Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)


2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.


2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV
6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV
3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV
15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

The Earth was DESTROYED BY WATER.
The Earth SHALL BE DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Are you aware...ONCE God CREATED something it CAN NOT BE, "uncreated" ?

The Destruction of the EARTH, simply means to "CHANGE" the "MATTER" of the Earth.

Body's and Soul's of the DAMNED SHALL BE DESTROYED. The "MATTER" of Destroyed Body's and Soul's shall be "CHANGED" to ASH, (no longer DUST, because DUST is the surface layer of the Earth.) They will be ASH, IN the center of the Earth.


Isa 45:
[17] But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Eph.3
[21] Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

The Heavens And Earth Are (Dissolved) By The Lords Fire At His Return

The Earth Shall Fall And Not Rise Again

Isaiah 24:19-20KJV
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

(Dissolved)

I’m not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this. When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

1) when did the dragon see that he was cast unto the earth?

2) how did the dragon get cast unto the earth that made him wroth knowing but his time was short? Knowing his time was short and he was cast unto to the earth; he went to make war…

Revelation 12:13-17 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.

John 12:27-32 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. [28] Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. [29] The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. [30] Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. [31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. [32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Revelation 12 is still future - Israel, the woman, runs into the desert for 3.5 years with Satan in pursuit and IMO this happens after those in JUDEA flee from the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15, as Jesus warned them to do - and which Daniel wrote happens at the middle of the 70th week (7 years).

IMO, Satan is cast down. then possesses the beast of Revelation, aka the Antichrist, then the beast has power to make war with the saints and overcome them, and give the mark for 42 months - the last half of the 7 year tribulation period.

Opinions vary.

Biblical Numerology:

42 power months:

Rev 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given power( Gr. exousia ) to continue for forty-two months.

42 = 7 x 6

7 = Perfect Completion
6 = Human Existence

Do you UNDERSTAND... passed away?
It means, NO LONGER in it's FORMER STATE.

The Current STATE of Earth, of Mankind...
IS ....... CORRUPT

The Lords "MAKING" the Corrupt Earth ANEW, the "MAKING" of the Corrupt Man ANEW...
Does not UNCREATE the Earth,
Does not UNCREATE the Man,
It 'CHANGES' the Earth, from CORRUPT, to NOT CORRUPT!
It 'CHANGES' the Man, from CORRUPT, to
NOT CORRUPT!

The Earth and The Man...do not BECOME uncreated....THEY Become "CHANGED" !

Have you EVER cracked open a Chicken Egg?Seen it, fried it, eaten it?
Have you EVER cracked open a Chicken Egg?
Mixed that egg, with flour, water, sugar, soda, baked it and eaten it?
Did you SEE that egg in your baked result?
No, you didn't....BECAUSE IT WAS "CHANGED"...NO LONGER in it's FORMER STATE...but yet you still consumed the egg.

THE WorldS shall NOT become UNCREATED.
THIS WORLD...Earth
THE WORLD....HeavenS
THE Occupants of the Earth...
Shall Become MADE, ( by the POWER OF GOD..)
CHANGED!

God is THE CREATOR...nothing becomes UNCREATED.

God is THE MAKER...nearly EVERYTHING God has CREATED, becomes MADE CHANGED.

Scripture teaches of a 3.5 year tribulation, where the (Two Witnesses) of Revelation 11 rule the earth through plagues, a complete remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt

You can tinker around with "PASS AWAY"...all you like...this is a world without end.

Have you ever "RESTORED" a rust heap of an automobile? IF so, you didn't "start" with nothing. You start with the rust bucket and "MAKE IT ANEW", Back to its original "CONDITION".

The EARTH was not "CREATED" corrupt.
Expressly the EARTH was "CREATED"...
...... VERY GOOD!!!

The Earth has become "CORRUPT".
The Earth SHALL BE "MADE" ANEW, BACK to its original "CONDITION".

A SOUL...that Belongs to GOD, has Gods LIFE in the SOUL....and GIVEN into the BODY of a man.
That SOUL, IN the created man, "MADE" the created man ... ALIVE.

MEN...(the created FORM/BODY) have become CORRUPT....and thus Corrupted the SOUL within a man.... :(

God Has Provided a "WAY", for mankind TO, willingly Heartfully SUBMIT unto God....
AND GODS PROMISE IS;
ANY many WHO...willingly heartfully Submits unto GOD...
THAT GOD WILL.... RESTORE the soul with in that man.
The man DOES NOT "RECEIVE A NEW SOUL".
The man DOES "receive a Restored SOUL".
The RESTORED SOUL, is Changing, Making, (BY THE POWER OF GOD) the SOUL BACK to it's original creation, of
VERY GOOD.

