This is part 2 of my review of The God Culture's Revelation 12 series. Part 1 can be found here. After identifying the woman in Revelation 12 as the nation of Israel, which means Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds, Tim goes on to identify the man-child to whom she gives birth in heaven.
Tim compares the symbolism in Revelation 2, 14, 7, and 12 and comes to the conclusion that the man child is the 144,000. His tedious exegesis is summed up in these two charts.

If you are not familiar with Revelation the 144,000 is a group composed of 12,000 members of each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The event of their sealing is recorded in chapter 7. However the tribe of Dan is missing. That is a huge problem for Timothy because he is interpreting this as being literal.
Tim recognizes Dan is not among the 144,000 and gives the reason as being that they rejected their inheritance and brought in idolatry. But so what? If these 144,000 are from the literal physical bloodline of Jacob then Dan must be included.
Cutting right to the chase Tim's doctrine is that 144,000 pregnant women, this is the woman mentioned who Tim said was also Israel, will be taken to heaven, likely on Pentecost, and give birth to 144,000 babies in the throne room of God as a first fruits offering. That means 144,000 women will have their legs spread, will scream in pain, and will excrete blood sweat and tears as they birth their children. What a disgusting picture. Can you imagine 144,000 naked or half-naked women in the throne room of God giving birth and everything that entails? How vile and abhorrent!
Again all this contradicts Tim's assertion that there is no allegory in Revelation 12. It also contradicts his previous interpretation that the woman is the nation of Israel. Now the singular woman who gives birth has two identities as the nation of Israel and as 144,000 women while the singular man-child has multiple identities as 144,000 babies.
Finally when all the travailing is over there will be the sound of 144,000 mewling infants piercing the ears of the angels and elders who surround God's throne. What a discordant cacophony will be heard in the throne room of God Himself! Tim goes on further to say these children are not sinners and will never live on earth.
Second there is nothing about redemption anywhere in Revelation 12. The word does not appear once nor does the concept. It is truly bizarre that Tim would claim there are 144,000 humans who do not need to be redeemed by the blood of Christ.
Thus far Tim has identified the woman and the man child. Next he will identify the land to which the woman is sent after she gives birth to the man child.
Spoiler alert: It's the Philippines!
40:48 Only Dan is missing and that is likely because of his rebellion rejecting the land he was given as an inheritance. He didn't like it so he went and lived somewhere else and along the way he picked up and introduced false idols into northern Israel after they entered the kingdom. So anyway there are actually 13 tribes technically because Joseph's two sons are each a tribe Ephraim and Manasseh.That is not true. There are not technically 13 tribes and no one says such a thing. Joseph was given a double portion in Israel and his sons were counted as half-tribes.
And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Deuteronomy 3:13The likely reason Dan is not included in this list is because Dan means judgement and God's people will not be judged by Him the way everyone else will. Again Tim misses all this because he absolutely rejects that the Church is Israel and Israel is the Church. Filipinos, Negroes, and Kurds as such do not matter even if they were actual lost tribes.
Cutting right to the chase Tim's doctrine is that 144,000 pregnant women, this is the woman mentioned who Tim said was also Israel, will be taken to heaven, likely on Pentecost, and give birth to 144,000 babies in the throne room of God as a first fruits offering. That means 144,000 women will have their legs spread, will scream in pain, and will excrete blood sweat and tears as they birth their children. What a disgusting picture.

What a discordant cacophony will be heard in the throne room of God Himself! Tim goes on further to say these children are not sinners and will never live on earth.
60:38 They are virgins pure, have no guile in their mouth, and without fault all. Not consistent with us flawed men on earth in which Paul says Romans 3:23 all have sinned and fallen short the glory of God. Not the hundred and forty-four thousand. They have not.This is a denial of original sin or whatever you want to call it. Sinful women give birth to sinful children. These children being humans are of necessity sinners in need of redemption through the blood of Christ. Tim denies this. In the next video he says the following:

