[Possibly there is two applications of this chapter: as in line with the rest of Revelation, or as a stand alone insert. My understanding is as a stand alone insert.]

1 - And a great sign, seen in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. (A great sign, a virgin conceived.) 2 She (Israel/the faith/preserved by strict law) was with child and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven, behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. [Rev.1:20 “..the stars are angels..”] And the dragon (via Herod the Great) stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a male son, who is about to shepherd all the nations with a (measuring) rod of iron (unbreakable Truth) and her child (instead of devoured) was caught up to God, and to His throne. 6 And the woman fled (70 A.D.) into the wilderness, where she has a place having been prepared there by God, so that they should nourish her there one thousand two hundred sixty days (likely - in THIS case - years). (70 A.D. more or less +1,260 = 1,330, rise of humanism?)

15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell upon their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. 18 The nations were angry (Ps.2) and your wrath (cause and effect, imo) has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small (stretched out over the next two millenniums!) — and for bringing to ruin those who are ruining the earth.” 19 Then - God’s temple in heaven was opened (this always brings to mind, mine anyway, the word split) and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant (? this reverberates with me..). And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm. (The faster and higher moisture rises, the greater the hail.)

1 - Then I was given a measuring stick/rod, and I was told, “Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the number of worshipers. 2 But do not measure the outer courtyard, for it has been turned over to the nations. They will trample the holy city for 42 months. (And Truth will be trampled?) 3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” (In pressing difficulty.) 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.” (Yet they are upon earth. Rev.7:9 and 4?) 5 Any enemy who tries to harm them will be destroyed/ruined by the fire that comes out of their mouths. (Truth?) 6 These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. (😮) 7 Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will declare war against them, and he will conquer and kill them. 8 Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. (Some think Jesus was executed in Jerusalem but he wasn’t, “..so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore” - Heb.13:12-13.)

     9 For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 10 The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on. 13 At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. 14 The second woe has passed (same point that’s after troops and what look like lions which shoot fire from their mouth, and a great war after the Euphrates has dried up) the third woe is coming soon.

8 Then the voice from heaven spoke to me (John) again, “Go and take the open scroll from the hand of the angel who is standing on sea and land.” 9 When I went over to ask the angel for the little scroll, the angel said, "Take the scroll and eat it! Your stomach will turn sour, but the taste in your mouth will be sweet as honey." (From a commentary - when this ‘little’ book of prophecy is fully digested, it’s troubling.) 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy, again, about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.” (The revelation vision concerning this world, as is, is actually told three times, from different angles. Chapter 10 is an insert, as 12 is, and perhaps 11 — The Three Tellings: 6:1-2 to 11:19 - ch.12 w/ mt.23:39 - 13:1 to 19:11.)
