Hi Ebed

Where? Psalm 89:37 is not saying the moon is a symbol or a sign at all! Whereas Revelation 12:1 tells us this was a SIGN that appeared in heaven, which matches to Joseph's dream. You're making the moon a symbol but Psalm 89:37 is NOT saying that. It's saying as sure as we know the moon is establised from creation His promise to David will be...so there's a huge difference.

Ps:89:34: My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35: Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 36: His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. 37: It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.
Ebed it is not saying anything about the moon being there from creation. The verse says that the Moon will FOEREVER be a witness to everyone about the Promise.
IT (the Promise) shall be established Forever AS the moon AS a faithful WITNESS to the IT (the promise).
You are ignoring the fact that the woman in Rev 12 IS STANDING on the moon and she is CLOTHED in the Sun. Jesus the only one who reveals does not say this for no reason, just because!!!!!. He says it because this is something the Churches will understand it is being taught to them by the Saints.
Israel did not stand on Sarah or Rachael nor was it ever clothed in Jacob.
Here is what the Churches were being taught. Here is what they are taught they are standing on.
Gal:3:22: But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Eph:1:13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ti:1:2: In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Heb:4:1: Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Heb:6:12: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
The Churches are being taught that they are standing on the Promise (which is a house built on solid ground) God made and that they get the promise through faith.
Mt:7:24: Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mt:7:25: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
The Woman in Rev 12 is wearing the Sun.............
Ps:84:11: For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Here is Paul teaching the exact same thing to the Churches. That they must wear the Sun as a Sheild
Eph:6:11: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Eph:6:13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Not only is Paul teaching to the Churches he is teaching it in Direct Reference to the Time of the End which as we know that is what Revelation is all about, the evil day.

That's wrong Just The Facts. I'm on firm footing because the only point I made to you from Jeremiah is God does typify Israel as a woman prophetically. That is now clear.
Next the woman is called Mystery Bablyon mother of Harlots. You last saw that woman going into the wilderness in Revelation 12:14...the next time you see her, she's riding a scarlet beast, and she has that name on her forehead. What did Jeremiah say in Jeremiah 3:3?: 3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, And there has been no spring rain. Yet you had a harlots forehead; You refused to be ashamed.
My case is made!
End Quote
Your case is not made MY CASE is made. You are saying the woman is the Physical Nation and People. I am saying it is the Spiritual Identity / Church / Faith of the Nation
She is NOT called the Mother of Harlots at all. You are adding that to the verse she is called a Harlot. The no rain is a direct reference to the curse of Lev 26:.
Once again you TOTALLY IGNORE the verse I pointed out WHERE GOD HIMSELF calls the People and the Land HIM AND HE. Not HER and SHE.
So Please allow me to point it out again in larger txt you seemed to have missed it
13: For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
In this Verse above and below from Jeremiah 2 God calls the physical Nation that is the land and the People HE not She
Jer:2:14: Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
and just so there is no mistake that these verses speak of the physical nation I give you the next verse.
15: The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
The fact the people and the land are him is everywhere as you pointed out in Exodus.
Ex 4:22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is My son, My firstborn.
The People are a HIM a SON a HE

You can't make your own rules Just The Facts...you have to pay attention to what's going on! In Jeremiah 2 God is making a different point because He's looking at the history of Israel to make His case through Jeremiah... so now WHY DO YOU USE ONLY JEREMIAH 2:14 AND NOT LOOK AT JEREMIAH 2:20?:
20 For long ago I broke your yoke And tore off your bonds; But you said, I will not serve! For on every high hill And under every green tree You have lain down as a harlot
End Quote
You're ability to call the kettle black is astounding Ebed. It is not me that is ignoring the Fact that God is calling the People and the Land HE in Jeremiah 2. It is not me making his own rules, that is you doing that.
Then to top it all off the verse you use TOTALLY PROVES what I am saying it is a SHE, a HER, A Virgin, A harlot, a Harlot, whenever it has to do with the Spiritual WORSHIP / Faith / Church of the Nation.
Find me ONE SINGLE verse where it is Female and not about the Spiritual Worship of Nation. You will not find it I know because I have looked.
God calls the Land and people him or He or Son over and over.
God ONLY refers to Israel as a She when it has to do with the Spiritual Identity / Church / Religion / Worship of the Nation.
Your inability to admit this does not serve you well, it leaves you lacking in understanding. This handicaps you when you get to Rev 12:
It is obvious we have both said all we are going to say on this. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Peace to you my Brother in Christ.
