In the following five verses from Revelation there is a wealth of information and it contains our past, present and future. Our beginning and end.
Revelation 12:1-5 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: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 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. 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. 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.
The Bible isn’t a history of the world but rather it is His-story. It is about Jesus and His family and how He pertains to the world. He is the sun, Light…Satan is the moon, darkness and we are the stars.
Next....the great red dragon.
