REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Seven - A Son, A Male

 The appointed time for the nations to rule without interruption  by God came to a  end in 1914.  (Luke 21:24) Then righg on time the woman bears her child: And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations wit an iron rod. And her child was caught away to God and to his throne.And she fled away into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days."  (Revelation 12:5, 6) "The child is "a son,  a male." Why does John use this double expression?  He does it to show the child's suitableness.  His competence for ruling he nations with adequate power. It also emphasizes  how momentous, how  joyous an occasion this birtj is! It plays  a key role in bringing the sacred secret of Godf to a finish. Why, this male child wille ven "shepherd all the nations with an iron rod"!
