The symbolic 'woman' in Rev.12:1 represents God's Israel, even back to the start of the Seed of the Woman in Genesis.
first ERROR of the Day, the seed, and not seeds repersent CHRIST.
In
Genesis 37 the sun and moon were used as symbols in Joseph's dream about his mother and father. The symbol of 11 stars Joseph also dreamed about represented his 11 brethren, Joseph representing the 12 star.
Second ERROR of the DAY, the sun in chapter 12 of revelation is the
Sun of righteousness, (the Christ), who will heal
all nations. (see Malachi 4:2). and the moon at the woman, (the wildreness church), feet, is the Mosaic Law, (see Psalms 119:105). and the 12 stars on here head are the 12 messengers/apostles who are the Foundation, which is laid/Chosen by the chief or
head cornerstone JESUS Christ. the HEAD of the Church is JESUS the Christ.
The "dragon" title is another title for Satan himself we are told in the Rev.12:9 and Rev.20:2 scripture.
your third ERROR of the Day, the GREAT, notice that term GREAT, RED Dragon, is symbolic of king Herod, who in the secular world he was called “the great”, for his reconstruction efforts. remember this is symbolic. the devil who is a spirit get others to do his dirty work, he just work behind the scenes. red here is symbolic for blood, for this king had much blood on his hands. supporting scriptures, Matt 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men”. he also had the blood of John the baptist on his hands. The ten horns is the power of the Roman Empire, which he, (king Herod), ruled by, (the romans). king Herod authority was supported by that power, the Roman Empire. so clearly he is a bloody, (red), dragon. as said, keep one hand on chapter 12 of revelation, and the other on Matthews chapter 2. this vision John sees is the birth of the Christ, the start of the Church, that the Lord Jesus christ is building.
The first 5 verses of Rev.12 cover the time period back when Satan first rebelled in coveting God's throne, and drawing a third of the angels into rebellion with him. It then covers the time when he waited to devour the Seed of the Woman, starting with Abel. Then it covers the future time when Christ will reign over all nations with a rod of iron at His return.
your fourth ERROR of the Day, see post #133 on the tail, and the 3rd that was symbolic.
The Rev.12:6 verse covers the first half of Daniel's symbolic "one week" of Dan.9:27.
ypur fifth ERROR of the day,
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”.
The term “fled” gives us the understanding about the the church in the wilderness, or the protestant movement, that brok away. It’s the Greek term, G5343 φεύγω pheugo (fev'-ğō) v. 1. to run away. 2. (by implication) to shun. 3. (by analogy) to vanish.
{literally or figuratively}
[apparently a primary verb]
KJV:
escape, flee (away)
The KJV can translate the word as “
escape”. so the question, “escape from what?” answer, the things of the world that can entrap a christian. and for some even in leadership, as here in 2 Peter. scripture, 2 Peter 2:20 "For if after they have e
scaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. Verse 21 "For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them”.
The Rev.12:7-17 verses are still future, and are about the coming event of Satan with his angels being cast out of the heavenly dimension down to earth among us, de facto in person. And when that happens he goes after the woman who then represents Christ's faithful Church who keep His commandments and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ.
your sixth ERROR of the Day.
these are those what had escape the cares of this world. Yet HAD NO ROOTS, as the sower parable express, the weeds choked them out. And this is the reason why the church fled/escape into the wilderness. So what do the wilderness means? Wilderness simply means “isolation”, which result in “
separation”. 1 Corinthians 10:21 "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils”. and 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Verse 15 "And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Verse 16 "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Verse 17 "
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, verse 18 "
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty”.
“they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days”. They here are the two witness, but after John’s death, it is the Lord Jesus who is the God of his sheep, meaning the GOOD SHEPHERD, (see John 10:1-18. he feeds his church). and this feeding is done by the Spiritual Gifts poured out beginning at Pentecost.
God has had, and will have a church in the worst of times in this world, (even where Satan seat is at, see rev 2:13). as he reserved a number in Elijah's time, and fed his people in time of drought, likewise he did in the times of the anti-christian apostasy, who bowed not the knee to idolatry, and today he dose the same. this woman, the remnant, and her case, are the same with the 144,000 sealed ones in Rev 7:1, (the first fruit), whom God distinguished, hid, and preserved for the wilderness is a place of safety, solitude. that they, (the two witness), should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. This is the length of the ministry of the two witness, forty two months, or 1260 days. John the Baptist, and the Lord Jesus
“that they should feed her”. meaning the two witness. and what they fed here is the Word of God which was lacking in their time of witness. supportive scripture, Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD". and the Lord Jesus is that BREAD, and that WATER.
Revelation 12:7 "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels”.
Not in the third heaven, the habitation of God, or the seat of the angels and glorified saints, there is no discord and contentions there, nothing but peace, love, and joy. but in the church, and outside, below, which contain some militant, and has in it as it were a company of two armies, the Good the bad, and the ugly on the sidelines. heaven here is on the earth, where the sky/heaven is that which was the heaven of Satan, the god of this world, or the prince of the “
AIR”. and this war refers not to the dispute between Michael the archangel and the devil about the body of Moses, no, but with principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. the name "Michael" is symbolically here for the Lord Jesus, for the Name Michael means "LIKE GOD". and this "WAR" is spiritual. Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Verse 11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Verse 12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Verse 14 "Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; verse 15 "And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; verse 16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Verse 17 "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: verse 18 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”.
now read Post #133, as to the 3rd that was drawn by the dragon (king Herod).... to find out where the child was at in order to kill him. BINGO
