Prayer Initiative : RevelationSample

Have you ever had a sign from God? Joseph certainly did. God gave him a dream. In that dream, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowed to him. His brothers hated him for the dream, but his father kept the matter in mind. Though Joseph had no idea how the dream would unfold, and how much suffering it would also include, it was a sign that was fulfilled when Israel came to Joseph to save them from famine.

In Revelation 12, a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon that stood in front of the woman so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, who "will rule the nations with an iron scepter."

When John is writing about the first sign he describes it with the word Mega – mega semeion. This is the greatest, the most important, the most crucial sign that was given to humanity. It refers to Jesus Christ, the Messiah. He is the One Who rules the world.

"After a conflict with the Prince of this world, who came and tried Him, but found nothing in Him, the Son of the woman was taken up to heaven and sat on the right hand of God. Words can hardly be plainer than these" (Henry Alford).

Take a moment to ponder on what you've read and respond to God in prayer.