7:40 We concluded the woman who appears in heaven is Israel. Again, not modern Israel but the true tribes of Israel. And the manchild she births in heaven is the hundred and forty-four thousand, her first fruit offering to Yahuah and Yahusha which again is what this is as she births the child there in heaven and Yahuah accepts the offering bringing them to his throne room to protect them. Look up the word redeem in Greek and you will find that it is a buying or selling that takes place in the market.
These 144,000, this man child, male child is being offered as a first fruits offering to Yahuah and Yahusha. That is a basically same thing market transaction. Just as Yahusha redeems us from our sins right? However if you really look at this when it says redeem this is actually a perfect fit to the actual definition of the word. These children do not face death but this is very similar to the sort of Abraham and Isaac if you think about it.First of all reducing our salvation through Christ to a "market transaction" is a horrid oversimplification of salvation which includes but is not limited to forgiveness of sins, union with Christ, Christ in us, and us becoming partakers of the divine nature. It also contradicts his previous soteriological statement "the law is what redeems us." Now we are saved through a market transaction. What need to keep the law then? And on what basis can he say our salvation can be lost? Will God get a refund on his purchase? It is absurd.
Second there is nothing about redemption anywhere in Revelation 12. The word does not appear once nor does the concept. It is truly bizarre that Tim would claim there are 144,000 humans who do not need to be redeemed by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his graceThis doctrine betrays a false anthropology. Does Tim believe men are good? That a disposition to sin is not inborn but wholly learned? In previous videos he applies Genesis 6:5, which is the classic text about man's sinfulness, to the nephilim and not to men. Either way it is pure heresy on his part to espouse this doctrine that 144,000 humans do not need redemption through the blood of Christ. Tim knows nothing of the depth of sin which caused Paul to write that we are all by nature the children of wrath.
Thus far Tim has identified the woman and the man child. Next he will identify the land to which the woman is sent after she gives birth to the man child.

| Revelation 12: The Land That Protects The Woman. Solomon's Gold Series 13D |
There are a lot of symbols to interpret when identifying this land so Tim splits this section into two videos. This first video mostly deals with the sun symbols while the next video deals with the moon and star symbols.
He starts the video off by taking great pains to connect Revelation 12 with Joseph's dream in Genesis 37 because it has a lot of the same imagery: sun, moon, and stars. Joseph's dream is a prophecy of his becoming ruler of Egypt and his family bowing down to him. It has nothing to do with Revelation whatsoever. Aside from the symbols Tim gives no justification why the connection is proper. But Tim makes the connection rather slyly saying that the sun is Jacob which means Israel. The Philippines is a lost tribe land and it has a lot of connections with the sun. He then shows us and explains much of the sun symbology surrounding the Philippines.
He starts off by explaining the allegedly prophetic symbolism of the Philippines flag and the words of the national anthem.

28:56 So let's look here at the national flag of the Philippines. Notice the symbol of the Sun. Are there other countries that have such? Certainly there are many in fact but take a look at their national anthem Lupang Hinirang or chosen land, interesting. Land of the morning. Why? Well the Sun rises in the east and has been considered the Far East as far back as history goes really. The Orient is well recorded, even Japan is also known as the Land of the Rising Sun and it's it's parallel to the Philippines but it is not a Lost Tribe territory thus it does not fit this. But the Philippines is.
Now read the next line though very odd, Child of the Sun returning. Wow! The first time we saw that we thought well it must be Sun God symbology yet in lieu of these findings in Revelation 12 perhaps not.Now Tim is interpreting the Bible through Freemasonic symbology! The flag of the Philippines was designed by Emilio Aguinaldo and is replete with masonic symbology
The Hong Kong designed flag that Aguinaldo brought with him from his exile on board the US dispatch boat McCullock, and which became the official flag of the first Philippine Republic, consisted of two horizontal stripes, blue on top and red below. It had a white equilateral triangle at the hoist that is smaller than that in our flag today. Within the triangle, at its center, a mythological sun was depicted with eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth in black, bearing eight rays without any minor ray for each, and three five-pointed stars, one at each angle of the triangle. All these devices were in gold or yellow colour.
Among the more credible assertions relied upon to establish the tie between masonry and the flag are the following:
In October 1899, Ambrocio Flores, Grand Master of the Gran Consejo Regional and at that time a general in the army of Aguinaldo, wrote letters to the Grand Lodges in the United States appealing to them to employ their influence to help the fledgling Philippine Republic. In these letters he compared the Philippine flag to the masonic banner saying, "...this national flag resembles closely our masonic banner starting from its triangular quarter to the prominent central position of its resplendent sun surrounded in its triangular position by three 5-pointed stars. Even in its three coloured background, it is the spitting image of our Venerable Institution’s banner so that when you see it in any part of the world, waving with honor amidst the flags of other nations and acknowledged by these nations, let us hope that with this flag, and through it, our common parent, Freemasonry will likewise be so honored."
In his beautiful Grand Oration pronounced in 1928, historian Teodoro M. Kalaw, Sr., uttered these words: "And the triangle appearing on the Philippine flag, the loftiest symbolism of the struggles of the Filipino people, was put there, according to President Aguinaldo, as an homage to Freemasonry."
https://freemasonry.bcy.ca/symbolism/philippine_flag.html
The original flag designed by Freemason Aguinaldo had a sun with a face on it inside a white triangle and the design was a tribute to the lodge which he belonged! In fact the entire independence movement was freemasonic in origin and spirit. Even the national anthem came about due to the Freemasons. From The Cabletow, the official magazine of Philippine Freemasonry:

