Revelation 12 and the heretical 'manifest sons of god' teaching

Sorry I have not posted for awhile.  Busy finishing school and a few other projects.  I start my new job next week so not sure how much time I will have to post although it won't be as long for the next one (Yahweh has already given me a few post He wants me to write about)

Many people are getting excited by the "Revelation 12 sign" that is said to be happening on september 23 of this year.  This is the same false teaching that has been in the church for decades - re-wrapped and re-packaged to deceive more people.

Before ihop (the heretical international house of prayer) and it's related NAR (new apostolic reformation), there was an organization called the "Kansas City Prophets" (KCP) of which the same people involved in ihop, including ihop founder Mike Bickle, were part of. 

The KCP promoted William Branham (who taught the satanic serpent seed doctrine which is rising in acceptance), Joel's Army, and the "manifest sons of god" false teachings.  While I could write a book on the other heretical teachings of these people and the history of how they morphed from the KCP to ihop and NAR (I've posted some about this in the past) this post will focus on the widely popular and believed 'manifest sons of god' heretical teaching.

Astrology is forbidden by Yahweh.  Astrology is predicting events based on the position of the sun, moon, and stars. Yahweh has stated even if some of these predictions come to pass, those that teach them are false prophets because they are leading you to follow after other "gods" and He is using it as a test to see who really loves Him and who will forsake Him to run after the false prophets and their false "gods".  Astronomy is the studying of the sun/moon/stars to find out more about them - not using them as divination to find out what is going to happen (which is what astrology does)

Deuteronomy 13
1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 

The difference between astrology and between the sun, moon, stars being signs is that astrology uses the heavenly bodies to predict future events while a sign is something that happens without being able to predict it.  Most who love their ears tickled by false prophecies believe that signs can be predicted in the future.  Two examples of a sign in the heavenly bodies that was not able to be predicted by looking at the astrological charts was when the sun stood still for Joshua and when the sun moved back ten degrees

Joshua 10
12  Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13  And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14  And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

Isaiah 38
7  And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
8  Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. 

(okay as much as I'm tempted I will not go off on a tangent and write about geocentricism and flat earth - another post later)

These were signs that were not prophesied and that were not able to be predicted by looking at the heavenly bodies - they were a TRUE sign.  Modern day events in the heavens that could be signs were the hurricanes that occurred after the U.S. caused Israel to give up land or recently where the UK was struck by 100,000 lightning strikes - (possible) signs but not anything that could have been predicted by astrological charts.

The KCP (and then its offspring ihop and NAR) has its roots in modern times in 1946-1948 during the William Branham healing "revivals".  William Branham claimed to be the end time "Elijah" after an angel visited him in 1946 and also taught and believed the satanic serpent seed doctrine (claiming the Jewish people were physical descendants of Eve and satan) which is gaining in popularity today with the likes of such popular "pastors" as the late Arnold Murray (Shepherd's Chapel), Texe Marrs, and now the widely popular demon possessed Steven L. Anderson.  Not surprisingly those who hold to this satanic serpent seed doctrine are among those who also hold to the other teachings that came from William Branham such as Joel's Army as well as the 'manifest sons of god; which this article is about.

The word faith teachers claim they are "little gods, small 'g' " and Kenneth Copeland said "cats have kittens, dogs have puppies, so what does God have?  Little 'small g' gods".  This came from William Branham and his teachings about the 'manifest sons of god' heretical doctrine.

First the passage in question:

Revelation 12
1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

The woman is not the church.  The church is called the virgin bride of Yeshua so how is she pregnant?  There was only one virgin birth and that was Mary giving birth to Messiah Yeshua.   The church had not been formed yet therefore could not be the virgin who gave birth. This shows Mary came from Israel / the twelve tribes and, as a virgin,  gave birth to Messiah Yeshua.  satan tried to murder Yeshua shortly after His birth when he had all the babies in Bethlehem murdered.  Messiah was crucified and resurrected.  During the tribulation, the woman - symbolizing Israel- will hide in a place Yahweh provided for them (most believe will be Petra) 

Reading scripture, the stars, sun, and moon were given in a dream to Joseph.

Genesis 37:9  And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Notice that in his dream, he was shown 11 stars not 12.  Where was the other star?  He, Joseph, was of course the other star.

