21st Revelation 12 (Satan in action) A woman gives birth to a son
1: And there appeared a great wonder
in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon
her head a crown of twelve stars: 2: And she being with child cried, travailing
in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3: And there appeared another wonder in
heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and
seven crowns upon his heads. 4: And his tail drew the third part of the stars
of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it
was born. 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. 6:
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God,
that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7:
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels, 8: And prevailed not; neither was their
place found any more in heaven. 9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old
serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10: And I heard
a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the
kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11: And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;
and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12: Therefore rejoice, ye
heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of
the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he
knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13: And when the dragon saw that he was
cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14: And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly
into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15: And the serpent cast
out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to
be carried away of the flood. 16: And the earth helped the woman, and the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony
of Jesus Christ.
This passage is a picture of the
whole history of Israel
from Gods perspective. This is the passage of Great wonders in heaven. First a
woman clothed in the sun and the moon under her feet and having a crown of
twelve stars and she is with child. Second a Red Dragon. Seven heads ten horns
and seven crowns. The dragon brings a third of the stars (angels) of heaven
down to earth. The dragon stands ready to eat the child that will be born. And
she brought forth a man child (Christ) who will rule the nations. The child is
caught up into heaven and the Woman (Israel) flees into the wilderness.
2260 days she is fed in the wilderness. (Most of the Tribulation) There is war in heaven Michael fights with
the great dragon and casts him down to the earth. This is Satan the Devil.
Satan the accuser is now cast out of heaven to the earth. Heaven rejoices but
the earth fears the dragon. 3 ½ yrs Israel is persecuted in the
wilderness. But God protects her. The dragon tries to flood Israel but God
opens the earth and swallows the flood.