The untold story of our National Anthem is that the music and the lyrics came into being because of the inspiration and prompting of Freemasons.The whole story can be read at the link. Remember in the first post where I noted that Tim rejects the age of Christ as being 33 because it is Freemasonic in origin? Well here he is basing much of his interpretation of Revelation 12 on symbols rooted in and originating from Philippine Freemasonry! Is he really this dumb? Yes, he is. Timothy Jay Schwab interpreting Bible prophecy through the lyrics of the Philippine national anthem is as irrational and insane as Charles Manson interpreting Bible prophecy through the lyrics of The Beatles' White Album! In both cases it's Helter Skelter!

| Hmm. Interesting. Coincidence? |
The woman, Israel, will fall from heaven to the Philippines. But she won't be free falling. She will be riding the on the wings of the great Philippine eagle.
Take note that Tim does not give any reason why the eagles' wings must mean a real eagle let alone the Philippine eagle. He simply makes that leap and expects us to follow. Is a Philippine eagle large enough and strong enough to carry a human being? And where do the 144,000 women meet these eagles? In heaven? In the sky as they fall? The Philippine eagle is an endangered species and there are less than 500 in existence!!
25:11 We also know the dragon physically comes to earth after the war in heaven which is a physical war and he physically attacks the woman so this indeed plays out in a physical location on earth not in the universe nor anywhere else. This next one however is really no coincidence at all.
When the dragon attacks the woman she is given two wings of a great Eagle that she might fly into the wilderness into her place. What is the greatest eagle on earth? Well when you see the word great it typically means the largest. What is the world's largest Eagle? Hmm. Prophecy also identifies a ravenous bird from the east in fact who rises in the last days and even the scripture they shall mount up with wings as Eagles actually appears right in the middle of a passage about the Isles of the east. Interesting. These are not arbitrary references. The largest and heaviest eagle on earth is the great Philippine eagle with a wingspan of about seven feet also known as the monkey eating eagle.Elsewhere he is more clear and says:
13:54 It's time to read scripture as it is and allow scripture interpret Scripture and steer away from strange doctrine which has no basis in logic nor scripture. Satan and his angels are cast to the earth and he is angry because he knows he has lost access to heaven and that his time is short because see he knows prophecy, again even if we don't. He immediately goes to attack the woman with a tsunami out of his mouth. Yes literally. He's a powerful angel in yes he can do so without it needing to be allegory. Of course he fails and the woman is saved and taken to the wilderness by the great eagle's wings the Philippine eagle that is the largest on earth.
https://youtu.be/G04VePmaTc4?t=834This ridiculous scenario is straight out of The Hobbit!

Why is it endangered? Because despite being the national bird Filipinos hunt them down and destroy their habitat! It's not even the largest eagle on earth. The term "large" is vague to begin with. What does Tim mean by large? Wingspan? Weight? Talon size?
The Guinness Book of World Records says the world's largest eagle is the Steller's Sea Eagle. National Geographic says it's the Harpy eagle. Wikipedia says this about the Philippine eagle:
The Haribon article was written in 2004. The National Geographic article was written in 2020. The Guinness world record was bestowed in 2001. It appears the Wikipedia article was written in 2002. The point is there is no consensus that the Philippine eagle is the largest eagle in the world. But none of that really matters because the whole scenario of 144,000 women falling from heaven and being carried by 144,000 eagles to the Philippines is patently ludicrous!
The next post will conclude this review of The God Culture's Revelation 12 series by looking at the moon and star symbols surrounding the Philippines and identifying the dragon.
The Guinness Book of World Records says the world's largest eagle is the Steller's Sea Eagle. National Geographic says it's the Harpy eagle. Wikipedia says this about the Philippine eagle:
It is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface, with Steller's sea eagleand the harpy eagle being larger in terms of weight and bulk.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_eagleEven Tim's source admits that the largeness of the eagle is relative to what is being measured!
“The term largest can have different meanings,” he said while pulling out and handling the specimens one by one like a delicate baby. “The Harpy Eagle maybe the largest in terms of bulk or weight, but the Philippine Eagle is the largest in terms of wingspan and height.” There you go—confirmation from no less than Dr. Kennedy!
https://haribon.org.ph/the-largest-eagle-in-the-world/The author of this article makes the false conclusion that Dr. Kennedy has confirmed that the Philippine eagle is the largest when he has not done so. Dr. Kennedy only confirms that the Philippine eagle is the largest in terms of wingspan and height while the harpy eagle is largest by weight! Dr. Kennedy admits "largest" is a relative term and the author of this article, just like Timothy, ignores that fact.
