Revelation Chapter 12
NOW a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, & on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon having seven heads & ten horns, & seven diadems on his heads.
His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven & threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.
She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God & His throne.
The Book of Revelation. In the Holy Bible. It was this book & this particular passage that opened my curiosity about any scriptures at all. It was the quest for unlocking its meaning that sent me into a Divinity Hall room, cloistered an entire summer alone, while separated from my first husband & father of my children that was the center of all my academic attention & intellectual searching.
Prior to having my kids, I didn’t really pay much attention to religion one way or the other.
Yes, I did get baptized like I mentioned before, but that was when I was a baby. My parents did it through traditional Christian church authority to be on the safe side of God I guess.
Tradition. Public witness to say we believe in Christ & this daughter of ours is ours. In our family.
We were bundled into the family car on some Sundays growing up, mainly Christmas & Easter as they are times of celebration & it is fun to get dressed up & make a great party for those times.
Later, when I was in sixth grade, we lost a sister to cancer. She was only 4, & had been born with
Down’s Syndrome, or no, now its, she was “developmentally delayed”... we keep changing our words to describe the condition, but, Lisa, our now deceased little sister was the sweetest, most lovingly kind little creature you could ever want to know. She lived straight through her heart, all love, all hugs, all sweetness & smiles.
She has a limberness to her body like a rag doll “normal” people do not possess.
The underlying reason, we found out later that she was born with this genetic mutation traced back to Dad’s service in the Navy as a spotter pilot for our Eastern seaboard.
The Navy had helped finance his education at Middlebury, & in so doing, exacted its pound of flesh.
Seek & ye shall find, knock & it shall be opened unto to you”
One of the universal principles the Anointed One was saying, without all the thees & thous, & thou are nots of the King James version of things is this;
there is a Certain Way of manifesting creation. There are ways to use the co-creative intelligence written in the very stuff of what we are made of.
Our own bodies, the air we breath are molecules, elements, & subatomic particles called quarks, that if you keep looking, keep seeking the nature of them fall away to expose universes within universes within universes of highly organized, gyrating, spinning, electrically charged particles. Even when you think you get that, as the physicists have discovered, that perception too will change, as particles will then appear & disappear. Playfully, like a pod of dolphins cavorting in Santa Monica bay.
We are creations of vibratory motions, all vibrating at varying speeds. Sound of course is a vibration, & so is light. Although it appears at our mundane, every day level of function, to look like a straight beam, a shaft of sunlight or moonlight coming through your window is really wave upon wave of energy coming at various speeds to you.
Colors are the same. Heat, cold, everything that is created originally manifest from the same Source.
There is a thinking “stuff” from which all things are made, & which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, & fills the interspaces of the universe.
Really, we live & move & have our being in an ocean, & infinitely expanding ocean of this “stuff”.
Our culture gets all caught up in the naming of it, but if you have ever boiled water or sat for any length of time alone in a nice warm bath tub, without distractions, to allow your mind to clear of all the “buzz” modern life distracts you with, in a simple meditation, simply focusing attention on the simple tidal rhythm of your own breath, your own natural rhythmic breathing, allowing your thoughts to flit in & out of this tranquil, still mind place you begin to understand.
Every act you perform, every thought you think sets creation in motion. There is nowhere in your body or anywhere else in the universe you perceive to be outside of your body, your glove, your temple of flesh, that is not subject to this universal law, these physical & metaphysical facts.
Truth stands independent of anyone’s opinion about it. And truth is vaster & far more magnificent than most have ever begun to explore. Truth is a manifestation of LOVE. And LOVE is all there is.
Truth is also the height of efficiency & conservation.
If we slow down enough in our technocratic mad dash for planetary destruction, to spend time in nature, nature reveals. Everything you ever wanted to know. There is a library of information written in a simple drop of water.
A THOUGHT in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
The most powerful tool we have on this planet & anywhere else is IMAGINATION.
