Revelation 12 - Sept. 23 Rapture DEBUNKED in a Greek word? Carl Gallups Explains!
A study by Carl Gallups
Rev. 12:1 “A sign appeared in heaven (GK. ouranos)”
=========================
HELPS Word-studies
3772 ouranós – heaven (singular), and nearly as often used in the plural (“heavens”).
“The singular and plural have distinct overtones and therefore should be distinguished in translation (though unfortunately they rarely are)” (G. Archer).
SEE FOR YOURSELF: http://biblehub.com/greek/3772.htm
Notice that Archer says that “some” fail to make this important distinction in biblical translations. There is a big difference in the singular HEAVEN and the plural Heavens, Heavenlies, or the sky.
For example:
Out of the top two-dozen+ Bible translations – only two say, “A sign appeared in the sky.” ALL of the others, including the KJV and the NIV use the singular – “A sign appeared in HEAVEN.”

========================
HERE is Rev. 12 broken down word-by-word into the Greek.
http://biblehub.com/lexicon/revelation/12-1.htm
The word for “heaven” in this passage is in the SINGULAR – not PLURAL. It means “A sign appeared [to me, while I was] in heaven.” This matches exactly with the same use of the word in Revelation 11:19 (just before 12:1) where heaven is used also in the singular – indicating “IN HEAVEN” not in the “heavenlies.”
Rev. 12 does NOT mean “A sign appeared in [the heavenlies].”
Rev. 12 is NOT meant to be interpreted as a secret formula for the rapture date.
John was given a “revelation” [a SIGN, ILLUSTRATION, A KEY POINTING TO ANOTHER VERSE (Gen. 37)] while he was in HEAVEN. This was not a “sign in the heavenlies, or in the stars.”
