1 <REJECT> 'The Great Sign of Revelation 12' Laurence Smart (

2 This is another biblically-based idea

3 On September 23 rd, 2017, it is predicted by some pundits that there will be a significant astronomical event fulfilling Revelation 12:1

4 Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns. Now the dragon s tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born. So the woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is going to rule over all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was suddenly caught up to God and to his throne, and she fled into the wilderness where a place had been prepared for her by God, so she could be taken care of for 1,260 days. (Rev 12:1 6 NET)

5 On the following slides there is some video information on the background to this theory

9 A futuristic interpretation: This theory is based on a Futuristic view of the book of Revelation. Without it, this theory falls flat

10 Biblically accurate??? This theory is not even biblically accurate, according to Alan Kurschner

11 Alan Kurschner: I find it interesting that pretribbers who once exclaimed that since the word church was not found between Revelation 4-21 therefore the rapture is pretrib, now are changing their view and seeing the 'male child' in Revelation 12:5 as referring to the 'church'. They need to do this 180 in order to subscribe to the 'Great Sign of Revelation 12' theory.

12 This is what Scott Clarke did [in his YouTube video]. In his early videos he would claim that the church was raptured before Revelation 4 because the word church is not found in Revelation 4-21 (a typical pretrib view, by the way, that I refuted on 'The Biblical Prophecy Program'). In recent videos, you will not hear Clarke make this argument any more

13 because he wants the 'child' mentioned in Revelation 12:5 to refer to the church and the catching up in that verse to refer to the rapture.

14 Alan Kurschner s webpage on the sign

15 AND x Alan Kurschner s Interview on celestial signs There are five good reasons why a solar eclipse will not be part of the future eschatological celestial disturbance event that heralds our Lord. Listen and find out what these reasons are!

16 This is another bible prophecy theory: This theory is another in the recent line of prophetic messages/theories based on biblical interpretation. Can you see how the Futurist view of End Times and Revelation colours what a person subscribes to?

17 Treat this sign the same way as Four Blood Moons, The Harbinger & The Mystery of the Shemitah Shelve it and see what transpires

18 Our King has not confirmed with us anything about this phenomenon

19 Time to EJECT biblical prophecy focus

20 I was told by our King to do it with the creation/evolution debate as the time had past

21 It's now time to stop focussing on biblical prophecy and concentrate on what our King is wanting us to spend our time and energy on

22 It's in that state that he'll let us know what's coming in the future
