This goal of this thread is to do a very detailed verse by verse commentary on Revelation 12. New information will be added as time permits.

Revelation 12:1 - 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.

Since there is much debate as to who the woman is, it would be wise not to jump to conclusions early on in this study. Therefore, the approach that will be taken will be to first focus on other parts of the verse to gather clues and evidence of what we are looking at and then form a properly exegeted hypothesis.

Sun Moon and Stars:
A major clue as to who the woman is may be found in the symbolism of the sun, moon and stars:

Genesis 37:9 - And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

In the above verse, the sun is symbolic of the father/masculine. The moon is symbolic of the mother/feminine. The stars are symbolic of their offspring or seed.

Scripture is immediately pointing us in the direction of human biology, physiology, anatomy, reproduction, etc. In other words, we are looking at 'Kingdom of God Within' references which are often told through euphemisms aka, the 'Meat of the Word'. Sadly, most Christians are still on the baby's milk and are never given a proper 'adult education' to be able to see the ultimate meanings of important Biblical concepts.

The moon is under the woman's feet. Some scholars interpret that to mean that the woman has dominion over the moon. In other words, she has ownership of it. What else can we exegete from verses about the moon?

Colossians 2:16-17 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Interesting. Somehow the moon, specifically the new moon, is a 'shadow' of things to come, i.e., Jesus. The new moon festivals are symbolic of the 'substance' of Jesus:

1768870251976.png
Jesus is the Logos made flesh. Jesus is Abraham's Seed. Therefore, the moon somehow represents the DNA and genealogy of Jesus. Let us examine further:

The word menstruation is etymologically related to moon. The terms menstruation and menses are derived from the Latin mensis 'month', which in turn relates to the ancient Greek mene 'moon' and to the roots of the English words month and moon.

...the lunar cycle and the average menstrual cycle were found to be basically equal in length...



The moon is looking more and more feminine as we go along. It is even referred to as 'her' in Scripture. Let us not forget that New Jerusalem, which is symbolic of the womb of Sarah, has an ovary 'tree' that produces 'fruit' on a monthly period:

Revelation 22:2 - In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

God is using human physiology, especially the reproductive system, to teach us how the Kingdom of God works. This is crucial.

The moon is even known to turn to blood:

Acts 2:20 - The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

Often times, the literal interpretation is the most revealing. If the moon is symbolic of the ovum, then 'turning to blood' could be a reference to something being conceived. Understand? There is a 'born again' event that takes place when the moon turns to blood:

Acts 2:21 - And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It works both ways, i.e., something else is 'born again'... as in the Man of Sin.

The more evidence we gather, the more we discover that the moon, in the context of Revelation 12:1, is most likely a reference to the ovum of the woman. Specifically, the moon is symbolic of 'Her Seed'. Moreover, this is no ordinary ovum. Her Seed, as most Christians know, is the genealogy that ultimately leads to the birth of Jesus which began in the Garden of Eden:

Genesis 3:15 - And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Not to jump ahead, but there is another important verse that is in Revelation 12:

Revelation 12:17 - 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.

An interesting word is being used here:

1768872363341.png


Exactly what 'Heaven' is God referring to in the opening verse of Revelation 12? Is it the sky? No. The Kingdom of God Within is the *REAL* Third Heaven. You all have been sold a lie. The Third Heaven has been hidden from you your entire life by false teachers.

Here is the real breakdown:
  • Heaven #1: Spirit Realm
  • Heaven #2: Earth's atmosphere and Outer Space (Without)
  • Heaven #3: Kingdom of God (Within)
Look:

Luke 11:40 - Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

Paul was referring to the 'microcosm of life' in this verse:

2 Corinthians 12:2 - I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Much of the Book of Revelation is symbolic of what happens *within* a person so that it can be applied to that which is Spiritual. We are being trained on how to care for the Kingdom of God. We are being trained to care for LIFE.

That is what John was looking at. He was being shown the inner workings of human physiology so that he, and the rest of us, could understand profound Spiritual concepts.

How can one become born again into the Glorified Body unless they go through the entire step by step process? That leads us to 'clothed with the sun'. Can you guess what that means? An ovum has to be fertilized in order to conceive...

That leads us to 'clothed with the sun'. Can you guess what that means? An ovum has to be fertilized in order to conceive...

Interesting verse:

Psalms 19:4-5 - Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race."

Soon, we will learn how the Tabernacle in the Wilderness is symbolic of the zygote that Jesus was conceived into. A Tabernacle for the Sun. The Bridegroom does what after marriage?

