If you are anticipating our possible rapture this Easter weekend, there is an interesting sign in the sky, Saturday, April 16 nightfall: https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-april-15-23-2/ "SATURDAY, APRIL 16 ■ Full Moon (exactly full at 2:55 p.m. EDT). At nightfall, the Moon is in the dim feet of Virgo. Revelation 12:1 It is also the full moon at this time. Psalm 81:3 Also interesting for the same day is that Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Saturn form a straight line this day, which is unusual. Jupiter's "currently 12° from Venus. The two are closing in on each other; they will shine just ½° apart on the mornings of April 30th and May 1st." Jupiter is the king planet and represents God, while Venus represents Jesus. Revelation 22:16 Outstanding! Hopefully this portends our soon departure! All of creation is groaning for His return and I think all of creation including the stars in the heavens is trying to scream at us that we are not going back to “normal” ever again but the “new normal” we should be getting used to is that indeed He is at the door and is coming soon. unfortunately I think there have been sooooo many signs in the heavens beginning with the fascination with the blood moons about 7 years ago that the masses have become numb to them and even many Christians yawn when a new sign is seen in the heavens. Watching is not easy because it requires eyes to see, ears to hear and staying awake when the rest of the world yawns and says nothing to see here, move along. everyone does not get the watching crown, it’s not a “participation trophy” so thanks for calling this to our attention, just one more witness to keep us alert and keep us from getting sleepy! Again, may the Lord bless every heart turned towards Christ! TR I’m trying to understand the Revelation 12 sign this weekend and how it pertains to the church and the rapture possibly this weekend??? I don’t get it? Because isn’t Revelation Chapter 12 all about what occurs at mid point of the tribulation: The woman is Israel NOT the church The male child is Jesus There is war in heaven … and Satan falls with 1/3 of demons from heaven and they no longer have access to “visit” the 3rd heaven nor can they live in the 2nd heaven (on other planets, etc.) they all fall down to the earth to dwell and then its woe …to the inhabitants of the earth … and satan enters into the AC … And the woman (Israel) flees into the wilderness (Petra)
The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
New King James Version
3 Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon,
At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
