A great revival:
Will be the WORMWOOD star PROPHECY a sign for the Last Revival (Awakening)?
Matthew 25:1,2
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.”
Before “at that time” (Matthew 25:1) the situation of “Christianity” (all denomination, including Pentecostals, Baptists, Adventists, Bible Students and Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc.) is:
Matthew 25:5
“The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.”
Than, in the end time, a general calling for a great revival:
Matthew 25:6
“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’”
Revelation 18:4-6
“Then I heard another voice from heaven say:
“Come out of her, my people,
so that you will not share in her sins,
so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
for her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her crimes.
Give back to her as she has given;
pay her back double for what she has done.
Mix her a double portion from her own cup.”
Other evidence for the last reformation:
Revelation 12:14
"The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert (wilderness YLT), where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach."
Some so called catholic reformers, and many of their followers hated the book of Revelation, because they don't understand it. Martin Luther also hate this book for a few years (later he accepted), because was not so called "Christ centered". But all that people who love this book, even if do not understand clear it, will understand it clear, in the due time of the last reformation.
This book speak about the end time prophecies and about two "women":
Revelation 12:14
"The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness (compare with Mark 1:2,3), where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent's reach."
Revelation 17:1-6
"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great pr******te, who sits on many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.”
Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert (wilderness YLT). There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus."
Who is this two women from Revelation? Is two literal female persons? Or is just symbols for something else?
Let's see:
Isaiah 54:5,6
"For your Maker is your husband—
Jehovah Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
Jehovah will call you back
as if you were a women deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected,” says your God.
We see here, that a women could be a symbol for a large group of peoples.
In the book of Revelation exist two "city" or groups of people.
1. Babylon the great
Revelation 17:5,18
"This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(...)
The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
2. New Jerusalem
Revelation 21:1,2
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."
Now, the question is, are this cities real cities or just symbols?
Babylon the great couldn't be a literal city, because is written:
Revelation 18:24
"In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."
Also, the New Jerusalem is not a literal city, because the New Jerusalem is a symbol for the wife of the Lamb, and the wife of the Lamb is a symbol of the true Christians:
Revelation 21:9,10
"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God."
The first city is a symbol of worldwide faith group. All human decision are motivated by faith, and faith could be wrong or true. The firs faith group is inspired by the Devil and false faith are the ruler of the whole world. The second city is a symbol for another faith group, who will rule in the future on the Earth.
So, the "city" represent a group of people. In one case, one of the city is depicted like "Holy City":
Revelation 21:2
"I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."
Revelation 21:9-11
"One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal."
Revelation 11:1
"I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the Holy City for 42 months."
Here we have:
The "Holy City" = "the bride, the wife of the Lamb"
The "Holy City" is a symbol for a large group of people, and of course the "temple of God" with it's "outer court" is also symbols. What represent this symbols?
Revelation 11:1,2
"I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the Holy City for 42 months."
The outer court of the Holy Temple represent the end time saints.
