139 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 2 - Part 3 - Book 12 - Review - Satan Cast from Heaven

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 12 REVIEW - GENESIS TO REVELATION: ESCAPING REMNANTS: SATAN CAST FROM HEAVEN Now let's turn to Matthew Chapter 24, beginning with verse 15. Matthew 24:15 So Jesus is clearly defining that this event is what Daniel was talking about. After Anti-christ does this, he will immediately turn on the Jew. Jesus then says: Matthew 24:16 Matthew 24:17 Matthew 24:18 Matthew 24:19 Looking back at that cross-section, we have the older retired people, the working class people. Matthew 24:20 Now verse 21. Matthew 24:21 "For then (in other words from this point on. Matthew 24:22 So reading verse 22 in its entirety: Matthew 24:22 Let's leave Matthew and go to the Book of Revelation Chapter 6 again. In an earlier lesson in Chapter 6, we were looking at the seals. I pointed out in the past several lessons, these seals are nothing more than a triggering mechanism for events in time. First the white horse, the symbolism of the coming of the Anti-christ. The red horse, I think is the symbolism of the Russian invasion of Israel. The pale horse, the symbolism for famine and diseases of this time. I want you to see now that this 6th seal is at the mid-point of the Tribulation. Revelation 6:12 "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;" We will pick up the intervening verses at a later time, but now come all the way down to verse 17. Remember, there will be this great earthquake here at the mid-point. Revelation 6:17 "For the great day of his wrath is come:..." Maybe for a short while the Anti-christ is going to seem to have everything under control. Now come over to Chapter 11 in Revelation. Refer to our study of the two witnesses a few lessons ago, in this Chapter and in verse 3? Revelation 11:3 Revelation 11:11a,12 Revelation 11:13 remnant were affrighted (God's got their attention now), and gave glory to the God of heaven." Now, according to this verse, even though they give glory to God (and remember they are religious, they've been practicing temple worship now for 3 1/2 years), have they recognized The Christ? No! So I maintain that this remnant under the thumb and protection of their almighty God, will flee to the mountain, but as yet in unbelief. Revelation 12:1 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Now all through the Old Testament, and including the twelve stars of Joseph's dream, the symbolism is Israel. Now verse 2: Revelation 12:2 "Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given." Who's the woman? Israel! When the Christ child was born in Bethlehem. Revelation 12:3 Revelation 12:4 What did Satan try to do to the Christ child when He was born in Bethlehem. Kill Him! Revelation 12:5 "And she brought forth a man child, (Christ. Now here in verse 6 we leap time again to the mid-point of the Tribulation. Revelation 12:6 Now think of the exodus from Egypt, when God brought Israel out of Egypt and brought Israel to Himself, what did He do for them for forty years? Now to verse 13. This is all at the mid-point of the Tribulation: Revelation 12:13 "And when the dragon (or Satan) saw that he was cast unto the earth (which took place in the previous verses) he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child." Revelation 12:14 "And to the woman (this escaping remnant of Jews) were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time (one year), and times (two years), and half a time (total of 3 1/2 years), from the face of the serpent." I want you see the analogy of Israel coming out of Egypt and the fleeing remnant coming out of Jerusalem to this place prepared of God for that final 3 1/2 years. Exodus 19:3,4 "And Moses went up unto God (in Mount Sinai), and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, `Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.'" What did God use? Eagles' wings. What does Revelation say? They were given two wings of a great eagle. Let me remind you... did the Jews sprout wings and fly out of Egypt. Supernaturally, Sovereign God is going to bring this remnant of Jews that are going to be saved. Verses 15 & 16: Now verse 17. When that happens, word gets back to the Anti-christ in Jerusalem, that his armed force was totally destroyed and the Jews went on into a place of safety. "And the dragon (Anti-christ and Satan are synonymous now) was wroth (angry) with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed (now watch what remnant this is), which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
