I



can hear them already Lucy :-). 
Boy, some spiritual gift you were given, 
you can't even figure out the date of your wedding, 
much less know anything about: the appearance of the two witnesses the end of times, 
Christ return,  etc...

Remember.
Being able to make sense out of complicated issues so that others can understand them better = spiritual gift of prophesy, not determining dates and foretelling future events necessarily.

"Yeah but you go it so wrong."
Hang on a moment here.
Not really.
I'll show ya.
There are probably going to be several post about the events of September 23rd posted here today.
Just trying to make things simple.
Section it off and it becomes easier to digest I suppose.

I've seen all kinds of stuff on the web about how September 23rd 2017 was supposed to bring about Christ return and the end of times etc etc etc.
Christ won't return till the end of the end times, not the beginning, which is where we are.
There ya go, there is some spiritual gifts on display for ya :-).

What Will Happen on September 23, 2017?


Revelation 12:1-2
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

Jupiter being in Virgo.


This is what caused a lot of speculation about this years movement of the sun through the constellation Virgo:
Every year the sun appears to move through the constellations.
This year was no different.

"Therefore, for a day or two each September or October, the sun appears in Virgo with the moon at her feet, so this is not that remarkable."

"However, this year’s event has attracted much more attention than previously, so why is this year so different? One possibility is the addition of Jupiter to the mix. Some people claim that this year Jupiter will be near what is supposed to be the womb of Virgo, so it represents the child that the woman is about to give birth to."

"And how do we know that Jupiter must represent the child? 
(Oh I don't know, faith?)
There is no evidence for that either. 
(Do you need to travel back in time and witness the crucifixion and resurrection to believe? What evidence do you need except the power of The Holy Spirit working through people?)
Instead, this is a mere assertion that someone made, with many others repeating the claim. Based upon Revelation 12:5, (And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne). 
Most commentators think that the child was Jesus."

Well guess what Lucy?
Most commentators got it wrong.
The child Virgo is giving birth to?
Represented by Jupiter being in her belly?
Not representative of Christ return, not the end of times, but rather, the beginning of the end times.
The child?
Christ new church on earth being born.
The appearance of the two witnesses signifies the event.
Revelation 11: 1-14
(The two witnesses)
There, like that spiritual gift now?
Yeah but you are still so wrong, the appearance of the two witnesses didn't happen that day.

Reexamine the verse:

Revelation 12:1-2.


A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

She didn't give birth that day.
She was "about to".
The stars were a sign of what was about to happen.
So of course nothing happened that was remarkable for many on that day.
Just another nondescript September 23rd.
 I assure you there were those whom much was given to examine that day, myself included.
(More on that in a bit)

Like I said, several parts.
Movin on.

BTW?
I really like this guy and what he was trying to do on his website.
It's biblically based but misses the point on a few occasions.

Maybe he should get an invitation and hear our story and come see for himself and then make a decision on what transpired Sept. 23rd, 2017?
Just a thought Lucy.
