In this week’s study, I start continue in Chapter 12 verses 5 to 7.
5. man-child = Greek, “a son, a male.” On the deep significance of this term, re-read verses 1 and 2
rule = Greek, “poimainein,” “tend as a shepherd”; (see on Rev. 2:27). The word “rule” is important because in the original language it carries with it the idea of destruction. It is the idea of “destroying” and, indeed, the messianic kingdom, when the Lord returns will destroy all other kingdoms. His kingdom alone will dominate the world. His rod of justice is one of iron. It will not be broken.
rod of iron = A rod is for long-continued determination until they submit themselves to obedience
Beginning with verse 6 I ask the question, Is this verse speaking of 2 events? An event of the past and an event of the future?
6. woman fled = We recall the Virgin Mary’s flight with Yahshua Messiah into Egypt is a type of this event.
In our charts that we have been creating along in this study, I have a chart titled “Wrath of Satan”. Contained in this chart I have listed 10 verses and 5 events.
prepared of God = literally, “from Yahweh.”
they should feed her = Greek, “nourish her.” Indefinite for, “she should be fed.”
7. And there was war in heaven = keep in mind that we are now discussing a supernatural battle! Listen to how Henry Alford explains this, ‘(we now enter upon a mysterious series of events in the world of spirits, with regard to which merely fragmentary hints are given us in the Scriptures.
1. Suppression of all religion, including all communions and doctrines which could not be subjected as tools for illuminism.
2. Suppression of all Sentiments of nationality and - in the long term - abolition of all nations and introduction of an illuministic world government.
3. Successive transference of all private and national property into the hands of the Illuminati. The methods through which to accomplish this were new taxation laws, which illuministic officials were to introduce. Weishaupt's original plans also included a progressive income tax and an even more confiscatory inheritance tax.
4. An all-encompassing espionage and accusation system with the "insinuating brothers" as prototype. The symbol of this was the all-seeing eye, an eye within a pyramid, which was the illuministic symbol of power. It was also known as "the evil eye", which symbolized Osiris. This symbol originated from the Brotherhood of the Serpent (Dragon) of ancient Egypt, at the same time proclaiming Lucifer as wisdom incarnate. And finally:
5. A global moral rule, a complete standardization of the innermost will, wishes and aspirations of all peoples beneath "the one will", the will of the Illuminati. This is symbolized by olive branches. These five rules are also denoted by the five-pointed star of freemasonry.
The secret code of the Illuminati is 666. The code number of King Solomon was also 666. Every year he demanded 666 talents of gold (I Kings 10:14). The design of his throne incorporated the code 666. The tale of Solomon is the basis for masonic magic. The Illuminati simply wanted to abolish all forms of ordered government, patriotism, religion and the family to finally set up a world government. Righteous people would never work for such an abhorrent program, so the "ordinary" Illuminati were filled with fair phrases about love, charity and such which we call "ideology" today.