1768937871966.png

Seed and Sun:

Psalms 89:36-37 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Indeed the 'Sun' that the woman is clothed with is none other than Abraham's Seed. Of course:

Malachi 4:2 - But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

What Revelation 12:1 is portraying is a symbolic representation of the moment of conception. Specifically, it is about Abraham and Sarah conceiving Isaac. This act begins the Twelve Tribes, hence the Twelve Stars the woman is crowned with:

1768938260921.png

Does this mean that the Woman of the Apocalypse is Sarah? Not exactly. Remember, Revelation 12:1 is all about HER SEED. In other words, it is a story about the lineage of Jesus Christ and how the Dragon is either trying to stop the lineage from beginning, from continuing, or trying to murder Jesus after he is born. <- This is a major key to understanding Scripture.

And thus, the Woman of the Apocalypse represents *ALL* of the mothers who carried HER SEED from Sarah to Mary. That's it. It's an incredibly beautiful story about women that is never told. Now would be a good time to start.

These brave woman 'nurtured' the bloodline of Jesus until he was born. How long did that take?

SPOILER ALERT!
Revelation 12:6 - 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.

1260 years precisely.

The verse in the spoiler will be expanded on as we move along in Revelation 12. Let's just say that the Israelites were chosen to take care of, and nurture, their Messiah via the Tabernacles and Temples. They were taking care of Baby Jesus the entire time!

Next verse please:

Revelation 12:2 - And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

As mentioned in the last post, the woman can be anyone, from Sarah to Mary, that is carrying Her Seed. The Dragon is always waiting, watching, plotting to 'devour' anyone in the family tree that could potentially lead to the birth of the Messiah. And just as the woman is symbolic of the many moms who kept the lineage going for a time, times and dividing of time, so too the Manchild is symbolic of the many sons that carried Abraham's Seed throughout the same 1260 year period.

From Isaac to Jacob to Judah to David and so on to Jesus. The Manchild Archetype encompass all of them. Note that the Two Witnesses are around during the same 1260 year period. Law and Prophets. Moses to John the Baptist.

Revelation 12:3 - 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.

What is fascinating about Revelation 12:3 is that the Dragon appears to have come from the future when all of the heads, horns crowns, etc. are completely formed.

The 'Heaven' mentioned is most likely the Third Heaven... aka... the Kingdom of God Within. These are human physiology verses. Salvation has always been a biological issue. According to the Bible, the Soul of any life form is its Genome. The Dragon corrupted all Souls, all Genomes, in the Garden of Eden.

Revelation 12:4 - 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.

There is a huge amount to unpack in Revelation 12:4. The 'tail' of the Dragon is what we call a flagellum:

A flagellum (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hair-like appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (zoospores), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.


1768960384352.png

Just as the crown of twelve stars are a future prophecy of the Twelve Tribes that are about to be conceived, so too are the stars that the Dragon casts down. They are the children of the wicked one about to be conceived. They are cast to earth to be born. The flagellum, like 'hair', propels the Seed to its target:

Revelation 6:12 - And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

Do you see it yet? Sun and Moon changing to hair and blood...

1768961247229.png

Conception. A flood of ungodly men are about to arrive to stop the Messiah bloodline dead in its tracks. Again, this has happened many times, not just once.

If we stay close to the era of Revelation 12:1 being sometime during the days of Abraham and Sarah, we can deduce that Satan was most likely extremely upset when finding out about what happened immediately after the Melchizedek Blessing:

Genesis 14:19 - And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

It was as if Melchizedek was directly involved with awarding the 'Seed of the Messiah' to Abram. (hint hint).

Genesis 15:1 - After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Now pay attention. This is a Prophecy of what the Dragon will be up to when he is cast down for the first time of many:

Genesis 15:13-14 - And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance."

Revelation 12 is all about this time period, especially the Exodus:

1768960137695.png
Satan was preparing his army ahead of time to 'devour her child' as soon as it was born. It was a fail of course:

Revelation 12:5 - 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.

Again, the Manchild is symbolic of all the men who carried Abraham's Seed until the Messiah was born. This one verse covers a span of many hundreds of years.

Coming soon:

Just as the crown of twelve stars are a future prophecy of the Twelve Tribes that are about to be conceived, so too are the stars that the Dragon casts down. They are the children of the wicked one about to be conceived. They are cast to earth to be born.

How?

Jude 1:6 - And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

When?

