Revelation 12 - Sept. 23 Rapture DEBUNKED in a Greek word? Carl Gallups Explains!

A study by Carl Gallups

Rev. 12:1 "A sign appeared in heaven (GK. ouranos)"

=========================
HELPS Word-studies
3772 ouranós – heaven (singular), and nearly as often used in the plural ("heavens").

"The singular and plural have distinct overtones and therefore should be distinguished in translation (though unfortunately they rarely are)" (G. Archer).

SEE FOR YOURSELF: http://biblehub.com/greek/3772.htm

Notice that Archer says that "some" fail to make this important distinction in biblical translations. There is a big difference in the singular HEAVEN and the plural Heavens, Heavenlies, or the sky.

For example:
Out of the top two-dozen+ Bible translations - only two say, "A sign appeared in the sky." ALL of the others, including the KJV and the NIV use the singular - "A sign appeared in HEAVEN."

HERE is Rev. 12 broken down word-by-word into the Greek.
http://biblehub.com/lexicon/revelation/12-1.htm

The word for "heaven" in this passage is in the SINGULAR - not PLURAL. It means "A sign appeared [to me, while I was] in heaven." This matches exactly with the same use of the word in Revelation 11:19 (just before 12:1) where heaven is used also in the singular - indicating "IN HEAVEN" not in the "heavenlies."

Rev. 12 does NOT mean "A sign appeared in [the heavenlies]."

Rev. 12 is NOT meant to be interpreted as a secret formula for the rapture date.

John was given a "revelation" [a SIGN, ILLUSTRATION, A KEY POINTING TO ANOTHER VERSE (Gen. 37)] while he was in HEAVEN. This was not a "sign in the heavenlies, or in the stars."

This theological non-fiction work may prove to be one of the most significant books you've ever read, especially as it connects deep spiritual truths to your life as well as present-day global concerns. Gods and Thrones will pull back the veil on a number of deeply significant biblical mysteries:

    Have you ever wondered what in the world is wrong with of us? Don't worry, you really are seeing what you think you see! And billions around the planet share the same concerns. Is it that the world is truly falling apart, or is it that everything is simply coming together just as the Bible predicted? 

   What really happened in the Garden of Eden that plunged all of creation into a dark abyss of death and destruction, and ultimately gave birth to the entire Christ event? How is the real message of the Garden Fall connected to shocking New Testament declarations - as well as today's global headlines? (Hint: It wasn't a talking snake convincing a woman to eat a piece of fruit...) 

   What devastating event actually caused Yahweh to push the reset button during the days of Noah's Flood? What did Jesus mean when He said the period just before His return would be just like the Days of Noah? 

   Have you ever seen the evidence within the Bible of how God has utilized a court-like assembly involving divine beings since the beginning of time? Did you know this assembly is, to this day, actively involved in the affairs of the nations? Did you know that Jesus and several New Testament writers confirm these truths as well?

   Did you know that four different times in the scripture God appears to describe Himself as "us?" What in the world could that mean? You'll find the answer ahead, and it is probably not what you're thinking now.  

   Did you know that Yahweh has two families? Even the New Testament is crystal clear concerning this truth, yet its significance is often missed by the bulk of today's Church. 

   Is the world in the throes of being set up for a visitation? Why are internationally renowned world figures continually insisting that this idea be accepted by the global population? Is the "New World Order" actually close upon us? 

   We are currently living in the most prophetic times since the first coming of Jesus Christ. You are not only getting ready to discover why, but  you will finally understand why now. The "gods" are scrambling for their thrones - And now ... it's game on!

No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. - 1 Corinthians 2:7-8