Our most brilliant scientists, writers, artists & musicians KNOW this. With an inner knowing, in theological terms what is called at Harvard & other high brow learning centers, “gnosis”. The inner knowing of intuition. That “sixth sense” that ripples chills up your spine & makes the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
My favorite line in the movie City of Angels is the conversation an angel is having watching humanity with someone, a skeptic, who is putting down the concept that angels are real.
The line remains;
truth stands independent of anyone’s opinion of it.
My favorite movie that explores this in depth is the movie Contact. With Jody Foster. One of my favorite actresses. If anyone should ever produce my life movie, I would choose her to play me.
Vibrations are either slow or fast, in a continuum one way or another.
To use the simplest of examples; how water works, a universal element everyone who speaks every language on the face of the planet encounters every day, water is manifested differently depending on the degree of heat that is applied to it.
When you turn on the faucet, or draw it from a well, & put it in a container & over a source of fire, water changes. It gets hotter. It starts to boil, there is more vibration. Literally you SEE this. Even a primitive moron can see this with the naked eye.
What was a contained body of fluid liquid, lying calm in a space that is contained with matter, say a steel pot which appears at the macro level not to move at all, & can hold this liquid “stuff”.
Say you are a nine year old. Never seen a cell under a microscope. But you see this. Put water in a pot. Set it down. After moving it to the burner & allowing time for it to rest, just moments, that water will appear a still clear mirror. Add heat. When you watch this pot, if you do so just sitting still yourself watching it, you will notice that, as the burner turns red, the water begins to change. Little bubbles begin to form at the bottom of the pot.
Gradually those little bubbles gather momentum & start to lift off of the bottom of the pot and toward the surface & beyond. Into the atmosphere you are breathing as you sit there watching. More & more gather until, as you watch, the water is bubbling, roiling, & something you see as steam or mist rises from that heated liquid. Did any of the molecules get "lost"? No, they simply changed with an added element of heat.
NOW, I ask any one of you, has anyone seen differently? Seen water that has heat applied ever create steam that seeps through the bottom of the pan & run down the side of the stove onto your floor????
I think you can see what I mean here. Water happens. Steam rises. The “stuff” of this elemental manifestation will reliably & predictably ALWAYS do the same thing. Water will boil when heat is applied. It will freeze when there is an absence of it.
I REST MY CASE for universal truth existing. No need for arguing here.
The ultimate conservation of universal wisdom of this “stuff‘ is likewise simply right there in front of you if you only look. You MUST SEEK IT THOUGH.
The other part of this gnosis is, YOU MUST ENGAGE YOUR MIND IN AN ACTIVE PURSUIT, an INTENT must be formed for anything to manifest. We all have this creativeness this Godness, (again I hesitate to use this term for the sake of the skeptic & critical mindset out there but for those who LIKE the term God....) WE ARE THE WORLD...we cocreate what we spend our time directing that all powerful INTENT TO...
So what the bleap does that have to do with the woman in the book you ask?
So glad you did, friends, EVERYTHING.
ALLBEINGNESS.
I will use the formation of a human baby as an example, this one my sister.
Dad, a partner is this magnificent cocreative process, flew aircraft.
Turns out, the researchers at Mass General who were treating Lisa at the time of her illness, were researching the origins of leukemia, a blood disorder, where the white cells in our bodies are affected.
They discovered there is a strong link between mongolism as it was called in those days, & incidence of leukemia.
They looked into microscopes into the vastness of inner space to find out that in this case, when a child has these features & characteristics a key chromosome has been altered. Damaged by this invisible low vibratory influence.
And in Lisa’s case, the good detectives discovered that that genetic mutation was directly linked to Dad exposing his gonads to a lower vibration while flying these aircraft.
It was his contribution to the genetic mix that formed Lisa that was altered through exposure to high levels of radioactivity.
High levels of low vibrations.
