    Q&A "man child"

    Q: "The reference to Zion travailing in labor the Spirit sets forth in a vision and it is assigned to John and not to Isaiah? Who does the woman clothed with the sun represent? What is the significance of Zion and man child in Isaiah ch. 66?"

    A:

    Let us take the verse " Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child." Before refers to the phrase, 'In the beginning'. Ge.1:1)The foregoing verses prove that it is so. It is about the heaven and is a throne and God asks,"And where is the place of my rest?"(66:1,7). The v.7 makes it clear that the man child has to do more with the covenant God enters with the Man, (Ge.ch.1) leading to the rest of God in Ge.2:1. Forget about the nation of Israel or about the church of God on the earth.

    Now for the verse from the vision, in Re.12:2 "And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, ". Who is she? The woman is the mother of all living and her travail is on account of man's sin of disobedience. (Ge.3:16,20)

    "Before she travailed she brought forth" is the voice of the Lord and it has a sign. Death on the cross is obliquely stated but the foundation is a stone, "Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone"(Is.28:16)

    "And she brought forth a man child,"(Re.12:5) The man refers to the covenant he represents soul of every believer who abides in him. It is preserved in heavenly places which explains the unseen world of the divine Will. His soul body and spirit made man as one. (Ph.2:6-7) Inner man is a proof this sanctification:" For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one". It explains the redemption of our bodies. (Ro.8:23). Thus our faith has its upper end where we abide in Jesus Christ while we are in our bodies, "but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." That is faith with works. (Ro.12:1-2)
