REFLECTING THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL: Revelation 1:20 " The mystery of the Seven Stars..." These Stars are the Seven Angels. Verse 20 "...These Seven Stars which you saw in my right hand..." The Seven Stars are the Angels of the Seven Churches in ASIA. NEWW 173...
These seven ANGELS are not the Ministering Angles of God in Heaven. The Ministering Angels in Heaven cannot repent: only Mankind can repent of sin. Only a Humans can repent and be redeemed. The Seven Stars that could repent, were the Seven Pastors of the Seven Churches in Asia at that time. The reason they are Pastors, and not angels in Heaven, they could repent. The Angels in heaven, which are not HUMAN they cannot repent. AND NOW WE WILL GO TO THE SEVEN STARS, AND SEVEN CROWNS. As in Revelation 12:1" And their appeared a great wonder in Heaven a Woman clothed with the SUN. (Revelation 12:2 "And she being with child cried, travailing in birth. She is in pain ready to be delivered."
The Child was Jesus at Birth. The Woman was the Old Testament Church. The Church, as it went from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Those that were travailing they were the Old Testament believers: the Church. The Children of Israel were the Old Testament believers at that time. The Old Testament believers yearned and longing travailing. They travailed, and looked for the Messiah, which was Jesus Christ. Looking for the Messiah which was Christ at birth. The Jews missed seeing Christ coming at his Birth. They missed Christ because they were looking in the wrong direction. They were looking for Christ to come seated on the Throne of David.
THE SYMBOLIC HEAVENS: Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in Heaven. Behold a great Red dragon, having seven heads... and seven Crowns upon his Heads." The Heavens are symbolic, meaning as in Ephesians. Ephesians 1:3 " Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings. He blesses us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Jesus Christ." God uses the Heavens symbolically for the Church in comparison. For instance the Elects are used symbolically for the Heavens, as in Revelation. Revelation 12:12 " Therefore rejoice, you Heavens..." The Heavens are used symbolically here, meaning: the Children of God.
NOW WE WILL GO TO THE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL: Revelation 12:1 " And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven. This Woman was clothed with the Sun." The Heavens here are symbolic, as in Ephesians. Ephesians 1:3 " GOD Who have blessed us with all Spiritual blessings. Blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Jesus Christ." Revelation 12:12 " Therefore rejoice, you Heavens, and yea holy apostils. The Sun Is Symbolic, meaning: the Light of the Gospel. 1 Thessalonians 5:5 "You are all the Children of Light, and the Children of the Day. We are not of the Night, or of the Darkness." As in Matthew. Matthew 5:15 " Neither do men light a candle, nor put it under a bushel. They put it on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house."
THE MOON IS NOT THE BODY OF THE CHURCH NOR THE BODY OF CHRIST BUT A REFLECTION OF THE WHOLE BODY OF THE CHURCH. The MOON is like a mirror that reflects the lives of Gods Elects. reflecting the lives of Gods Elect unto the Children of the Night. The Moon reflects the whole Body of Jesus Christ. The Moon is a reflection of the Body of Christ Every member of Christ as a whole reflecting our light unto the Sinners the Children of the night. Revelation 12:1 "... A Woman clothed with the Sun, and the Moon under her feet..." Symbolically the Woman is the Body of Christ. We have to let our Light Shine with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:16 " Let your light so shine before men. We are not of the Night, nor of darkness." 2 Corinthians 4:3 " But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost." 2 Corinthians 4:4 " In whom the god of this world have blinded the minds of them which believe not. Jesus is the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.