Understand...NOTHING is UNCREATED...
God is the Creator AND Maker.
He Created all things VERY GOOD.
He allowed Angels and Mankind to CORRUPT His Creations.
He allows Corrupt Angels TO "REMAIN" Corrupt.
He allows Corrupt Mankind TO "REMAIN" Corrupt.
He OFFERS Corrupt Mankind A WAY to become MADE RESTORED.
He Reveals CORRUPT WORLDS...Heaven(S) and Earth and many men;
SHALL BE RESTORED.

Revelation 12 is still future - Israel, the woman, runs into the desert for 3.5 years with Satan in pursuit and IMO this happens after those in JUDEA flee from the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24:15, as Jesus warned them to do - and which Daniel wrote happens at the middle of the 70th week (7 years).

IMO, Satan is cast down. then possesses the beast of Revelation, aka the Antichrist, then the beast has power to make war with the saints and overcome them, and give the mark for 42 months - the last half of the 7 year tribulation period.

Opinions vary.

Revelation 12:13-17 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.

[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.

Revelation 17:3-8 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

yes as you said opinions vary.

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.

and the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

only an opinion but consider this flood that the serpent cast out of his mouth…that he may cause her to be carried (entangled, or swept) away of the flood. Mark 15:1-5 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate. [2] And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. [3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. [4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. [5] But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

and the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

the serpent cast out of his mouth…to make war…that what is brought forth of the Lamb of God might get caught up and entangled therein and be swept away or carried away:

…be not carried away unto these dumb idols.
…Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation
…be no more children tossed to and fro, carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men, cunning craftiness, whereby the lie in wait to deceive. (The serpent cast out of his mouth, be not carried away, entangled therein).
…be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.
…James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
…wells without water, clouds carried with a tempest.
…there shall be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars; distress, perplexity (wonder) the sea and waves roaring. Men’s heart failing them for looking after those things coming upon the earth. (they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.)

Revelation 12
okay but Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

What of out of the earth wherein dwells righteousness came Christ?
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
the woman is Israel.

Revelation has much symbolism first found in the OT - the sun, moon, and stars about her head means she is Israel, who Messiah came out of.

As to the flood of water, Satan has power to create storms, according to Job, where He caused storms sent to destroy Jobs family, and probably sent the storm Jesus told to be still, that was sinking their boat.

And the revelation 12 event is literal, because Israel hides for exactly 3.5 years.

Satan is cast out of heaven in the middle of the tribulation, he raises from the dead the beast/Antichrist who has been assassinated and died from a head wound, and possesses him, which gives him power to make war against the saints, and give the mark for 42 months - 3.5 years- at that time, he, the Antichrist, goes into the temple as the son of perdition, makes the temple desolate, and says he is God.

This is a mid trib event, per Daniel, and as the abomination of desolation occurs, Israel flees into the desert, (as Jesus warns them to, when they see the son of perdition standing in the temple, in Matthew 24), for 3.5 years in Revelation 12.- which is the last half of the 7 year tribulation period aka the great tribulation.

It all fits together nicely.

Revelation 12:13-17 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.

Revelation 17:3-8 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [6] And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. [7] And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. [8] The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

yes as you said opinions vary.

The woman in Revelation 12 is unequivocally Israel.

The symbology of the sun, and moon with the stars over her head is found in the Old Testament, so it’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

The woman gave birth to one who was caught up to heaven - no opinion needed there, it’s Jesus - and Israel is where Messiah sprang forth from.

Scripture teaches of a 3.5 year tribulation, where the (Two Witnesses) of Revelation 11 rule the earth through plagues, a complete remake of Moses/Aaron against Pharaoh of Egypt
It’s 7 years with the division of general tribulation for 42 months, followed by great tribulation for 42 months.

The two witnesses rule nothing. They give testimony for 42 months and kill those who attack them to silence them, and demonstrate the ability that Elijah is known for - but he didn’t rule over anyone, either.

Biblical Numerology:

42 power months:

Rev 13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given power( Gr. exousia ) to continue for forty-two months.