Jude 1:7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

It happened during that time. A great battle was fought. Michael was there...

This is one of the most important verses in the entire Bible to understand:

Revelation 12:6 - 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.

If you are reading this, consider yourself blessed. There is currently only a small group of people that know what is about to be revealed in this post. Censorship is at an all time high. There is a Spirit that has been trying to hide this info for thousands of years now. Make a copy before it disappears.

Most of you know what the wilderness is that Her Seed fled into. You have discussed it, and heard it being discussed, countless times. The wilderness is of course where the Israelites fled to during the Exodus:

Exodus 14:21-22 - And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

It is so obvious, yet some struggle with this.

The Key to understanding Revelation 12:6 is to understand what the 'place prepared' was. What was the place prepared? It was the Tabernacle of Moses:

According to the Hebrew Bible, the tabernacle ('residence, dwelling place'), also known as the Tent of the Congregation (also Tent of Meeting), was the portable earthly dwelling of God used by the Israelites from the Exodus until the conquest of Canaan. Moses was instructed at Mount Sinai to construct and transport the tabernacle with the Israelites on their journey through the wilderness and their subsequent conquest of the Promised Land.


1769047614128.png

Christians understand the Tabernacles and Temples to be symbolic of the body of Jesus:

John 2:19-21 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body.

But how? In what way? Is it just a cute saying that has no relevance or importance to a Christian? How are the non-believers supposed to view the 'body is a temple' concept? Is it just religious nonsense? Sadly, Christians have done absolutely nothing to convince either the Churches or the secular public just how incredibly important it is for EVERYONE to understand what the Tabernacles and Temples are all about . It is literally a life and death matter.

Tabernacles and Temples Summary:

The tabernacles and temples in the Bible represent two distinct things, depending on the context.
  1. Generic Eukaryotic Cell
  2. Zygote
mhp-0709.png

mhp-0707.png

Most days of the year, the tabernacles and temples are symbolic of a typical Eukaryotic Cell. The Temple Servants cared for the cell by performing various tasks and rituals. These actions mimic how a cell is cared for inside the body. Most notably, the tasks and rituals mimic how the cell is NOURISHED. Understand?

The Israelites were being trained on the intimate workings of cell biology!

They were simulating how to take care of their Messiah. They feed Her Seed a thousand two hundred and threescore days, i.e., 1260 years, from Moses to the birth of Jesus.

1769050139672.png

Why all the rituals? Because the original plan of the Old Testament was to do this for real, on REAL CELLS by way of Ezekiel's Temple:

Ezekiel 43:11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

Ezekiel's Temple was a conditional promise. It was to be the ultimate Temple which, by the way, also mimics a modern day 'clean lab' and GENETIC ENGINEERING FACILITY. Yes, that is what the Tabernacles and Temples were a shadow of. Everything, including those working there, had to be sanitized and sterilized to be able to work in a pure environment.

The Israelites were 'God's Chosen' to undo what was done in the Garden of Eden. They were going to work hand in hand with God to correct and even upgrade all of the DNA on the planet. They were to genetically engineer the Glorified Body for all life. All of the training involved specific instructions on how to accomplish this most ambitious of tasks. They were to follow a specific 'blueprint' to insert the Law into the 'hearts', i.e., the Soul, i.e., the Genomes of all life.

Sadly, The Israelites failed in their mission. They were not ashamed and thus, the plans were scrapped. New Jerusalem is different from Ezekiel's Temple, however there are many similarities. Do not confuse the two. They are not the same.

Day of Atonement:

On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, something miraculous happens. The High Priest changes garments and enters the Most Holy Place to sprinkle the Blood.

1769049813148.png

In other words, the Tabernacles and Temples become a picture of HER SEED that is about to be FERTILIZED and become the ZYGOTE that would carry the GENEALOGY OF JESUS for generation after generation, or 1260 years to be exact.

1769050922777.png

The High Priest acts as a type of the Holy Ghost that helps conceive:

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.

There is an actual Heavenly process that makes this happen! All life is planned out ahead of time. The details are all there in the Bible for those wanting to understand more about how you and I came into this world.

And now you know what the 'Body Temple' really means. An entire person exists at the moment of conception in a tiny fertilized egg called the Zygote.

Your body, my body, everyone's body is contained in a humble tabernacle inside the womb of the mother...

1769050668590.png

God is Pro Life... always.

To the contrary, in...