Extremes I know. But take it in. Cogitate on that one awhile. You got time.
Skeins & skeins of it.
This is the birds & the bees millennial edition.
The Bible is a source of wisdom for those have eyes & ears open to find it. For themselves. Not like dumb sheep or goats being led to slaughter. Or people herded into concentration camps & gassed or flown off to obscure Turkish or Afghanistani prisons & cells of torture to disappear.
The “hearing” has to resonate in your inward being. And that can happen anywhere.
Do you need to see how a radio receives a signal in order to amplify it & send it out to your physical hearing? Of course not. You take it on faith. You take it in on blind faith.
The Bible contains words which likewise are made up of print, even as this page you are reading now is made of vibratory frequences. Orderly ones. Purely intentful, truthful ones.
We can all agree that this collection of writings, all MEN by the way, were scribing, laying down on a material surface somewhere at some time, a revealing, a revelation of the inner knowing they had received, for our benefit. That is what a prophet does. Brings messages from “God”, for lack of a better term. And somebody, actually a collection of somebodies put it all together in a book. But it is really a collection of books, assembled in one place so the discerning eye, the seeker could “get it”.
When you start to grasp the metaphysics of reality, death becomes a mere gateway to a new form of being.
Nature, in her ultimate efficient way of conserving matter does not lose one molecule of this stuff we are all moving living & having our being in. This ocean of love.
That is why Lisa, as we knew her in our family IS.
She has never been truly lost, although the glove of flesh she came to us in, the little clay jar her loving self manifested in, graced our own family for a very short time, she simply left, & rose, like steam from the pot, to be reformed in the ocean of love she merged once again with.
I write this as a personal example of a powerful moment in our family’s collective life together.
For me, standing at her graveside, which was not a grave, but an urn of ashes, my sixth grade body/mind/temple was filled with anguish & sadness for her loss, & the way it affected my family.
When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
Sufi epigram
We see most clearly through the chalice of our hearts.
Our hearts are set ablaze by our watery, moon-mediated emotions.
So in the END, revealing what Revelation I can now, as a function of why I am still here with all of you, is, I did get something out of all that cloistered study with the Book of Revelation, the book of revealings.
I learned a lot at Harvard. The School of the Prophets. I built upon the strong foundation, no, my tree grew deeper, more stubborn roots, my branches bigger & fuller & more flexible with the added education there.
Harvard knew how to extend HOSPITALITY, the foundation of all human kindness. Just for starters. It is where the term hospital derives from.
Gave me a sacred, quiet space to learn.
How better to be who I was, am & will be.
Types, Antitypes, Signs, and Shadows, are Absolutely
Indespensable for proper Scriptural Interpretation.
A 'Type' is: A Biblical person, thing, action, event, ceremony, structure, furniture, color, or number, that prefigures an 'antitype' of the same in the New Testament.
A likeness must exist between the 'type', the Old Testament prefigurement, also called an 'archetype', and the 'antitype' , the New Testament reality. The 'antitype' is always greater.
Both are independent of each other.
Types' are explained in Rom 5:14 and Heb 9:9, as a figure, 1Cor 10:6 and 2Thess 3:9 and 2Pet 2:6, as examples, 1Cor 10:11 and Heb 11:19, as a type. Much of Heb 11 is devoted to Old Testament 'typology'.
The Exodus, Ex 12:37-42, is a 'type' of Jesus Christ's return from His flight to Egypt, Matt 2:21.
The manna in the desert, Ex 16:31, is a 'type' of its 'antitype' the Holy Eucharist, Matt 26:26.
The water from the rock which Moses struck in Ex 17:1-6, is a 'type' of the Blood of Christ.
Uzzah died a physical death by touching the Ark in 2Sam 6:7. That is a 'type' of dying a spiritual death by partaking of the Holy Eucharist unworthily as in 1Cor 11:27. The reality of dying a spiritual death is greater than the physical death of the 'type'.
