SEVEN SIGNS (2-2): THE MAN CHILD'S ASCENSION (REVELATION 12:5-6)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Revelation  

a) John wrote Revelation while a prisoner on the Island of Patmos, approximately 85-95 A.D. Its purpose is to give encouragement and hope for all Christians to continue watching for the return and triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ. It also is to warn of the Final Judgment that nonbelievers will endure on that Last Day.

b) John wrote that Revelation is special because,“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near” (Revelation 1:3).

c) A brief view of the Book of Revelation. It gives you some basic understanding of the book of Revelation. 

2. The Male Child, Christ

Revelation 12:5-6  
5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

3. The Man Child’s Ascension

Revelation 12:5-6

a) The dragon pursues the Christ-child into heaven. The woman flees into the wilderness where God nurtures her for 1260 days. This period is 42 months, or three and a half years, which represent times of tribulation.

The End ...
