Strong Delusion In Scripture,

Part 8:

“The 7 Stars of Revelation: the Church?”

REVELATION NOT FOR THE CHURCH!?!

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blue_exclamation_mark.svg

The general consensus in today’s Christendom is that “the last 19 chapters of Revelation is not for the Church”!

.

Unbelievable? Yes, very unbelievable!

.

Much to the contrary, the Book of Revelation proclaims of itself…“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” Revelation 22:16

.

This above statement by Jesus has been a well-accepted truth for many centuries by the majority of the Church-age prior to our current-day.

.

It is only in the last century or more, that theologians began to deny this truth.

.

“CHURCH” NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED

.

And one big reason they deny this truth is because they claim that the name, “Church” is not found in chapters 4 through 21.

.

Therefore, they conclude that the Church has to be removed from the earth via the so-called “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”, another non-biblical term.

.

But the fact is, the Church is found a number of times in those chapters.

.

And yet, for God’s own purposes, Revelation’s references to the Church are veiled in types and symbols, in those chapters.

.

.

.

.

.

REVELATION 12 WOMAN: THE CHURCH

https://theheavensdeclare.net/woman-in-travail/.

For instance, in Revelation 12, a woman is focused upon, who gives birth to Christ.

.

But this woman is actually a symbol of the eternal Church, as is written…“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26

.

Here is the plain declaration which God put in the mouth of the Apostle Paul!

.

And that woman of Revelation 12 is this same woman of which Paul refers to in Galatians 4:26.

.

Notice that Jerusalem above is the “mother of us all”, which includes both Jewish and gentile Believers.

THE 7 STARS = THE 7 ANGELS of THE 7 CHURCHES

.

But the Church is also mentioned elsewhere in Revelation.

.

You see, in various chapters of Revelation, God mentions the seven stars, the seven angels of the seven churches…

…”The mystery of the seven stars

which you saw in My right hand,

and the seven golden candlesticks.

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:

and the seven candlesticks which you saw,

are the seven churches.”

Revelation 1:20

.

So here is the revelation that the “seven stars are the angels of the seven churches”.

.

Here above, it is revealed that the seven stars actually symbolize the seven angels of the seven churches.

.

But this is not the only place in Revelation which speaks of the seven angels.

.

THE 7 ANGELS of THE 7 CHURCHES

.

 No, the church is also mentioned elsewhere in Revelation.

.http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Tissot_The_Seven_Trumpets_of_Jericho.jpg

First, we read in Revelation 8:2…

…”And I saw the seven angels

which stood before God;

and to them were given seven trumpets.”

.

Here is yet another veiled reference to the Church.

.

These seven angels who stand before God are, most likely, the same seven angels of the seven churches, spoken of in Revelation 1:20…“the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches”.

THE 7 ANGELS OF THE 7 CHURCHES

.

And so, herein is defined just what these seven angels are all about: they are the seven angels of the seven churches.

.

This is the sign in heaven, great and marvelous!

.

Well, this is how the Book of Revelation refers to the Church: in types and symbols.

.

And the bulk of the Book of Revelation takes place in the heavenly sanctuary.

BIBLE PLAINLY REVEALS SALVATION

.

Well, the Good News is, that the Bible plainly reveals how a man, woman, or child can begin to discern the parabolic nature of the Bible.

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

It is by becoming indwelt by the Spirit of Holiness, that the parables of the Bible can be understood…

…”But the anointing which ye have received of Him abides in you,

and ye need not that any man teach you:

but as the same anointing teaches you of all things,

and is truth, and is no lie,

and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.”

Revelation 2:27

.

And so, this above verse reveals that God Himself, in the personage of the Holy Spirit is the great Revealer of Truth!

.

And indwelt with the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit, the Bible student will discover that the entire Book of Revelation is for the Church!

.

.

.

.

“I Jesus have sent mine angel

to testify unto you these things in the churches.”

Revelation 22:16

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

.

.

.

APOCALYPSE NOW!…

.

This sketch is of the Summer Constellations, when they are in the western skies.

.

Sagittarius is in the south, and the 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is in the north.

.

The purpose of this particular article is to establish what the Bible is speaking about, concerning the Seven Stars Constellation.

.

This amazing constellation represents the angels, i.e., God’s people in Seven Churches of Asia found in Revelation Chapters 2 & 3.

.

This constellation is pointing us also to the Seven Angels with the Seven Bowls of God’s wrath (Revelation, Chapters 15 & 16).

.

And also, these 7 stars represents the Seven Angels With The Seven Trumpets (Revelation 8:2, etc.).