The 'antitype' of the New Testament is vastly superior to its 'type' in the Old Testament.
Adam is a 'type' of Christ, as is Melchisedech, Moses, and King David.
Types' are referred to in the following verses, sometimes under different wording:
Rom 5:14, 1Cor 10:2,6,11, Heb 3:1 to 4:11,11:19, 1Thes 1:7 (pattern), 1Pet 3:21 (counterpart),
1Pet 5:3 (pattern) (KJ - ensamples), Rev 21:1 to 22:5.
The New Testament reality is infinitely greater than the Old Testament prefigurement here.
A 'shadow' is an image cast by a person or object, as that person or object intercepts a light source. The dictionary defines a 'shadow' as, "an imperfect image or copy".
This is interesting as it shows the 'shadow' is far removed from its cause, and is therefore to be seen as vastly inferior to its 'antitype', the person or object which forms it.
A 'shadow' therefore could also be seen as a 'type', since it 'foreshadows', or prefigures an 'antitype'.
"For the Law, having but a 'shadow' of the good things to come, and NOT THE EXACT IMAGE OF THE OBJECTS, is NEVER ABLE BY THE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFER CONTINUALLY, YEAR AFTER YEAR THE SAME, TO PERFECT THOSE WHO DRAW NEAR:" Hebrews 10:1
This brings us to some interesting conclusions and provides an important key to Bible understanding.
"Let no one, then, call you to account for what you eat or drink or in regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ."
Col 2:16-17
The Sabbath is but just a shadow of the Sunday Mass.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
"For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a 'shadow', and there is no stay." 1Chron 29:15
The short life on earth is the 'type' of the 'antitype' of eternal life promised to us after death.
Eve is a 'type' of her 'antitype', the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Eve was created without original sin.
If Blessed Mary had original sin as some say, then that would make her inferior to her 'type', Eve.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement, not inferior to it.
Eve is the mother of all mankind, Gen 3:20. Her 'antitype', the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the Mother of GOD, John 1:1,14.
The Ark of the Covenant of the Old Testament contained within it, the Word of GOD written on stone tablets. It is a 'type' of the New Testament 'antitype', the New Ark of the Covenant, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who 'contained' within her womb, the Word of GOD incarnate.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
The manna in the desert is infinitely inferior to the Holy Eucharist described in John 6:1-70.
If the Holy Eucharist were not the Body, Blood, Soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, then that would make the Old Testament prefigurement, the miraculous manna, superior to its 'antitype'.
"Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
Hebrews 9:23
The context of this verse from 18-22 describes the animal blood sacrifices of the Old Testament. Verse 23 clearly teaches that "copies" of heavenly things is the "type" of the heavenly realities of a "body.htm". That "better" sacrifice could not be a symbol of the reality, but of the reality itself.
Never in Scripture does an Old Testament "type" point to a New Testament symbol.
The New Testament reality is far greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
More examples of 'types' and 'antitypes'...
GOD created man in His image, Gen 1:27, and GOD was born in the image of man, Luke 2:7.
Noah's Ark and the flood, only 8 were saved through water, and Baptism, all potentially saved through water, 1Pet 3:20-21.
The tree of the forbidden fruit in Eden, Gen 3:6, which brought death to us all, and the tree of the cross which brought eternal life to us all, Acts 5:30.
Isaac carried the wood of the sacrifice on his back, Gen 22:6, and Jesus carried His cross on His back, John 19:17.
Moses is rescued by a handmaid, Ex 2:5 and Jesus is born by a handmaid, Luke 1:38.
Joshua got the better of the battle with Amalek as long as Moses kept his hands raised, Ex 17:8-13.
The figure of Moses is a 'type' of the cross. This is from the Epistle of Barnabas, Chapter XII.
Thank you to Bob Stanley for sharing.
So in the end of the most tribulous, chaos- ridden time of times we are told through our revelator John, the scribe of the book of Revelation, there is a significant birth. Not just any kid. When we refer to the Kid he is called a Child in this final book With the capital C.
