Section 14 The gospel about Revelation

In the given section the attention to the prophetical words of the Lord which are available in the Gospel is paid. 1) it is readable Mat.2:13-15. The story which has been written down here, speaks about prosecution by the Herod of the born Baby and about flight to Egypt. It close adjoins to the contents of 12th chapter of the book of Revelation and serves as its prototype. So, the born Baby was saved for the Herod and was in Egypt till his death. The woman of 12th chapter of Revelation has escaped into the wilderness, - that is equivalent of the flight into Egypt. In the Revelation book under Egypt is meant the city of Jerusalem which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified, Rev.11:8. Prophet Zechariah too says that under the wilderness understood Israel, Zech.7:14. So, flight of the woman will be into Israel where a place of God for 1260 days is prepared for her, Rev.12:6. Additional details of flight:

1. The instructions on necessity of flight are received in a dream, from the Angel, Mat.2:13;

2. In the end of flight term the persecutor of the Baby, the Herod, Mat.2:15 has died. Following this image, when 1260 days of flight of the woman will end, then will come the end of her persecutor (i.e. antichrist).

3. The flight beginning - at night, Mat.2:14.

4. Rather angered Herod sends to slay all the children in the birthplace of the Baby, in Bethlehem (in 2 years after their birth, or it is little bit less). This event serves as a prototype for described in Rev.12:13, 15, 17 and 12:4 (second half of the verse). Here it is a question about war of a dragon (that is Antichrist) against the saints.

5. About the place prepared of God «in the wilderness» where there will be the woman, it is well told by prophet Micah, 7:13-15: this place will be Carmel, Bashan and Gilead.

In another way also it is possible to name flight of the woman “a Departing” (certainly, it is a question about new, of the future Departing, instead of that was once in Egypt). 2) We Read the Gospel According to St. Luke, 17:28 where it about it is told very clearly. Here it is told about a life which there will live the world before arrival of the Son of man. It is told about Lot, that the story, similar happened to Lot, will repeat in Coming of the Lord. Sense of verses 29 and 30 that destruction for the world will come after believers leave the world environment, similarly as the Lot went out of Sodom. Under destruction is understood a rain fiery and brimstone. « And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all », Luke.17:26,27. These words of the true Prophet and the Lord speak about the future judgment of the Lord in day of his arrival (it is to tell better « in the days of his arrival », see Luke.17:26). Told by the Lord means that the story similar happened to Noe will repeat in our days. Thus, it is clearly testified, that the world will live the life about that day as the chosen people of God will take cover for wrath, similarly as Noe in the ark. They will find a refuge in that place which is prepared for them of God, Rev.12:6. As it has been shown above, this place is in Israel. But of whom the chosen people of God will consist? Whether there will be those only Jews or the mentioned Departing concerns and Christians of pagans? The theme of this question is concerned by such places of the Holy Writ as Jer.23:1, 50:6; Ezek.34:2 and about ten others. Let's consider these places of the Writings:

1. In Jer.50:6 words «My people» are understood as the children of Israel and the children of Judah together. As the Christ sprang out of Judah tribe there is an impression, that here it is question as well about Christians (anyway, such thought is not excluded).

2. The verse from Is.40:11 dates according to time at Arrival of the Lord. At that time to preach the gospel of the Christ there will be Zion, the verse 9 see. So, the flock of the Lord God is Zion which at that time will be in Jerusalem.

3. Prophet Ezekiel (37:24, 25) speaks about unity of two people, Judah and all Israel, and «David shall be their prince for ever». Prophet Ezekiel prophesied in 400 years after death of King David and consequently could not foretell that has already passed for a long time. Therefore the given prediction concerns the 1000-year Kingdom of the Christ when David will be indeed the king for ever. That is, it is a question in the given prophecy not only about ancient Jews, but also about Christians of last time, by which become Israelis.

4. Prophet Isaiah (56: 6) says, that sons of the stranger the Lord WILL bring to holy mountain and make ALL PEOPLE joyful in the House of prayer (such House will be in the 1000-year Kingdom and there will be it in Israel). The mention of the house of prayer specifies in earthly conditions. 8th and 9th verses say, that the Lord will gather (to Israel) not only the outcasts Israelis, but also beasts of the field and in the forest (that is every creature, Mark, 16:15 see), strangers (Christians of pagans). «Yet will I gather others to him (to Israelis) », Is.56:8. The same is told and in the Gospel of John, that Jesus has died «not for that (Israeli) nation only, but that also he should gather in one the children of God that were scattered abroad», John.11:52. These places of the Holy Writ speak just about creation of one fold, that about which He has told: « And there shall be one fold, and one shepherd », John.10:16. Watchmen of pagans and their shepherds all are senseless, that cannot understand - speaks further Isaiah in 11th verse. The mention of senseless pastors also specifies in earthly conditions. Thus, the meeting of Christians of Jews and Christians of Gentiles (that is the meeting of the elect, see Mat.24:31) will occur on a holy mountain of God, in Israel. In the light of the seen places (especially of 56th chapter of the book of the Prophet Isaiah) the conclusion about unity of Christians of Jews and Christians of Gentiles in last days finds the firm foundation.

Both Old, and the New testament confirm, that (new) Departing of the God’s people (or flight of the woman) will occur air by, Is.60:8, Rev.12:14, etc. Here we read that «two wings of a great eagle» have been given to the woman. At once there is a question: the great eagle is who? 17th chapter of the book of the Prophet Ezekiel has the direct relation to the given question. Assorting this chapter, we have the whole dictionary of prophetical images. Here under the pretext of «the great eagle» the king of Babylon is understood. Thus the great wings of an eagle specify in its mighty army (compare a verse 7 to a verse 17 same chapter). As it is visible further from the text, long feathers of an eagle are the strong people making its kingdom. The wooliness of an eagle designates large number of the people in its (Babylonian) kingdom. Thus diversity of an eagle speaks about those various people unlike against each other over which Babylon reigns and which are parts of its kingdom. The further images of chapter 17th of the book of the Prophet Ezekiel and their meaning it is that: the seed land is the land of Israel, Èåç.17:5, 22, 23; a spreading vine - was in the beginning a willow, Ezek.17:5, has become a spreading vine, Ezek.17:6, and it is a rod of Babylon in the land Israeli. The cedar is a kingdom, the country (people). Another eagle – is the king Egyptian, the Pharaoh (about this eagle it is told, that it is great also). The word "eagle" is meant in a general sense by "king". As the feather is made of separate fuzzes so the tribe or the nation is made of separate people. So, the Departing of Christians and Jews will be carried out air by, and air vessels necessary for it (air fleet) will be given by the king of Babylon (new Babylon last time means). In summary we will talk about time in which this great God’s affair will be made. Flight of the woman will be from the face of the serpent, Rev.12:14, that is from the face of antichrist which at that time will appear. Antichrist (and his army – in this case the fallen angels) will appear after the trumpet of 5th Angel, Rev.9:1. Certainly, antichrist will try to pass himself off as the God, 2Thes.2:4 and his angels will pass themselves off as holy God’s Angels. Its angels are that "locusts" that is mentioned in Rev.9:5 and which power of 5 months. After five these months those 1260 days of flight of the woman «in wilderness» also will begin, that are mentioned in Rev.12:6. The author of this book expects the beginning of these days not earlier than the middle of 2014. About flying away of the people of God in wilderness it is perfectly told at Prophet Isaiah, 40:31: «But they that wait upon the Lord … shall mount up with wings as eagles».
