The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Ruler, #2
And the God of peace shall bruise [crush] Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (Romans 16:20)
Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation describes the birth of the Son (man child), which we understand to be the forming of Christ in the Christian Church.
This is the Body of the ruling Son that is being formed and brought to birth. This is the King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Son of God who is being formed in the members of the Body of Christ will crush Satan and all his works with a Divine rod of iron.
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise [crush] thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15)
Note carefully the following:
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Revelation 10:7)
What is the "mystery" that will be finished "in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound"?
The mystery is, "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (Colossians 1:27)
It is obvious only our Lord Jesus Christ can be the Son who is destined to rule all nations with a rod of iron (Psalms 2:9).
Who, then, is the "woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown (tiara) of twelve stars," of the first verse of Revelation, Chapter 12?
From our point of view, the woman is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is only in the Christian Church, the Body of Christ, that Christ is formed.
No travail of the nation of Israel or the Christian Church brought forth the Baby in the manger. The Son, Christ, was born before Zion travailed. He is God's answer to God's enemies.
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. (Isaiah 66:7)
But there will come a time when Zion does enter labor. Then the Son will be formed in the Church, in the heavenly Jerusalem, which is the "mother of us all."
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. (Isaiah 66:8)
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, (Hebrews 12:22)