The scholar above points out that these particular sacred scriptures, the collection of books we call the Bible, have various points of view & ways of perceiving meaning & reality.
In the case of this glimpse of birth, it is clear that the Anointed One comes again.
He comes again through a woman. She is not capitalized. She is an earthly woman in a body of flesh bringing forth Him, the guy to rule all nations with an iron rod. She does so, groaning, in PAIN. No beatific virgin in a white flowing gown with an overcoat of sky blue, anemic looking, no guts, no glory, NO, this woman is a bloody birthing, in your face real live woman. When her labor pains come she YELLS!
She ain’t no Madonna strutting her stuff on a stage in high heels swinging crucifixes around her neck, popping bubblegum, singing & gyrating like a two bit hooker, creating a lovely memoir for her first born daughter NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Madonna has to be a shadow image of the real woman in the book!
The Michael, the Daniel, they too are significant players in end time revelation. They are also players in the drama involving weird beasts, red fiery dragons with 7 heads...
the Michael who stands up at the end can not possibly be the weirdo who has just come through yet another trial sucking the mesmerized populace into its fascination in California.
Monica Lewinski is a shadow of a type that would be fit to fill the office of the President as the first woman to do so NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She would never get my vote if she can stoop under the desk of the office of the most powerful post in the world & suck an egomaniac’s dick, then preserve it dribbled on a dress to prove it.
Weird types, antitypes, shadows of nobility, honor, glory. Cheap, plastic imitations.
Check it all out. Think about it!
Jesus as the Lord & Savior of this earth & universe is not appearing in the clouds magically like a Power Ranger either to magically lift up his chosen in the air with clouds NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John tells us, He comes again through a woman. A real flesh & blood woman.
Hmmmm, so perplexing so misinterpreted, so many various interpretations, which one is right?
Who is telling the truth about this most significant chapter that signals well, everything else that happens from that point on?
I went over & over that passage again & again. I sat quietly alone in Divinity hall, searching, prying, praying, asking my friends in the shared kitchen we prepared meals in, what is that book all about. How do you see it?....
One more thing, a "throne" in theological terms is a "type" of angel....
An angel bearing an angel could conceivably reach between her own "throne", her seat where the gateway to life in the body IS, & pick up her baby & bring him up in the air herself! To look into the eyes of His own beloved angel mama....
How's that for a different voice????
As usual take what you need, leave the rest. It will keep.
watch for Part 9.....
NOW a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, & on her head a garland of twelve stars.
Then being with child, she cried out in labor & pain to give birth.

She has never been truly lost, although the glove of flesh she came to us in, the little clay jar her loving self manifested in, graced our own family for a very short time, she simply left, & rose, like steam from the pot, to be reformed in the ocean of love she merged once again with.
I write this as a personal example of a powerful moment in our family’s collective life together.
For me, standing at her graveside, which was not a grave, but an urn of ashes, my sixth grade body/mind/temple was filled with anguish & sadness for her loss, & the way it affected my family.
When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
Sufi epigram
We see most clearly through the chalice of our hearts.
Our hearts are set ablaze by our watery, moon-mediated emotions.
So in the END, revealing what Revelation I can now, as a function of why I am still here with all of you, is, I did get something out of all that cloistered study with the Book of Revelation, the book of revealings.
I learned a lot at Harvard. The School of the Prophets. I built upon the strong foundation, no, my tree grew deeper, more stubborn roots, my branches bigger & fuller & more flexible with the added education there.
Harvard knew how to extend HOSPITALITY, the foundation of all human kindness. Just for starters. It is where the term hospital derives from.
Gave me a sacred, quiet space to learn.
How better to be who I was, am & will be.
Types, Antitypes, Signs, and Shadows, are Absolutely
Indespensable for proper Scriptural Interpretation.
