The DRAGON then BIRTH!

Gary of Unsealed.org pointed out something about the Revelation 12:1-2 celestial alignment that should have occurred to me before now, but here it is:

Keep in mind that the Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-2 is of a woman in labor, not the birth of the male child.  The birth doesn't occur until verse 5.  These dates, like the rest of this research, are speculative, but consider:

Conception: 12/23/16

Woman in labor (The Great Sign): 9/23/17 - 9/24/17

Birth of the male child: 10/13/17

According to Micah 5:3 the dispensational change between the Church Age and the Tribulation doesn't occur until the woman gives birth (the corporate male child), thus September 23rd didn't mark the change in dispensation - it only marked the nearness to the ultimate event: the rapture of the Church. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

The Dragon makes its appearance BEFORE the birth of the male child in verse 5!! IF my research and harmony of the Scriptures is correct, then we have NOT YET SEEN the second wonder of Revelation 12!

Conception

I am in agreement with Gary that the ‘conception’ of the Revelation 12 man child occurred sometime around December 23, 2016—during Hanukkah—The Season of Light! 

It makes sense that the conception of the man child (which I believe represents those who will rule the nations with the Messiah as He promised in Revelation 2:26-27) would follow the same pattern as the Head, for Scriptural and astronomical evidence indicates that Jesus was conceived around that season as well.

December 23, 2016 was also the date of the historic anti-Israel resolution 2334 that was approved by the United Nations Security Council, which demanded that God's land be divided. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

Woman in Labor

Originally, I and many others speculated that The Tribulation would begin when the September 23-24 celestial alignment occurred. This was not the case, obviously; but I still believe that alignment was the Revelation 12:1-2 Great Wonder and that it is still a sign that Jacob’s Trouble/The Tribulation will soon begin.

The Great Red Dragon

Cris Putnam writes on page 129 of the book On the Path of the Immortals:

Notice that this ultimate Great Red Dragon has seven heads, just like the Leviathan of the Canaanites. However, the same text sheds light on several mysteries. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”( Revelation 12:9)…In one fell swoop, John has connected the dragon to the Nachash, “the shining one” who deceived Eve in the garden, to Diablos,” the slanderer,” to Satan, “the adversary,” and identifies the sum total as one being consigned to terrorize the earth during the Great Tribulation.

As we argued in chapter 1, the most consistent view with the whole counsel of God is that the angelic war culminating in Satan’s demotion to earth is a future event. Amazon.com link

According to the order presented in Revelation 12, it appears that the Dragon/Satan must first take one-third of the Stars/Fallen Angels and cast them down BEFORE the birth of the man child:

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. - Revelation 12:3 KJV

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. - Revelation 12:4 KJV

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. - Revelation 12:5 KJV

OR the displacement of Satan and his horde may occur almost simultaneously with the birth of the man child (i.e., the rapture of the Overcomers) as I have written before with the transformed sons of God rising as the angels fall.

So where is the Dragon? Has it appeared yet or not?

I believe that many if not all of the events foretold in the Book of Revelation will unfold as spiritual AND physical manifestations. The physical manifestation of the Dragon I speculate may be Planet X/Nibiru and its orbiting system.  

Starting at about the 20-minute mark in his Red Planet with 3 Orbiting Moons video, Jeff P gives photographic evidence of Planet X and three of its orbiting bodies. He also explains how there is a lens array being used to hide Planet X and shows evidence of how it works. Steve Olson has additional evidence at WSO Proof of Planet X and System Hiding It.

David Meade's original hypothesis was that Planet X would arrive by November 2017 (Nibiru Will Pass Earth Before November 2017). I believe Nibiru is real but the date it will begin to bring real chaos to the Earth is conjecture. It is noteworthy, however, that David Meade’s timing is within the window Unsealed is referring to for the birth of the man child (October 13). The Sixth Seal is the most likely time associated with the destruction of this incoming planetary system. (For more information related to this go to Time to Save With Fear.)

Birth/Rapture

Scripture shows that the rapture does occur prior to the Tribulation. To better understand how the Church Bride will be caught up before the travail of the woman in Revelation 12, you will want to watch Alan Horvath’s two videos: The Most Comprehensive Rapture Update andKar Giver's Bonus Rapture Update 2017. He and Kar Giver explain how Scripture prophesies of TWO CORPORATE BIRTHS:

1)      First birth will be prior to the travail of the woman—“The Great Sign of Revelation 12 does not represent the rapture. The birth of the zakar (singular) mentioned in Isaiah 66:7 does refer to the rapture by referring to the birth out of Israel that occurs before labor begins—before the Tribulation in other words…We are not looking at one birth…but two corporate births that occur at different times with respect to the Tribulation.” (Quote from Kar Giver's Bonus Rapture Update 2017)

2)     Second birth will occur after the Tribulation begins. [Excerpt from By the Skin of Our Teeth]

To understand more about the events surrounding the rapture of the Church Bride read The Day of the Lord. Gary’s article points to October 13 as the possible timing of the birth of the man child:

Exactly 42 weeks to the day from December 23, 2016 is October 13, 2017 - Shemini Atzeret and the day Jupiter leaves Virgo.  Could this be the actual date of the birth of the male child and Revelation 12:5?  38 to 42 weeks is considered a perfect/normal pregnancy. [Excerpt from unsealed.org/shemini-atzeret]

We are half a year away from the 70th anniversary of the rebirth of Israel. The time of “The Fig Tree Generation” is almost up since 2017 marks anniversaries for Israel that cover the gamut of the Biblical definition of a generation.

After our Messiah meets the Overcoming Church in the air, seven years later on the Day of Atonement is when Christ will actually set foot on Earth (see the section titled Yeshua's Second Coming and Yom Kippur at hebroots.com). Watchfortheday.org made this observation based on the assumption The Tribulation begins in 2017:

If the Tribulation ends on the Day of Atonement 2024, then 2,520 [days] back from that day is November 19, 2017.  The sign of Revelation 12 then comes 57 days before the Tribulation. This gap matches the gap between the end of Daniel’s 69 weeks on Palm Sunday and the beginning of the Church on Pentecost.

The sign of Revelation 12 makes sense as a sign warning to us all that the Tribulation is coming, just as depicted in the sign itself with the virgin (Israel) about to go through tribulation. For the Church, our time is then short. The requirements of the sign make it extremely rare making 2017 the only year in which it coincides with the final generation.

Caveat: I do not necessarily agree with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.
