I believe you are reading into things that are not explicitly stated. Jupiter is possibly a symbol of the church, not the literal church. Also if a woman gives to two babies, they are twins (fraternal, identical or mirror) and can be two boys, two girls or one of each. Again you are saying "twins" which means two and applying it to more than two.
My concern for you is what happens to you faith and your belief that God told the rapture would happen on 12/31, if at the stroke of midnight NYE turns to 1/1/18 and we still remain on earth? Will you no longer give yourself 100% to Him? Will you begin to question everything you feel you know about God and how He speaks to you?
Hello krnboitae,
I agree with Mike, and I have the same concerns for you and others. I don't doubt your sincerity, and a greatly appreciate your desire to be 100% sold out to God/ committed to follow him and obey.
The sad part is that this is not following basic principles of Bible interpretation -- I can give you dozens of links from You-Tube of People who also 'heard from God'. Many sincere people think they heard from God in a dream.
The truth is that while He does still speak in dreams and visions, the primary way he speaks to people today is through his Word. We can't trust our emotions and many times a dream is influenced by something you heard, saw, read, or ate, or influenced by emotions - can't be trusted.
I think @silentknight's and mike's questions are right on - agree 100% but the bigger one - imho - that I think is more relevant to others reading is why,/ where/ how from scripture did you get that we are supposed to take the impurity of woman after birth and add this to some event that is not even agreed upon by well-respected Bible scholars, as to what it means.
There was an alignment that happened, and it seems to fulfill Rev 12:1-2, but there was no dragon, and no rapture/harpazo event. Even the one who made the entire Revelation 12 sign popular among Christians, says it didn't mean what most thought it did.
What you are doing - my brother is called "Eisegesis" and it is what we should not do.
It is the opposite of Exegegis, which means "To draw out" - and it means "to read into scripture, something that it not there" - and it's very very dangerous and has led many astray and is the source of much false doctrine.
As Mike mentioned, and SK, the text does not say twins, or children plural - it says one child, and furthermore, there is nothing anywhere in the OT or NT that even implies that we should use this 'false impurity test' as a method to count 33 or 60 days, or 40 or 99, or 70 or any number from any event.
Even if there were such a verse, you are combining two numbers for male and female.
I say this in love and humility - but This is not sound or even basic Biblical interpretation.
"If the Bible seems to make literal sense, seek no other sense, or it becomes nonsense."
This is the same kind of slippery slope/ danger we see when people try to use 'chiastic structure' that occurs in poetry, and use this as a method of interpreting - drawing parallels that are not there - [reading ideas and presupposed meanings into passages that aren't there.]
We can't use Strong's numbers to interpret scripture - or take two words from different languages that sound the same and make a connection. Strong's was based on the KJV version that was created in 1611, and there are mistakes, - but more importantly, people can use Strong's numbers to make any message they want. It's not a solid, dependable way to interpret scripture, my friend.
**I'm not saying you did this, but many have done this with Mesech, and incorrectly made the assumption that it sounds like Moscow, and Tubal sounds like Tbilisi Georgia, and made the leap that this proves Magog = Russia. You have to look at how the word is used in it's context.
In linguistics - this is called "False friends" or linguistic interference.
Just because Barak may have some connection to blessed, or lightning - doesn't mean anyone can take this and make a false connection to Lucifer falling like Lightning and therefore= will be the AntiChrist. Hmmm. He's very blatantly anti-Israel, - how /why would Jews think he is the Messiah, when he was raised Muslim. ?? He supports Iran, which calls for the total destruction of Israel. hmmm.
While we are all called/ even commanded to watch, - we also have to keep in mind that it may be that we just know the season - like labor pains, but that's all that God reveals until we actually are in heaven, with Christ, when we will know/understand fully, even as we are known by Him.
Maranatha,
