Revelation has always seemed to me to be the ravings of a man on acid. I think that ANYONE who claims to know what Revelation says or is about exceeds credulity. I have studied extensively and I would not pretend to know what it is all about. There are verses that the Comforter has let me see some relevance for using the "mind of Christ" . . . but very few.

Mary is the biological mother of the humanity of Jesus Christ. She bore Jesus Christ in her body. It is through her that Jesus is biologically related to king David.

Its pretty simple if one read Daniel---a horn = a kingdom---10 horns = a place where kingdoms gather( an eighth king in itself--the one who was, is not( death stroke) and yet is( death stroke got healed)
2 horns = 2 kingdoms working together.( the final world power) can you see now?

The two horned beast( eagle-lion) exercise all authority of the 7 headed beast---cannot buy or sell( sanctions) makes fire( destruction) come down out of the heavens( bombs)

No, it clearly does matter to MysticPHd. The truths of rev have only been revealed through Jesus' real teachers. This has been fulfilled through them-Daniel 12:4

And how does that affect your walk in the Way, your relationship with God and your fellow humans?

My life has turned around for the better--learning Jesus' truths and applying them. Before that I was a selfish, drug doing and selling, thief, drunkard who fornicated regularly by not caring how it affected anyone else. Now I have stripped off the old personality( worker of iniquity) and try to live righteous( not easy in a satan ruled system of things). that is what is required to be born again--not just saying 3 lines of prayer like these( 2Cor 11:12-15) teachers of darkness teach.

when I hear some say something like this. “the "know" in this instance was pertaining to marriage. Mary was not married when she and Joseph conceived. I know that they haven’t read their bible.

Matthew 1:20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost". that's why discussion should be among Christian, instead of fleshly driven people.
...READ...WITH ...COMPREHENSION.....LOL...

When you read "take unto Mary thy wife", it's in the context of "take her AS your wife".... because they were not married yet!...and then it says "for that which is conceived in her", which is telling you that the Angel of the Lord was telling Joseph in layman's terms: "Marry her because she is pregnant with your child and that child is going to be the Messiah"

See, if Joseph was not a part of this whole thing, there would be no need for the Angel to tell him anything. Because what good would it do for the Angel to say "Hey man, you should be the Stepdaddy"...LOL

You've been mislead in your Biblical studies. sorry.

*FYI - In Hebrew culture it was forbidden to have kids out of wedlock. so Joseph married her before the rest of the Israelites saw Mary's pregnant belly and put Joseph to death for that. Because if you get a female pregnant you must be married first. that was Hebrew culture and GOD's Law
