unveiled, birthed in us]. For the earnest expectation of the creature [Gk: (all) creation] waiteth for the manifestation [Gk: appearance] of the sons [Gk: children] [that’s us] of God[ref. 2 Thess 1:7-12]

1.    (Rev 12:5) And she [the church] brought forth [Gk: birthed] a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up [raptured] unto God, and to his throne. 

 

(Matt 24:8) All these [the latter first three seals (strong delusion, war, famine) composited together] are the beginning of sorrows [Gk: pangs or throes, espec. childbirth: pain, travail][beginning our righteous birth]

1.    Commentary: With this verse Jesus Christ separates the first three seals of ever increasing tribulation (teaching and testing) in our lives from the fourth seal of enormously intensified Great Tribulation and describes the resulting ultimate consequence of good versus evil (order vs. chaos).

 

THE FOURTH SEAL OF GREAT TRIBULATION

(Matt 24:9-14) Then [suffering under the pangs of childbirth] [1] shall they deliver you up to be afflicted [Gk: pressure: tribulation], and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated [Gk: detested: loved less] of all nations for my name's sake [for Jesus Christ]. And then shall many be offended [Gk: ensnared, tripped up, stumble, enticed to sin], and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets [like the fake (false) news media (lying propaganda)] shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity [Gk: violation of the law, wickedness: unrighteousness] shall abound, the love of many [pseudo-Christians] shall wax [become] cold [Gk: a reduction in temperature, to chill][2] But he that shall endure [Gk: bear trials, persevere: take patiently, suffer] unto the end, the same shall be saved [Gk: (“safe”); delivered or protected: healed, made whole]. And this gospel [good news] of the kingdom [of God] shall be preached in all the world [primarily via the Internet] for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come

1.    Commentary: “Then” = when the accumulatingsorrows” of the first three seals (tribulations) become fully active, which circumstance may be witnessed by/as a dramatic increase in frequency and intensity of the pains (as in childbirth) thereby causing the entire world to be in the disasterous throes of “strong delusion” (2 Thes 2:11), i.e., maximized confusion (chaos versus order).

2.    (Rev 6:7,8) And when he [Jesus Christ, the Word of God (John 1:14)] had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast [Gk: zoon; a live thing, an animal] say, Come and see [a command]. And I looked, and behold a pale [Gk: greenish] horse [prophesying the death-dealing endtime doctrine of “The Green New Deal”]: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him [a]. And power was given unto them [the antichrists] over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts [Gk: therion; a dangerous animal: venomous, wild] of the earth [the latter phrase is specifying earthly creatures rather than other-world alien creatures, clearly pointing to all unsaved wild men]

a.     Commentary: some of us will no longer be here because no true believing Christian will ever go to Hell. The substitutionary death of Jesus Christ has paid the price of redemption for us all, saved and unsaved alike. Therefore, the evil victory over many peoples of this passage does not pertain to we the relatively few persons who truly “believe” in Jesus Christ. In that regard, during the early part of the fourth seal some few of us (the shepherds: Isa 3:1-3) shall be “raptured,” i.e., birthed out (of Mary) J  leaving behind on this earth the vastly larger balance of immature Christians (the sheep: Isa 3:4-12) to be ruled over by women [“and women rule over them” Isa 3:12]. Nevertheless, whosoever willendure [the fourth seal of Great Tribulation] unto the end, the same shall be saved (i.e., raptured).

 

AND THEN SHALL THE END COME(Matt 24:14)

(Matt 24:15-22) When ye therefore shall see the abomination [Gk: a detestation, idolatry /// to stink] of desolation [Gk: to lay waste: come to nought], spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand [a person assuming the position (rank) of the High Priest, “a leader of the free world,” perhaps a woman standing in great (worldwide) power as President of the USA] in the holy place [symbolically paralleling the White House], (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them [the mass of people] which be in [the province (flock) of] Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes [“Remember Lot’s wife.” Luke 17:32]. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation [cumulating in world-wide thermo-nuclear war], such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake [i.e., for the Christian’s sake] those days shall be shortened [1]

1.    (1 Thes 4:16,17) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel [Michael], and with the trump [i.e., the Bible trumpet] of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first [what if this grouping points to the Isaiah 3:1-3 shepherd folks]: Then we which are alive and remain [what if this grouping points to the Isaiah 3:4-12 sheep folks who “endure unto the end”] shall be caught up together [Gk: seized: plucked, pulled, taken by force] [ref. Rev 12:5] with them in the clouds [a temporary place of symbolic ministry between earth and heaven], to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

 

(Matt 24:23-28) Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they [the antichrists] shall deceive the very elect [i.e., deceive us, but that is impossible because the Holy Spirit of God lives inside us (Luke 17:21)]Behold, I have told you before [warned you before it happens]. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning [suddenly] cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west [instantly, brilliantly illuminating the full horizon]; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be [for He shall come suddenly out of us (Rom 8:18,19]. For wheresoever the carcase [Gk: a ruin; lifeless body, corpse: dead body] is, there will the eagles be gathered together [1]

1.    (Isa 40:31) But they that wait upon [Heb: looking patiently (for)] the LORD shall renew [restore] their strength; they shall mount up [Heb: ascend] with wings as eagles [erroneously: “vultures” NAS, NIV]; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint [Joel 2:1-11]. 

 

 

Amen
