Book of Revelation

     {Chapter 12 is the second of three tellings of the revelation vision, but may apply otherwise as well?}

     1 - A great sign appeared in heaven! A woman who was clothed with the sun and the moon was under her feet. Upon her head was a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was with child and was crying out because of her birth pains and the torment of giving birth.

     3 And then another sign appeared in heaven - behold! A great red dragon. This dragon had seven heads and ten horns. And on the heads were seven royal crowns. [“The ‘god’ of this world” 2Cor.4:4 (who ends up being seven “changing” versions of false “light”/entities/‘world’ empires, throughout Earth’s ages.] 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. {Obviously, this is one third of the angels, as surely(?) some angels followed the cherubim which plotted his revolt using Eden - “you were a covering angel [kerub - probably an order of angelic beings, cherub, cherubim — “Yahweh Sabaoth throned on the cherubim” 1Sam.4:4, referring to the Ark of the Covenant. A symbol. Cherubim - a high angel devised in his heart to “ascend above God”. And from being a high angelic being, became a dragon.}

     And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth so that when she bore her child he might devour [kill] it. 5 She gave birth to a manchild, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron {with Truth, a measuring rod that cannot be broken}. But instead he was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 And the woman {after that, and at the razing of Jerusalem in 70 CE} fled into the wilderness, where she {the faith} had a place prepared by God, in which she was to be fed [trephó - made to grow, nourished] for 1,260 ‘days’.
