In the Old Testament time when God had gifted someone and they were determined to forsake God despite that Gift, God would in His Mercy spare their life, but allowed them to be blinded to accomplish a divine purpose. It happened to Samson and later to Saul who became the Apostle Paul and whose sight was divinely restored. Israel’s last king Zedekiah in fulfilling prophecy was blinded when he desobeyed God and was taken captive to Babylon. In the New Testament many who were blind and one in particular, Bartimaeus who was born blind, were given sight by God’s Grace and Mercy. They became witnesses of God’s Mercy & Love, yet the religious leaders saw it as a threat to their education and power. In time they conspired to kill Jesus Christ and had Him crucified.
All three of God’s great prophets, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah who were appointed to warn the nation of Judah, warned the nation that judgment would come because “seeing they have not seen, and hearing they have not heard.” Are we “seeing and hearing” with our God-given hearts and minds today? We certainly seem to have failed to “see and hear” the warnings that God has declared concerning this time. Ask yourself these questions: If Jesus were to declare to you that He would bless you if you read, hear and/or understand the book of Revelation would you accept His divine invitation.? Why would you not dig into the book and study it? Well, God has made those promises and, “Yes” the book will bless you both with knowledge and understanding- and also by Faith in the Word it could supernaturally give you divine insight. So, as you read into the very middle of the book- Chapter 12, Jesus warns that He would give us a Great Sign in the heavens & soon later there would be a war in heaven where Satan and his angles are cast to earth, would you be concerned & take heed by studying more?
Or would you listen to the pundits that say it all happened back in time at the Garden of Eden when the Serpent tempted Eve? REALLY- then why was Satan talking to God in the Book of Job or in heaven accusing the Saints? Or do you trust those that say Satan is cast out of heaven only after all the events in prior chapters happen? In other words that it is in perfect chronological order. That would mean that Satan would have to be in both heaven and earth when Satan enters the Anti-Christ. And note what the Bible says about the lawless one or the Anti-Christ: “The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, and every kind of wicked deception…”2 Thess. 2:9,10.
“NO by no means no,” The Bible says that he is on earth as he enters the Anti-Christ to empower him. Satan and his angels are also working in the Seal and Trumpet judgments as the demons from the Abyss are released in Chapter 9. And NOTE: that would also mean that when the Saints are raptured in Chapter 4 or 7, they could meet Satan and angels in heaven or that while we are having the Wedding Feast of Lamb that Satan is up there watching. Why would Satan still be in heaven if he could no longer accuse the Saints (who are now raptured???). Note that Jesus is the Light of Life, the Light of the World who will eternally push back darkness—so would it not make sense that He would have cast Satan out of heaven and that He would use the heavenly bodies that He created to make this grand announcement?
The Lord has given us This Great Sign to make the church aware that we are now in the midst of a paradigm of LIES and Deception because Satan and his minions have been released upon this earth. If you WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DETAILS AND POWER OF THIS SIGN THAT WAS GIVEN TO US and acknowledged by the modern Magi–our astronomers and cosmologists— GO TO THE WEBSITE or order the book Cosmic Crossroad Countdown- Notice that at the time of the birth of Jesus the Jewish scholars and religious leaders did not SEE the SIGN of God’s divine BETHLEHEM STAR!
God is challenging us to see with divine insight by reading and studying His Word. The above passage in Revelation is a good example of difficult to comprehend Truth that demands understanding and prayer. God wants us not to have a spirit of fear, for He has given us a Spirit of Hope, Love and a Sound Mind. Read this post and I pray that you will receive a blessing and Hope as you follow God’s challenge to “see” His Great Sign of Revelation 12. More info available at CosmicCrossroad.com.
Share this important message with your friends and loved ones including your pastor, as God wants us to SEE with our heart and mind the “signs of the time” and the Truth in His Word. May God Bless you and Keep you in this time of testing and uncertainty. He is in control and His Word is the Light onto the Path.
