Part Three
When I last posted I was talking about the woman in the twelfth chapter of Revelation, which is the nation of Israel. Israel is the Lord’s Church and Jesus will become King of Israel as He was before (Luke 1:26-33). Jesus will sit on David’s throne and reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) for ever. For the Lord gave all His laws and statutes to Israel (Jews) and the promises, Romans 9:1-5.
God gave the job of teaching the rest of the sons of Adam about Him to the Israelites. Turn to Deuteronomy 7:6, Exodus 19:5-6. We see that the Lord told Israel: “If you obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me, and be above all people, and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, an holy nation".
So, you see Israel is called to be the priest to the rest of the sons of Adam. He gave no other nation His commandments; He only spoke to Israel. Psalms 147:19-20, tells us that He showed His word and His statutes to Israel (Jacob) and that He had not done so with any other nation.
Turn to Amos 3:1-2, which tells us that the Lord told Israel the whole family that He brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, “You only have I known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities, because I raised up your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites".
So, as you can see Israel was given the word that they would teach God’s Word to the rest of the families of the earth. No one ever pays attention to what Jesus told the woman at the well:
John 9:
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
To be continued….
Peace,
Brother Tyrone

I have been studying the Book of Revelations and often wonder why the Book is not preached upon in Churches. It is like they dance around Revelations. I personally enjoy reading it. It is a book of hope and promise for me. I love it and read it quite often. God bless you for writing about it. People need to know about the Book! It is awesome!
Great post, sis!
The woman is indeed Israel, but the Roman Catholic Church has distorted it to point to them... atrocious!

Isaiah,
This blog is administered by my brother, Tyrone, he does the writing but he does not type, nor use a computer, so I am his official data entry-ist (LOL), and I see that I failed to log in properly, that is why it was posted under my name.
My mistake, thank you for bringing my attention to it.
Peace
Oh, now I get it, lol!
Sorry for that. I'll remember that Bro. Tyrone is the man behind the posts. :)
