THE FAITHFUL BRIDE OF CHRIST HIS CHURCH.
Please share this lesson with your family, friends, Facebook pages, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD.
Jesus symbolizes His true church (daughter of ZionJeremiah 6:2) as a pure woman and the false, apostate churches as a harlot. (See 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:22, 23; and Isaiah 51:16).
In Revelation 12:1, Jesus symbolizes His church as a woman “clothed with the sun,” with “the moon under her feet,” and wearing “a crown of twelve stars.” What do these symbols mean?
ANSWER: The sun represents Jesus, His gospel, and His righteousness. “The Lord God is a sun” (Psalm 84:11). (See also Malachi 4:2.) Without Jesus there is no salvation (Acts 4:12). More than anything else, Jesus wants His church to overflow with His presence and glory.
“The moon under her feet” represents the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. As the moon reflects the light of the sun, so the sacrificial system was helpful spiritually only as it reflected light from the Messiah to come (Hebrews 10:1).
The “crown of twelve stars” represents the work of the 12 disciples, which crowned the early years of the New Testament church.
Many denominations call themselves Christian. Does that make them God's true church?
Isaiah 4:1. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own BREAD and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
NOTE:
Bread is a symbol of the Word of God (John 6:35, 51, 52, 63), and apparel is a symbol of righteousness (Revelation 19:8).
The seven women in this prophecy have their own bread (concept of truth) and want to keep their own clothing (righteousness). They do not want the spotless robes of Christ's righteousness.
All they want is to take the name of Jesus, probably because the Bible says, "There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12.
What specifications has God given in His Word to help us positively identify His end-time church?
REVELATION 12:17. AND THE DRAGON WAS WROTH WITH THE WOMAN, AND WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF HER SEED, WHICH KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST.
(Just a little, personal observation here. Do you notice that he ( the dragon) is not wroth (angry) with those who do not keep the commandments of God, and that's because those who don't belong to him.
1. It will appear and do its visible work after it emerges from the wilderness in 1798 (Revelation 12:6, 13-17).
2. It will teach the same truths the apostles taught, and all of its teachings will agree with the Bible (Revelation 12:17).
3. It will keep the Ten Commandments, including the Bible Sabbath (Revelation 12:17).
4. It will have the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 12:17; 19:10).
5. It will proclaim God's three end-time messages with a loud voice (Revelation 14:6-14).
6. It will be a worldwide movement (Revelation 14:6).
7. It will teach the everlasting gospel, which is salvation through Jesus Christ alone (Revelation 14:6).
NOTE:
Many lovely Christians are members of churches that do not meet the above seven specifications. However, no such church can be God's remnant into which He is calling all His sincere children, because His end-time church must meet all seven specifications.
Jesus gives you these seven prophetic identification points and then says, "Go and find My church." What does He promise regarding your search?
Luke 11:9. Seek, and ye shall FIND.
How many church organizations in the world will fit these seven points?
Ephesians 4:5. One Lord, one Faith, one baptism.
NOTE:
Only one church in the entire world fits all seven of these specifications, the SEVENTH - DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, which is bringing you these messages. It is right now preaching the great three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-12 all over the world. And millions are responding.