Here in 2017, a widely popular false teaching that tickle peoples ears is that in Revelation 12 the woman is the church as well as that the manchild ("Jesus IN us") is the also the church and when the manchild is caught up, it is the rapture and they use astrology to "prove" this event will happen on september 23, 2017.  Those promoting this false teaching claims that the "man child is the church and where He is caught up proves the rapture.  Since this "sign" occurs on september 23, 2017, they claim that will be the date of the rapture.  They claim this sign "has not happened in 2000 years" further bolstering their prophecy yet the same false prophets had videos of the same "sign" 2-3 years ago and claimed it was "proof the rapture was going to happen that year" which, of course, it did not happen.  This heresy is not new even though Scotty Clarke and those whose ears have been tickled with this lie believes it is something new he discovered.

THIS IS ASTROLOGY AND IS NOT FOR YAHWEH'S PEOPLE

Those who hold to the heretical replacement theology false doctrines (of which serpent seed is the most demonic form) of course claim the woman is "the church" because their entire false belief system claims the church has replaced Israel!  They have to hold to this false
doctrine to justify their heretical replacement theology beliefs.


Here are two heretical sites and what they say Revelation 12 means.  As you can see, this false teaching is not new - it is the same teaching that now has astrology yoked to it:

Reference (heretical doctrine)

The "man child" being birthed in Revelation chapter 12 is Jesus the Christ - only it is "Christ IN us." Christ's Bride is a many membered body. Likewise, the child (or children) whom she births represents a many membered body. The creation eagerly waits for the revealing of these sons of God because they will manifest Jesus Himself. Jesus alone is the only glory that is worth eagerly waiting for. Anything that comes from us is less than worthless; it is dangerous, because the flesh is always in conflict with the Spirit. Even heresy (false doctrine) is listed as a "work of the flesh" which is far from harmless, because it ends up bringing bondage and death.

I will try not to plow the same ground twice, but the woman clothed in the sun is the Church in general, although not necessarily everything out there that calls itself the Church. She is made up of blood-washed, Spirit-baptized, called-out-ones who know no King but Christ. This Virgin Church, which has not known a man nor been implanted with man's "seed," is pregnant with a small remnant of those in whom Christ is coming to fullness.
-------------------------------
    The child which she brings forth is the Manchild company who are birthed into a higher realm, just as the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a higher realm than that of simply justification. The portion into which this body of people is birthed is that of the Spirit without measure; whereas the baptism of the Holy Spirit has been "according to the measure of every part." 
(this sounds new age)

This "Revelation 12 sign" is the same as the heretical 'manifest sons of god' teaching that is part of the Great Apostasy of ihop/NAR, Bethel-Redding, Hillsong, the word faith movement, etc.  It is not of Yahweh.  Messiah Yeshua said NO ONE KNOWS THE DAY OR THE HOUR and Yahweh does not honor those who DISOBEY and use astrology to try and find out what Messiah Yeshua said NO ONE KNOWS.  Those who claim to belong to Messiah Yeshua and are "doing things for Him" and are not OBEYING Yahweh are in danger of being cast into the lake of fire.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquityG458

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

Note:
Verse 21 says the only ones doing Yahweh's will (IE: obeying the law) will enter heaven
Verse 22 says many will claim to be doing works and great things "For Yeshua" (in context, they are surprised - they were left behind)
Verse 23 says Messiah Yeshua will cast them off as unbelievers because they did not OBEY YAHWEH

Even if the september 23 prophecy comes to pass (it won't), Deuteronomy 13 says the it is a test because the false prophets are leading to a false "god" not revealed in scripture.  IF it happens (it won't) then the false prophets and their followers will be left behind and, of course, they will have an explanation and believe The Lie because they will refuse to believe it was the rapture since THEY are still here!

Scripture warns of Great Apostasy and deception in the last days.  satan knows time is short and he will do everything he can to repackage the same old lies ("ye will be like God") to deceive those who would rather have their ears tickled than follow and obey Messiah Yeshua.  Many infiltrators have been allowed inside of congregations / fellowships that are destroyed from within.  Many others will follow after false prophets and fall away then bring many others down the same broad road as they are on. Time to repent is now - we have very little time left whether it is before september 23 or sometime after it.  Judgment on the U.S. is about to strike and we may be judged before the rapture so the time to repent is NOW before it is too late not wait until before the date a false prophet conjured up with their astrology.
