The Man Child of Isaiah and Revelation

Anything can be a play on words, but when it comes to scripture we do want to do as Jesus and live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God as well as possible. The thought of a man child is at least odd, but we do find it in Isaiah 66:7 and Revelation 12:5. This Man Child in the scripture would seem to be the birth of that which would overcome the devil. It would also seem this talk of a Man Child does not exclude anyone. In Revelation twelve eleven He is mentioned as those that overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and do not love their lives to the death. The text in Ephesian four talks about coming into a perfect man in the image of Christ. Could it be, as Jesus said, we must become as a little child to enter the kingdom of God, and yet we must also be mature in the image of His love and mercy. It is child-like faith mixed with a character of love. Our Ephesian text tells us the Lord has put His grace into His gifts to the church to bring forth this Man Child. It is an equipping, work of ministry, unity, and knowledge of Christ that brings us into the image of Him being the Man Child that is spoken of. We are His body the fullness of Him that fills all things. All of us together become Him. We all start as little children. Let us know how to discern the body, compact together, and overcome all for the government is upon His shoulder.
