Jesus said there were two women in the field. He said the ‘field�?was the world. So, these two women are in the world together from Gen. 1- Rev. But who are they? From our studies in Lamentations, we are learning who they are. They are the OT (law) covenant = the Old T. Israelites, the first whorish wife of God. The other woman is the NT (Grace) Covenant = the New T. true Church, wife of Jesus. This whorish woman continues all the way to the end of the world. She did not cease to exist just because God put her into darkness; the dust or night; no, she continued right on down, hiding in secret along with the true woman. She pretends to be the true wife of God; she says, (Isa. 47:8)---I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: So, this whorish, ‘woman�? the law, says I am still the wife of God; I am the first and I am the last; I am not a widow; he did not put me away. So, she deceives most of the whole world into thinking she is still the ONE. Now v.9---But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. v10---This shows she had wisdom and knowledge which perverted her; she was wicked; she said I am and none else beside me. Now, this is the OT law. She says no one can be saved unless they ‘keep me�? Now, what day was this speaking of that her loss would be in? It is the Day of Pentecost. This is the day she was rejected and went into widowhood. This was the day she had the ‘loss�?of children; when her children went into captivity to the New Woman = the Church. Now for proof: v11---....desolation shall come upon thee suddenly--- now is not this the one Jesus said to, ‘your house is left unto you desolate?�?Yes, this is her identification. Read the rest of this chapter: it will show you this is the mystery Babylon spoken of in Revelation--- which said fire would burn her and her merchants would wander everyone to his quarter; none shall save thee. She is the one who did as v12 & 13 says---played with sorceries, and all such idols. She was the one in ‘merchandising�? Jesus showed this just before his end, when he went into the temple and cast out the money-changers; for they were doing ‘merchandising�?in the house of the Lord. Jesus forbade this. If you will study this Isaiah 47 along with that instance of Jesus saying they would be left desolate and their merchandizing in the house of the Lord, you can see clearly that this is the whorish woman, Babylon; it is the OT wife of God. Clear as crystal!!! WHAT is her TRADE MARK????? You guessed it! THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!! Sure as anything! sSSSoooooooo--- Look at this: Rev. 12: 1--And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Enter woman # two!!! |