Revelation 12:1 - 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.
  • ...that "great wonder in heaven" refers to the matter and purpose of this world in God.
  • The "women" shows the matter of that "being" "taken out of" God, as Eve was "taken out of man" and first called "Woman"--seen as that "image" God created them in, revealed--as "a living being."
  • "The sun"--that source of light and life in the universe--is God.
  • "The moon under her feet" is "the serpent", that "lesser light to rule the night"--the "ruler of darkness" "Cursed is the ground"...he who "shall bruise His heel"--not His head, but "His heel", meaning "His body"--which are those who dwell upon "His footstool."

Quite the string of "beautiful pearls."

This is another important one with regards to when and where:

Revelation 12:7 - And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Timing is everything here. The Dragon was trying to stop one of the most important events that led to the birth of Jesus. He was trying to stop the Israelites from being birthed in the first place. This particular war took place around the time of Sodom and Gomorrah. Pay very close attention to the context of these Jude verses:

Jude 1:5-7 - I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

This particular war with Michael, the Dragon, and fallen angels took place around the time of Sodom and Gomorrah and the Exodus. The verses line up perfectly with each other, proving that they are not just random unrelated events.

We even see Michael still fighting this same war after Moses passed away:

Jude 1:9 - Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

It was all during the same time period.

There are beliefs and traditions that claim that Michael was one of the angels that visited Abraham before the events in Sodom and Gomorrah:

1769172246693.png

The verses in Jude are strong evidence supporting this.

Thus the cycle of 'was - is not - and shall ascend' begins:

Revelation 12:8 - And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Because the Dragon has no place in Heaven, he must continually be cast down. This is something that practically everyone, especially Christians, gets wrong. Satan does not fall once, he falls many times! In other words, there is no singular event where Satan falls from Heaven and that's the end of it.

Remember, Jesus personally saw Satan fall:

Luke 10:18 - And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Many Christians believe this must have happened either before Jesus was born, or it's a future prophecy. That is incorrect. Jesus saw it first hand. It happened during the time he was physically here on earth.

Here we see it again:

Isaiah 14:12 - How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

This is yet another time Satan falls. Again, Satan falling is something that happens over and over in Scripture. Once this is understood, the next verse makes perfect sense.

Why do you think there are seven heads, yet one Beast and one Dragon? Let us examine this further...

Why do you think there are seven heads, yet one Beast and one Dragon? Let us examine this further...

There is a first time for everything, including the first head of the Beast:

Romans 9:17 - For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

It would be advisable to study the context of the above verse. Here is a sample:

Romans 9:22 - What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Yeah, you know, THOSE verses. You want Exegesis? Let's do this...

What does 'raised thee up' really mean in Romans 9:17 with regards to Pharaoh? Here is the word that is used:

Strong's Greek 1825: exegeiró
From ek and egeiro; to rouse fully, i.e. (figuratively) to resuscitate (from death), release (from infliction) -- raise up.

The same word is used here:

1 Corinthians 6:14 - And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.

Understand?

The Beast *was* - *is not* - *and shall ascend out of the abyss*. <- You had better understand what this means!

The Beast 'was alive' then he died. He 'is not'. Yet... he will be exegeiró. He will be raised again from death.

He has a 'short time' because he is mortal, like us:

Isaiah 14:16 - They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

The above verse is referring to the third head of the Beast, i.e., the King of Babylon. Lucifer is referring to Satan literally incarnated as a man...

1769233305749.png

And so what goes up, must come down:

Isaiah 14:14-15 - I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

What is Hell? It is where we all come from:

Psalms 139:15 - My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Look!
1769232738678.png


Where did the Rich Man go? What was there?

Luke 16:26 - And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.​

Do you see it yet? The 'pit' is euphemism for the womb:

Isaiah 51:1-2 - Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

This is the 'meat of the Word' you were never taught.

The Beast *was* - *is not* - *and shall ascend out of the pit*, over and over until all heads are complete. Stop freaking out over this Revelation! Get used to what God is trying to get you to cope with and stop pressing the "I'm Offended!" button.

Interesting verse:

Ezekiel 29:3 - Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.

The King of Egypt is being called THE GREAT DRAGON in Ezekiel's day. Get it? The Pharaoh of Exodus is the first head of the Dragon and Beast...

mhp-0860.png
Much of Revelation 12 is referring back to the Exodus. The Dragon is cast down and becomes Pharaoh:

Revelation 12:9 - 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.

In other news, angels are always falling. It does not happen one time. In fact, angels fall every day. It's how we all got here. Remember?

