Mark 13; Verse 17; Stay a Spiritual Wise Virgin

Moving right along in Mark 13. We're going to go one verse at a time to fully understand what is being said. To who, what, where, why, when, and how.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Mark 13:17) "But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days"!

(Child? But isn't written children are a blessing? It sure is. This of course is talking spiritually as just about all Mark 13. Matthew 24, and Luke 21 at that. Up until the point of each we get the physical condition(s) which lead to this spiritual condition when satan claims to be Christ/God. The Lord has had enough of them rejecting Him so satan it is they will get).

Let's take a look at other references:

Song of Moses of course,

(Deuteronomy 32:25) "The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs."

The sword of the Spirit (the word of God in you), without it brings fear. Not just fear here, but a striking fear. The amazing twist here is they want world peace without picking up any sword (physical or spiritual), which is a lie of course. No sword and with a twist! Don't quit, no surrender, no white flags when it comes to satan and his. Let's get that Gospel Armour on.

Young man to gray hairs covers all ranges within. Virgin = The foolish virgins who fornicated with satan and reproduced his works nursing them along. Remember as their lamps went out, and when Christ comes back they are knocking wanting in to the marriage supper of the lamb. I suppose they would want a reception (party) after that? Let's look at one view from Matthew 22.

(Matthew 22:11-13) "And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

(It's an after the fact picture. Christ is looking around seeing who is sitting down at the marriage supper. This one found naked fornicating with satan without that garment of salvation).

12And He saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

(Like having that trembling fear, tongue stuck to the roof of the mouth. Like they say, "cat got your tongue" This is not a pretty site. But, remember those of Babylon want to be all "decked" looking good without the Lord).

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

(Left without. This is not hell. It's a show what they are without, and we're heading into the Millennium. They are without the light, because their own lamps went out. Matthew 25 once again).

And you thought royalty in this world was something. THE KING has come and Babylon (whoring out) partakers will not be apart.

(The word destroy here an amazing one. (With the root word from the Hebrew putting them together). As they miss the mark, deprived of love like a long lost love and to miscarry. A miscarriage. Because they fornicated with satan and reproduced the works of satan while they think/thought satan was and is Christ/God).

What a picture from Isaiah 54:1 and on:

"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."

(They are singing the Song of Moses keeping that womb barren. Not reproducing and nursing satan's works along. Like the children of the abomination that makes desolate. Which of course is satan himself. From Mark 13:14 in the last study).

What did they do?

Stay a spiritual wise virgin (not being caught red-handed by Christ naked and ashamed when HE comes back went over last study.

(Revelation 19:7-8) "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

(Isaiah 54:4-5) "Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed (no shame, we are not ashamed of our maker): neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

(Widowhood = Their long lost love has come back).

We can see this they are even ashamed to be thankful for their food. Pray in a restaurant see how you're looked at? But yet they want to say God, not knowing what they are saying? Just no conscience. The shame is not being thankful. A children without faith).

5"For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called."

(Thy maker as husband is a great point here as well. As we see the removal of the want of their creator now. But they get satan. Keep them clothes "garments" on).

As we see in a generation where abortion is rampant, people view each other as disposable trash. No commitment, word means nothing in relationship, no relationship to being faithful. Right along with a children without faith. These would be very tough truths to even begin to understand.

From Isaiah 61:10, the same time period when Christ comes back:

"I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."

(Once again, Babylon said she is no widow all decked out without their creator. Revelation 18 specific).

So as it is in II Thessalonians 2:3-4,

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

(First of all let no man deceive you the gathering back to Christ will NOT happen until satan claims to be Christ/God. That gathering is of course after the great tribulation. The great tribulation is of course the time period satan claims to be Christ/God. No rapture.pre trib rapture. This also of course 2 of satans names for us to further identify him, and characteristics. Nothing is hidden).


And because of doctrine like the rapture/pre trib rapture?

The word falling away from the Greek is apostasia (the fix is in). But the root word apostasion means a divorce. So they are divorced and handed to satan, and to sum it up decide to have a family with him, spiritually speaking. So, we see the simple theme of commitment, keeping your word, marriage. Putting it together it increases till a comes to a full head and the Lord has had enough.

4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Amen †
