WHERE IN REVELATION CHAPTER TWELVE IS THE U.S.?

Can you tell me where in the chapter is the U.S.?

Is the U.S. in Bible prophecy? In the Book of Revelation?
Before we move on from the pause of thermonuclear being used as warfare, it's important to note a second way in which the Revelation vision is obscured. At least three chapters are inserts. The most prominent being chapters twelve and thirteen. Each one is a history and account of its own.

Revelation chapter twelve begins by showing us a woman. One with a circle of twelve stars around her head and who is about to give birth to a manchild (Son of man). She is Israel. But even more so, she is the instrument of God.

The dragon (called Satan, verse 9) tries to devour the manchild (Son of man) as soon as He is born - "and Herod had the male children of Bethlehem put to the sword" - but He was caught up to God and His throne, where He now sits on the right hand of God (Ephesians 1:20).

The dragon, enraged, pursued the woman (Israel, 70 A.D.) and the woman fled, a first, for the most part, migration of the faith. Christianity, now, for a time, the instrument of God, begun with the twelve apostles. (Note: Disciple Judas was replaced, Acts 1.)

There is war in heaven, Satan and his one third angels are no longer allowed celestial access, and he in great wrath persecutes (inquisitions) the woman. But she is given the two wings of an eagle that she may fly (sail?) to a new place where she is kept safe from the face of the dragon for 3.5 (modern) divisions of time.

There may indeed be a days of great tribulation fulfillment of Revelation chapter 12, with the 3.5 being computed differently, but I see this as 1620+350=1970 when the serpent (guise of the dragon) spewed water as a flood (vomited a proliferation) after the woman in an attempt to wash the woman (the faith) from off the Earth. But the Earth opens its mouth and swallows the flood (resulting in drought, see Luke 23:29,31).

Then the dragon returns his attention (fully) to the remainder of the woman's children who has the commandments of God and (by now) the testimony of Jesus (see Matthew 23:37,39 and Revelation 16:14,15,16).

REVELATION STUDY - INTRODUCTION

This study will be in little bites, pun intended! And it will start at chapter six - because the Book of Revelation prophecy vision rolls out from chapter six.

However, there are some awesome things written in chapters one through five! Jesus is given a scroll, and at chapter six He unrolls it. This is the Revelation prophecy.

The scroll is sealed with seven seals which are broken, consecutively, as He unrolls the scroll. When the first seal is broken, the first horseman of the apocalypse - one of four - comes riding out.

"Apocalypse" which the Book of Revelation is often called, is a Greek word which means the "unveiling". The Book of Revelation is the climax of mankind's story and history. Without a climax and conclusion, nothing would be learned. Even "the angels are watching.."

The Serpent Guise Of The Dragon

All through Revelation, chapter twelve, of the Bible, we read about "the dragon". He waits in front of the woman who gives birth to a manchild who will rule all nations with a rod of iron (unbreakable law and principle) in order to devour the manchild (a son of man) as soon as he is born. We can almost hear "Rachel weeping"...

But the manchild is not devoured. Instead he is caught up to God and his throne. (Hebrews 1:3) At which point, said dragon is enraged and pursues the woman, and there is a first migration (of the faith). There's war in heaven, Michael and his angels battle with the dragon and his angels, who do not prevail, and after which, the dragon is denied further access to the heavens.

He's pretty ticked off about that, so he persecutes the woman, and she is given the two wings of an eagle - a second migration of the faith - so she may fly away from the inquisitions to a new place where she is, for a "set time" (Strong's #2540) and "short while" kept safe from the face, countenance, fashion (Strong's #4383) of the dragon. (A set time of 3.5.)

But the serpent, after the set, short while, spews some sort of flood (proliferation) (Strong's #4215 current, stream, river) after the woman so she will be washed away (Strong's #4216) "overwhelmed, carried away" by the flood.

We know the serpent is the dragon, for the next verse (verse 16) says "But the earth" (in the vision John saw) "came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spewed from his mouth." (Amplified Version) [Cross-Reference - Luke 23:31!]

Why is the dragon in the one verse, referred to as "the serpent"?