A 'Type' is: A Biblical person, thing, action, event, ceremony, structure, furniture, color, or number, that prefigures an 'antitype' of the same in the New Testament.
A likeness must exist between the 'type', the Old Testament prefigurement, also called an 'archetype', and the 'antitype' , the New Testament reality. The 'antitype' is always greater.
Both are independent of each other.
Types' are explained in Rom 5:14 and Heb 9:9, as a figure, 1Cor 10:6 and 2Thess 3:9 and 2Pet 2:6, as examples, 1Cor 10:11 and Heb 11:19, as a type. Much of Heb 11 is devoted to Old Testament 'typology'.
The Exodus, Ex 12:37-42, is a 'type' of Jesus Christ's return from His flight to Egypt, Matt 2:21.
The manna in the desert, Ex 16:31, is a 'type' of its 'antitype' the Holy Eucharist, Matt 26:26.
The water from the rock which Moses struck in Ex 17:1-6, is a 'type' of the Blood of Christ.
Uzzah died a physical death by touching the Ark in 2Sam 6:7. That is a 'type' of dying a spiritual death by partaking of the Holy Eucharist unworthily as in 1Cor 11:27. The reality of dying a spiritual death is greater than the physical death of the 'type'.
The 'antitype' of the New Testament is vastly superior to its 'type' in the Old Testament.
Adam is a 'type' of Christ, as is Melchisedech, Moses, and King David.
Types' are referred to in the following verses, sometimes under different wording:
Rom 5:14, 1Cor 10:2,6,11, Heb 3:1 to 4:11,11:19, 1Thes 1:7 (pattern), 1Pet 3:21 (counterpart),
1Pet 5:3 (pattern) (KJ - ensamples), Rev 21:1 to 22:5.
The New Testament reality is infinitely greater than the Old Testament prefigurement here.
A 'shadow' is an image cast by a person or object, as that person or object intercepts a light source. The dictionary defines a 'shadow' as, "an imperfect image or copy".
This is interesting as it shows the 'shadow' is far removed from its cause, and is therefore to be seen as vastly inferior to its 'antitype', the person or object which forms it.
A 'shadow' therefore could also be seen as a 'type', since it 'foreshadows', or prefigures an 'antitype'.
"For the Law, having but a 'shadow' of the good things to come, and NOT THE EXACT IMAGE OF THE OBJECTS, is NEVER ABLE BY THE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFER CONTINUALLY, YEAR AFTER YEAR THE SAME, TO PERFECT THOSE WHO DRAW NEAR:" Hebrews 10:1
This brings us to some interesting conclusions and provides an important key to Bible understanding.
"Let no one, then, call you to account for what you eat or drink or in regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ."
Col 2:16-17
The Sabbath is but just a shadow of the Sunday Mass.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
"For we are sojourners before thee, and strangers, as were our fathers. Our days upon earth are as a 'shadow', and there is no stay." 1Chron 29:15
The short life on earth is the 'type' of the 'antitype' of eternal life promised to us after death.
Eve is a 'type' of her 'antitype', the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Eve was created without original sin.
If Blessed Mary had original sin as some say, then that would make her inferior to her 'type', Eve.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement, not inferior to it.
Eve is the mother of all mankind, Gen 3:20. Her 'antitype', the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the Mother of GOD, John 1:1,14.
The Ark of the Covenant of the Old Testament contained within it, the Word of GOD written on stone tablets. It is a 'type' of the New Testament 'antitype', the New Ark of the Covenant, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who 'contained' within her womb, the Word of GOD incarnate.
The New Testament reality is greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
The manna in the desert is infinitely inferior to the Holy Eucharist described in John 6:1-70.
If the Holy Eucharist were not the Body, Blood, Soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, then that would make the Old Testament prefigurement, the miraculous manna, superior to its 'antitype'.
"Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
Hebrews 9:23
The context of this verse from 18-22 describes the animal blood sacrifices of the Old Testament. Verse 23 clearly teaches that "copies" of heavenly things is the "type" of the heavenly realities of a "body.htm". That "better" sacrifice could not be a symbol of the reality, but of the reality itself.
Never in Scripture does an Old Testament "type" point to a New Testament symbol.
The New Testament reality is far greater than the Old Testament prefigurement.
More examples of 'types' and 'antitypes'...
GOD created man in His image, Gen 1:27, and GOD was born in the image of man, Luke 2:7.
Noah's Ark and the flood, only 8 were saved through water, and Baptism, all potentially saved through water, 1Pet 3:20-21.
The tree of the forbidden fruit in Eden, Gen 3:6, which brought death to us all, and the tree of the cross which brought eternal life to us all, Acts 5:30.
Isaac carried the wood of the sacrifice on his back, Gen 22:6, and Jesus carried His cross on His back, John 19:17.
Moses is rescued by a handmaid, Ex 2:5 and Jesus is born by a handmaid, Luke 1:38.
Joshua got the better of the battle with Amalek as long as Moses kept his hands raised, Ex 17:8-13.
The figure of Moses is a 'type' of the cross. This is from the Epistle of Barnabas, Chapter XII.
Thank you to Bob Stanley for sharing.
So in the end of the most tribulous, chaos- ridden time of times we are told through our revelator John, the scribe of the book of Revelation, there is a significant birth. Not just any kid. When we refer to the Kid he is called a Child in this final book With the capital C.
The scholar above points out that these particular sacred scriptures, the collection of books we call the Bible, have various points of view & ways of perceiving meaning & reality.
In the case of this glimpse of birth, it is clear that the Anointed One comes again.
He comes again through a woman. She is not capitalized. She is an earthly woman in a body of flesh bringing forth Him, the guy to rule all nations with an iron rod. She does so, groaning, in PAIN. No beatific virgin in a white flowing gown with an overcoat of sky blue, anemic looking, no guts, no glory, NO, this woman is a bloody birthing, in your face real live woman. When her labor pains come she YELLS!
She ain’t no Madonna strutting her stuff on a stage in high heels swinging crucifixes around her neck, popping bubblegum, singing & gyrating like a two bit hooker, creating a lovely memoir for her first born daughter NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Madonna has to be a shadow image of the real woman in the book!
The Michael, the Daniel, they too are significant players in end time revelation. They are also players in the drama involving weird beasts, red fiery dragons with 7 heads...
the Michael who stands up at the end can not possibly be the weirdo who has just come through yet another trial sucking the mesmerized populace into its fascination in California.
Monica Lewinski is a shadow of a type that would be fit to fill the office of the President as the first woman to do so NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She would never get my vote if she can stoop under the desk of the office of the most powerful post in the world & suck an egomaniac’s dick, then preserve it dribbled on a dress to prove it.
Weird types, antitypes, shadows of nobility, honor, glory. Cheap, plastic imitations.
Check it all out. Think about it!
Jesus as the Lord & Savior of this earth & universe is not appearing in the clouds magically like a Power Ranger either to magically lift up his chosen in the air with clouds NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John tells us, He comes again through a woman. A real flesh & blood woman.
Hmmmm, so perplexing so misinterpreted, so many various interpretations, which one is right?
Who is telling the truth about this most significant chapter that signals well, everything else that happens from that point on?
I went over & over that passage again & again. I sat quietly alone in Divinity hall, searching, prying, praying, asking my friends in the shared kitchen we prepared meals in, what is that book all about. How do you see it?....
One more thing, a "throne" in theological terms is a "type" of angel....
An angel bearing an angel could conceivably reach between her own "throne", her seat where the gateway to life in the body IS, & pick up her baby & bring him up in the air herself! To look into the eyes of His own beloved angel mama....
How's that for a different voice????
As usual take what you need, leave the rest. It will keep.
watch for Part 9.....
