Roger, March 2, 2001
I LIKE TO BE STRENGTHEN
Sherril, August 7, 2001
My relationship with Jesus by studying His word.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
The relationship that I want to strengthen the
most is with Jesus. I plan to do that by
spending time speaking with Him (prayer) every
day and studying His letters to me (in the
Bible.) Only by spending time with Him can
my relationship with Him grow. I also have
a lady that I want to be come close friends
with. I plan to spend time with her, listen
to her, find out what her ideas, thoughts, likes
and woes are. By being there for her, I can
become a better friend to her. I also share
my life with her.
Linda, December 19, 2001
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.BY PRAYING AND
TURNING MY LIFE OVER TO HIM COMPLETELY THAT IT
WILL BE HIS WILL AND NOT MY WILL FOR MY LIFE

THIS MALE CHILD WAS JESUS
Sherril, August 7, 2001
No, because the child is Jesus.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
I am not too surprised, because prophecy is
usually a little different than normal everyday
life.
Linda, December 19, 2001
YES-BECAUSE A GREAT RED DRAGON,HAVING 7 HEADS AND
TEN HORNS AND SEVEN CROWNS UPON HIS THAT WAS
WAITING TO DEVOUR THE BABY WHEN HE WAS BORN
Does this symbolism give you any clues
to the identity of the woman who gives birth to the male
child who will rule all nations? What are your
conclusions?
Donna, September 21, 2000
The woman is the church and the male child is
Jesus.
Roger, March 2, 2001
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
Sherril, August 7, 2001
The church?
Tamara, November 27, 2001
The woman is God's true church, the one that
follows all of the truth. The child is
Christ.
Linda, December 19, 2001
MARY IS JESUS MOTHER AND HER SON WILL RULE ALL
NATIONS
How
does John use male terminology to further identify the
people who are included in the 'woman' and are protected
in the wilderness during Satan's attack?
Donna, September 21, 2000
She is protected by the power of Christ.
Roger, March 2, 2001
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
Sherril, August 7, 2001
Our brothers.

under attack.

Sherril, August 7, 2001
A wife.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
The woman is the Bride of Christ, who is His
faithful church.
Linda, December 19, 2001
THE MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST
If you were writing the Bible would you
choose a woman or a man to represent God's people? Why?
Donna, September 21, 2000
Woman, the people represents God's church, the
woman represents God's church.
Roger, March 2, 2001
YES THEY ARE PROPHECY ABOUT THE FUTURE
Sherril, August 7, 2001
A woman because Jesus has to be the head of
household.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
A woman is very fitting since Jesus is the
"husband" figure. He is to be
head, leader, ruler in the marriage. The
church is to be submissive and loving toward
Christ. When the church tries to be the
husband, that is when we start having all kinds
of problems. That is when their own
doctrines are more important than Christ's words.
Linda, December 19, 2001
I DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE WHICH ONE I WOULD PICK AT
THIS TIME
In Jesus' love for the woman there is a

been taught His truth, they should become married
to Him in the ceremony of baptism.
Linda, December 19, 2001
FOR AS MANY OF YOU HAS BEEN BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST

What picture do you get in Matthew
28:19, 20 of a developing relationship with Jesus before
a person visibly becomes part of the woman symbol?
Donna, September 21, 2000
By being baptised.
Roger, March 2, 2001
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS
Sherril, August 7, 2001
Baptizing and then teaching them to obey Jesus.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
Before becoming part of His Church, we are to be
taught, we are to learn to obey all of God's
commandments. God's character is revealed
in His commands, and by learning them, we learn
of Him. It is good to know the One you are
going to marry.
Linda, December 19, 2001
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I
HAVE RECOMMANDED YOU:AND,LO,I AM WITH YOU
ALWAYS,EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.AMEN
From your experience, what are some of
the essentials of strong family, friendship, or work

in the church.
Roger, March 2, 2001

Sherril, August 7, 2001
By always being there for them and never
betraying them.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
Love, no matter the circumstances – not
based on conditions. Must spend time
together, care, listen, respond in love, be
trustworthy, helpful, kind, patient,
forgiving. Need to be good to one another.
Linda, December 19, 2001

FRIENDSHIP LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVED THE

Fine linen was given her to wear.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
That she is READY for Christ when He comes.
I want to be ready for Him!
Linda, December 19, 2001

ONE REPRESENTS JESUS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTS
SATAN
Sherril, August 7, 2001
That one is pure and one is a harlot.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
One is Holy and Pure and True and modest, the
second is corrupt. She is gaudy, filthy
(spiritually), showy, extravagant, blasphemous
(saying and doing things that are against God),
and drunk.
Linda, December 19, 2001
THEY HAVE COMMITTED FORNIFACTION AND THE
INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH HAVE BEEN MADE DRUNK
WITH THE WINE OF HER FORNICATION
What similarities do you see between
false teachings -- that mix God's truth with error -- and
intoxication?
Donna, September 21, 2000
A lie is like drinking wine that is intoxicating.
Roger, March 2, 2001
THEY LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY
Sherril, August 7, 2001
You can't make good decisions while intoxicated
because you can't see things clearly.
Tamara, November 27, 2001
False teachings are like alcohol in
