I have another question on a different subject. When reading about end times the scripture about "ruling with a rod of iron," I always thought it was Christ in that role.

Revelation 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father.

28.And I will give him the morning star

12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne.

19:15 And out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

The He and Him in caps is Christ but who is the other "he", who is the "manchild" that God gives the rod to? What is meant by Christ giving him - the manchild, the morning star? He is the morning star. Does He make the manchild a morning star? Are these the elect that rule with Him, or instead of Him, during the millennium? Is that what is meant by being gods? And...when is he caught up to the throne?

HELP PLEASE.

I don’t know if anyone on here has heard of David J Stewart but he seems to believe that the Bible has evidence of a Pre Tribulation Rapture wwe.jesusissavior.com