42 = 7 x 6
7 = Complete Perfection
6 = Human Existence

Jerusalem will be trodden by Gentile nations for 42 months - Revelation 11:v.2
2 The court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Jerusalem, also called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, will be trodden by Gentile nations in this last DECADE of the world of Devil. The COURT, yeah, the COURT which is without the temple will be given unto the Gentiles, and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months -Rev.11:v.2- it because the Dragon will give to the Beast of sea- the Pope -the Papacy-, his Power, and his Throne in Jerusalem, and great Authority for 42 months, actually it is the FIRST HALF of the last week of Daniel 9:v.27, which WILL BE RULED BY THE BEAST OF SEA enthroned in Jerusalem- REV.13:v.2 and 5- this will be the Great Delusion in fulfilment of 2Thes.2:v.11-12.


TWO STRONG AND POWERFUL BEASTS (Revelation 13:1to18) WILL RULE DURING SEVEN (7) YEARS A MONSTROUS AND EPHEMERAL UNIVERSAL AND SATANIC RELIGIOUS SYSTEM - JUDAISM AND CATHOLICISM -

Verse 5 - 5 And there was given (BY THE DRAGON) unto him (unto the Beast of sea -the Pope, the Papacy)- a MOUTH speaking great things and blasphemies-Revelation 16:v.13-; and *POWER was given unto him to continue forty and two months.-THAT IS the FIRST HALF of the last week of Daniel 9:v.27. *POWER was given unto him by the DRAGON, who is the esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah of the Jews (John 5:v.43), who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will BE ENTHRONED in the temple of God-in JERUSALEM, spiritually called Sodom and Egypt-, shewing himself that he is God, AND the FALSE MESSIAH will give not only his *POWER to the Beast of sea, BUT ALSO HIS THRONE AND GREAT AUTHORITY.

Do not have any doubt that the Beast of sea, the next Pope to be elected after death of Pope Francis from now on, which will take a pseudo-name or nickname as being the SEVENTH of a lineage of Pope, as seventh king of that lineage, yeah, THAT ELECTED NEW AND LAST POPE WILL SIT ON THE THRONE OF THE DRAGON IN JERUSALEM with great Power and Authority given by the Devil, the Dragon, the Jewish false messiah. THIS WILL BE THE STRONG DELUSION-2Thes. 2:v.11-12.


Be sure that the plagues are underway, the earth is and will be smited with strong and severe plagues, and the waters-peoples,and nations, and multitudes of all tongues - is and will be turned to blood, the heaven is shut, he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still, no more salvation, no, no more, but GOD's wrath will fall upon all the nations, and they will be cast into the hell's fire from now on.


Revelation 2:v.26-29
26 - He that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the END, to him will I give power over the nations:
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.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

After the END of these things will come the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION - the 2nd HALF OF THE LAST WEEK that will be ruled by the ruthless and ESOTERIC, AND KABBALISTIC, AND SPIRITIST Jewish FALSE MESSIAH -2Thessalonians 2


Isaiah 26:v.21-22
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

Get ready

I’m not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this. When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth

1) when did the dragon see that he was cast unto the earth?

2) how did the dragon get cast unto the earth that made him wroth knowing but his time was short? Knowing his time was short and he was cast unto to the earth; he went to make war…

Revelation 12:13-17 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.

John 12:27-32 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. [28] Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. [29] The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. [30] Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. [31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. [32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.


The verses you cite give you the answer! It is the last 3 1/2 years of the 70th week of Daniel ore the second half of the tribulation which is also called the great tribulation.

He knows his time is short because He knows the Scriptures better than we do!

Remember that even though the cross sealed the judgment of the world and Satan (prince is a poor translation for "archon"), god has often declared judgment and delayed the execution of what He declared to take place. the world and satan have had their judgment set, but we are living in the time of the calling out of the Gentiles a people for the name of Jesus!

see though that is confusing because It says knowing he was cast unto the earth he was wroth. I’m not sure of the 3 1/2 year tribulation and the second half the great tribulation. At what point then is the dragon cast unto the earth…at the beginning of the seven years, at the 3 1/2 mark, or during the great tribulation? If prior to the seven year tribulation then is that is why he is wroth knowing he has but 7 years? How does he see he is cast unto the earth? Or how does he get cast unto earth? I’m questioning if how he knows his time is short is because of
Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

The woman in Revelation 12 is unequivocally Israel.


Romans 9:6-8 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: [7] Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. [8] That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

The woman gave birth to one who was caught up to heaven - no opinion needed there, it’s Jesus - and Israel is where Messiah sprang forth from.