Revelation 2:5 - Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Yeah, we left our First Love. We were supposed to eat from the Tree of Life:

Revelation 2:7 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

We chose the other one...


Let's not make that same mistake again. Amen?

This picture clearly shows no attempt to follow the Bible. The Ark of the Covenant was not that big.

Thanks soberxp for visiting and commenting. It does look a little bigger than it should, or maybe the High Priest was not very tall. :p

The Ark of the Covenant is a good segue into more 'meat of the Word' interpretations.

In a previous thread, we learned that mountains in the Bible are often symbolic of the male reproductive organ. Moses climbed Mount Sinai to take possession of the Two Tables of the Covenant:

Deuteronomy 9:11 - And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

The forty days and forty nights are symbolic of forty weeks of pregnancy. These are human physiology verses. The Two Tables of the Covenant are symbolic of Male Seed:

Luke 8:11 - Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

We call this DNA, i.e., the Word Made Flesh:

John 1:14 (Young's Literal Translation) - And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

Therefore, in order for conception to take place, the Seed must travel from the 'tip of the mountain', aka... the 'mouth of the Serpent', i.e., the male reproductive organ, and go all the way into the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle Ovum to fertilize it:

That is where the Seed must be deposited for the Word to be made flesh and the Man Child to be conceived:

Exodus 25:16 - And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.

Placing the Word of God into the Ark of the Covenant is symbolic of fertilization in the Nucleolus.

---> HER SEED now has a place prepared <---

A Tabernacle for the Sun. Do you see it yet? The Israelites were 'feeding' Her Seed!

Revelation 12:6 - 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.

Forty years of wandering. Forty weeks of pregnancy. Understand?

Come on Christians. Wake up already. This is not a drill. This is hardcore reality. Yes, it can be a bit scary, I know. The Seed Covenant goes all the way back 2300 years before the Crucifixion when the TEMPLE WAS CLEANSED:

Daniel 8:14 - And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Day/Year Principle. Use it or lose it:
1260 vs 1290 vs 1335 vs 2300 SM.png

Mount Sinai is symbolic of both Abram and Abraham. In other words, the first set of Seed went to Mystery Babylon/the Earth Mother/Hagar/Old Testament/Bondage/Egypt:

Genesis 16:15 - And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

This is why there were two sets of Tables. The first set went to the GROUND:

Deuteronomy 9:17 - And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

That was a picture of Abram conceiving with Hagar, the 'Egyptian Woman'. The next set was AbraHAm and Sarah. That set went to the 'Place Prepared' and fertilized the Tabernacle Ovum of Sarah. Abraham is the archetype for the Father in Heaven, therefore that area is sometimes called the Mountain of God.
  • Mount Sinai
  • Mount Horeb
Think of Abram and Abraham. There is a distinction.

Much of Revelation 12 is referring back to the Exodus. The Dragon is cast down and becomes Pharaoh:

Next verse:

Revelation 12:10 - 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.

Let us not forget that Salvation came to the Israelites long before Jesus was born.

We have another perfect match with Revelation 12 referring back to the Exodus and the Tabernacles and Temples.

The next verse can be interpreted many ways:

Revelation 12:11 - 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.

Here is one interpretation:

Exodus 12:23 -For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

Saved by the Blood, i.e., the Passover Lamb.

Seems rather obvious what Revelation 12 is all about.

Look:

Isaiah 51:9-10 -Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

Intertextuality. The wounding of the Dragon and the parting of the Red Sea are both linked with each other.

This is the 'meat of the Word' you were never taught.

The Beast *was* - *is not* - *and shall ascend out of the pit*, over and over until all heads are complete.

Revelation 12:12 - 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.

Whenever Satan incarnates as a human, he only has a short time to do what he needs to do, why? Because he is mortal like the rest of us.

Again, it happens more than one time.

Revelation 12:12 - 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, {Insert here in the timeline Satan's 1000- year imprisonment in the Bottomless Pit and when the pit is opened after the 1,000 years, he will be} having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time, {because he will only have 24 years before he is captured and dispatched into the Lake of fire where the Beast and the False prophet had, shortly before hand, also been dispatched.}

The biggest problem in the quote above is that you have suggested that Satan is like a human and mortal, however Satan is a wicked fallen rebelling heavenly hosts just like the beast and the False Prophet/Little Horn are also.

PS: - You have not used cutting edge exegesis.

Thanks Jay. I will hopefully have some time to add my thoughts to your post when I get done with the rest of the verse commentaries.
