BOOK OF REVELATION IN PICTURES - LESSON ONE - CHAPTER TWELVE

The Woman ~ The Faith

A woman with twelve stars around her head,

gives birth to a manchild (Son of man).

Revelation chapter twelve is an insert and a history all its own.

Many have mistakenly sealed all of Revelation in a box called "7 years".
This greatly obscures the message.

A red dragon tries to devour the child as soon as he is born.

 (Herod the Great ordered all young boy 

children in Bethlehem be slain.)

But the child was caught up to God's throne.

Ephesians 1:20 - "God raised Him from the dead and seated 

Him at His right hand in the heavenly places."

And the woman "fled".  

(A migration of the faith "to a new place".)

70 a.d.

...And war broke out in heaven..

..and the dragon was

no longer allowed access to the heavens..                   

"Rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the inhabitants of the earth.. For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath.."

                                                                                 -- Verse 12

                                                           

  

        " And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, 

                                           he persecuted the woman.." [the faith] -- Verse 13

"But the woman" (the faith) 

"was given two wings of an eagle.."

"that she might fly to a wilderness place.."

                                                                                                       --Verse 14a

"...to be nourished and safe from the face of the dragon 

for 3.5 divisions of time.." -- Verse 14c

 + 350 =

"Then the serpent" (guise of the dragon) 

"spewed water out of his mouth like a flood, 

after the woman, that he might cause her 

to be swept away by the flood..." -- Verse 15

"But the Earth will swallow the flood." -- Verse 16

i.e.

 "The earth will swallow the flood."

"Then the dragon.. went off to wage war against the rest of the woman's children —  those who keep God’s commands and" (by then) "hold fast their testimony about Jesus." -- Verse 17

"Jerusalem you shall see me no more, until, you say -
'blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!'  " Mt. 23:39

                

"Then I John saw three unclean spirits like frogs.. out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, spirits of demons.. to gather the kings and all the world to that great day of Armageddon.. `lo, I do come as a thief, happy is the one who is watching'.."

 - Revelation 16:14,15

"When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, 

then know that the desolation thereof is nigh." - Luke 21:20

       ~ ~ ~

A Riddle ~ "From the time the daily/perpetual sacrifice" (or current place of continual prayers?) "is removed ~ and the abomination that causes desolation is set  up ~ there will be 1,290 days.  Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches, the end of the 1,335 days." (45 days later)  ~~ Daniel 12:11,12

Revelation #1 - The Bible Tells Us All Things

~ ~ ~ This is Prophecy Sentence Part 1 ~ ~ ~
[ R.12:14(USA) ]
[Key: See a horse come galloping. The dust that's raised, hides the vision. For every Seal is a blend of its beginning and its end. Revelation 10,11,12,13 and 14 are inserts. Pray to see.. R.=Revelation]
R.12:14(USA)
Revelation 12:14 - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) - "and there were given to the woman two wings of the great eagle, that she may fly" (sail) "to the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time" (a 3.5 modern division) "from the face of the serpent".. Interesting note! Everywhere else in this chapter, is written "the dragon" except here, where in the next verse, verse 15, a flood (a proliferation) is loosed after the woman. This "serpent" is the beguiling mode of "the dragon". Verse 16 says "but the earth helped the woman and swallowed the flood that had come from the dragon's mouth".
 - (Leading to this, aka, previously in Revelation chapter 12) - The Son of Man, who will rule with a rod of Iron (un-breakable rule) was born to the woman who has a crown or halo of twelve stars (12 tribes) but the dragon tried to devour Him (in the person of Herod) but couldn't and the Son of man was caught up to God and His throne (where He now sits at the right hand of God, Hebrews 1:3). So the dragon pursues the woman (70 A.D.) but she(now the gospel) runs/migrates to a new place. There's war in heaven and the Dragon is no longer allowed access to heaven, so enraged, he persecutes/inquisitions the woman but she is given the two wings of an eagle that she may sail to a new place (a second migration of the gospel, or i.e. the body/church).
- "Where she is kept safe from the face of the serpent for three and and a half" divisions of time - 1620 + 350 = roughly 1970, when a flood/proliferation of seduction is poured out against the woman in order to wash her (the gospel) away from the face of the earth.. (A previously hidden, or in the shadows societal phenomenon is unleashed.)
- Here's something interesting. I have always felt prophecy patterns are repeating patterns.. Three times plus half a time (3.5) is here in Revelation 12 (a whole history summed). Also counting from 1970 to a great flood spewed, or flooding, is three and one half (3.5) decades to Hurricane Katrina in the year 2005, and release of the book "An Inconvenient Truth" in 2006.
---------------------------
** Note - Additional 3.5's: Dan 7:25 & 12:7; Rev 11:2-3,13:5 all these = same time, which is also prophet Daniel's 12:11 and 12 which says, between such and such (a more complete fulfillment of Matthew 24:2 concerning the Temple complex in Jerusalem) "shall be 1,290 days" or three and a half (Hebrew) years, plus an extra month (a leap month, or what is a Hebrew leap year). And verse 12 says "blessed is the person who comes to the 1,335 days" which is 45 days later.. ten days of which will be "tribulation"(Rev 2:10).. 35 days of cannot buy or sell, escalates to "ten days tribulation".

Revelation #3 - Not Even One Stone

The whole sentence:  R.12:14(USA) + (R.6:12-17 + 13:13@1945) + (Mt.24:1,2 + Dan.12:11a) + [Lk.23:31 + R.12:16 + Mk.13:8] + [Dan.12:11,12 + R.13:17 + Mt.24:15] = [R.20:4b\R.2:10 + Dan.12:12] + (R.18:2-19,24 + 17:2)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
In other words, what I have gathered will likely unfold concerning Bible 'end' times prophecy is there will be a seven year peace treaty of the nations of the world. (Or just in the Middle East as some think?) In "the midst" or middle of this 'peace' the Wailing Wall, a place of daily worship and petition in Jerusalem, will be taken away and removed. And roughly three and one half years later, the "abomination which desolates" (666) will be "set-up" affecting "buying and selling" for forty five days, with the last ten days becoming critical (Revelation 20:4b and 2:10). [Daniel 9:27; 12:11,12 and Matthew 24:1,2]
 ~ I'm on the look out for a verse or verses which mention a 'marriage' of two world political powers.. The (world) beast of Rev 13:1-10 married to or infiltrated by the political force which has in it Rev 20:4b.
