Wednesday, November 8: “True Light Birthed”

“True Light Birthed”

Revelation 12: 1: “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.”

You won’t find many scriptures more light-oriented than this one! Sun, moon, and stars are all here, representing–what? Any rationally-minded and Spirit-enlightened person reading the rest of this chapter will see the woman represents the seed of Jacob, God’s people, bringing to the world its Messiah. But the woman’s story is not over! She is shown here being protected for one thousand two hundred and sixty days … forty-two months … three and a half years … all figures expressing exactly half of a perfect seven, symbolic of the complete plan of God. The current apostacy of Israel is only half of the story. She is being protected until the time of her “re-grafting” (Romans 11: 23) comes. She who gave birth to the True Light will eventually see the True Light–along with every other nation (Psalm 117: 1, 2).
