G.H. Pember’s Reference to the Man Child of Revelation 12

July 9, 2017 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

Many have mentioned  a reference connecting Revelation 12 to the Rapture of the Church In Pember’s book ‘Earth’s Earliest Ages’, but few have actually cited the passage, so here it is, found about 21 paragraphs into the chapter titled, ‘Signs of the End’.

“But of far more intense interest to those who love the Lord Jesus, and long for His appearing, is that which is signified as taking place just previously to the expulsion of the Devil and his angels from heaven (Rev. xii. 1-5). For without going into details, which we have considered elsewhere, we may mention our conclusion that the birth and rapture of the man child refer to the completion of the mystic Christ — of which the personal Christ is the Head and His Church the body — as manifested by the sudden translation of all waiting saints, whether dead or alive, to meet their Lord in the air.

It thus appears that this long-expected event will precede Satan’s banishment from heaven, and, therefore, also it’s results…and the revelation of the Man of Sin.  Like Enoch, the Church of Christ will be called away before earth is for a time abandoned to the Nephilim, before the fearful woes of the end.”

(Published in 1876  by Hodder and Stoughton )

It should be noted that G.H. Pember had no knowledge of the astronomical alignment set for September 23, 2017 which so closely parallels a literal reading of Revelation 12:1-6

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.

 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.  His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.  Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Billy Graham Says Watch for Convergence of Signs

October 20, 2013 By Bear Ian Leave a Comment

“There’s a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we’re to watch for and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we’re close to the end of the age. And those signs, in my judgment, are converging now for the first time since Jesus made those predictions.”

– Billy Graham, World Net Daily, 10/20/2013
