1. History of the Christian Church
Part 7

2. Revelation 12:6,14 Woman = church
Wings as Eagles = being directed and led by God (Exodus 19:4)
= Being protected and led by God; not having
any false god during this time
(Deut 32:11-14)

3. Wilderness = Country places out of the cities;
= non-inhabited places;
desolate places of the earth (Job 38:26)

4. Time, Times and Half a Time

5. Time, Times, and Half a time = 1260 prophetic days
OR 1260 literal years
(see Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6)
Time = 1 year = 360 days
Times = 2 years = 720 days (360 X 2 = 720)
½ a Time = 360 divided in half
which = 180 days
= 1,260 prophetic
days or literal years
Other terminology for this time period is found in:
Revelation 11:2 = forty two months
Revelation 12:14 = time, times, dividing of time

6. A Biblical month has 30 days
Genesis 7:11,24; 8:1,3-4
Revelation 11:2-3
A Biblical Year has 360 days
12 months x 30 days = 360 days
Q: How did we go from 360 days in a year to
365/366?

7. LET’S GO TO  Daniel 7:17,23-25 The horn power changed Times and Laws
NOTE: The Bible went by “lunar(moon) cycles,
which is where the word month comes from.
1 Lunar month = 29.5 days;
rounded off it = 30 days
The 365 year calendar goes by the “solar/sun” cycle
The Gregorian Calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. It is a solar calendar based on a 365-day common year divided into 12 months of irregular lengths.

8. BY THE WAY!!! “times” and “laws” The Gregorian Calendar comes from
“Pope Gregory”
This power truly did think to change
“times” and “laws”

9. Read Revelation 12:15 Serpent = Satan (Revelation 12:9)
Water = Multitudes of people (Revelation 17:15)
Flood = The enemy (Isaiah 59:19)
***Satan is here sending in enemies to
destroy God’s people/church,
but God protected her

10. READ Revelation 12:16 Earth = New World/Land
which later becomes the land of the U.S.
 See Job 38:26 and Revelation 13:10-11
See pages of the Great
Controversy

11. The Pilgrims

16. THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION & THE BILL OF RIGHTS
Earth Opened Her Mouth = making laws
 Proverbs 31:26; Joshua 1:8; GC 442.1
What Laws were these?
Read GC
THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION & THE BILL OF RIGHTS

18. Dragon = Rome
 see Revelation 12:4 and
Matthew 2:12-16
Cast out of His mouth = this church power from Rome made laws to destroy God’s church, but the earth’s laws presented this from happening
