God is Thought. The brightness of our revelations depends upon the correctness of our doctrines, our building blocks, our Godly Thoughts laid one upon another, ascending into the mind of Christ.

 

(Rev 12:1,2)  And there appeared a great wonder [Gk: indication: sign] in heaven; a woman [Israel (now encompassing “the church” us)] [1] clothed [covered] with the sun [Jesus Christ] [2], and the moon [the symbol of Islam, the ultimate foe] under her feet [i.e., submitted, subdued unto Israel], and upon her head a crown of twelve stars [the twelve tribes of Israel] [Bible stars are angels]: And she being with child [pregnant] cried, travailing in birth [Gk: experiencing the pains of parturition (childbirth)], and pained [Gk: tortured: tormented, tossed, vexed] to be delivered [Gk: bear, bring forth] [3].

1.    (Rom 2:28,28)  For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter [in the flesh]; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

2.    (Psa 19:4-6) Their [the angels’] line [Heb: musical string] is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end [Heb: extremity] of the world [Heb: globe]. In them [in their words which are God’s words] hath he set a tabernacle [Heb: a dwelling place] for the sun [symbolically, Jesus Christ, the Son], Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and [He, the bridegroom] rejoiceth as a strong man [Heb: powerful; warrior: champion] to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid [Heb: concealed, kept secret] from the heat [Heb: sun] thereof.

3.    Commentary: We who are “the man child” (v.5) are emulating Jesus Christ; we shall be “delivered” (raptured up) “in the “twinkling of an eye” (1 Cor 15:52), which action also shall initiate the beginning of Great Tribulation.

 

(Rev 12:3,4)  And there appeared another wonder [Gk: indication: sign] in heaven; and behold a great red [the color of blood] [“the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev 17:11)] dragon [Gk: (to look); a fabulous kind of serpent: (supposed to fascinate)] [1], having seven heads [symbolic of independently thinking persons] and ten horns [symbols of kinds of power], and seven crowns [symbols of authority, kings perhaps, rulers, dictators] upon his heads. And his tail drew [and they willingly followed] the third part of the stars of heaven [a third of good (innocent) angels (spirits) became evil fallen angels, i.e., fallen spirits (Psa 104:4)], and did cast them to [versus into] the earth [see the parable of the fallen angels (Luke 15:11-32)] [imprisoned within the bodies of men ]: and the dragon [Lucifer-Satan] stood [defiantly (aggressively) unbowed] before the woman [Israel (now encompassing “the church” us)] which was ready [prepared, i.e., matured enough] to be delivered [to be immediately active, dynamic – exercising “dunamis”], for to devour [Gk: to eat down] [to swallow: in effect, to imprison (possess)] her child [lest we further mature, beyond his control into adulthood] as soon as it was born [raptured].

1.    fascinate = Dict: to put under a spell; to bewitch. [hypnotize, utilizing repetition – spellbound]

a.     Satan = Heb: opponent; the arch enemy of good: adversary. |||| Gk: the accuser, the devil.

 

(Rev 12:5,6)  And she brought forth a man [Gk: male] child, who was to [shall] rule all nations with a rod of iron [1]: and her child [the male shepherds of the fold] was caught up [Gk: seized: caught away, plucked up, taken] [raptured] unto God [for 3 ½ years, “time and times and the dividing of time” (Dan 7:25)] [2], and to his throne [for further training (maturation)]. And the woman [the sheep of the fold] fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place [of safety] prepared of God, that they [the unsaved but sympathetic peoples] should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days [3 ½ years].

1.    (Rev 2:26,27)  And he that overcometh [Gk: subdues: conquers, prevails, gets the victory] [OVER HIMSELF, over his soulical man], and keepeth [Gk: watches (over), guards: holds fast to] my works [Gk: acts: deeds, labours] [the Bible] unto the end, to him [Who is him? You are him!] will I [Jesus Christ] give power over the nations: And he [Who is he? You are he!] shall rule them [the nations] with a rod of iron; as the [clay] vessels of a potter shall they [the nations] be broken to shivers [Gk: crushed completely, shattered: broken in pieces] [during the Millennium]: even as I [Jesus Christ] received of my Father.

a.     Commentary: “a rod of iron= is a symbol of severe judgment initiated by the wooden rod of Moses (Exo 4:1-5), i.e., a symbol of his sin, which has been metamorphosizing incrementally throughout the Bible into the iron rod of judgment.

2.    (Dan 7:25)  And he [the head antichrist person, who is demonically inhabited and possessed directly by Satan] shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the [sheep] saints of the most High [“and to overcome them” Rev 13:7], and think to change times and laws: and they [the sheep saints] shall be given into his hand [Heb: power] until a time and times and the dividing of time [“a time, and times, and half a time: (Rev 12:14)] [3 ½ years, for the duration of the Great Tribulation].

 

Three and onehalf years after the rapture.

NEXT

The second coming of Jesus Christ with His raptured shepherd saints to earth to commence the first resurrection, that of the sheep saints, and the beginning of the 1,000 years Millennium.

(Rev 19:1-16)

 

Commentary: the latter notes are the essence of the eschatology that I have received from our Lord through the Holy Spirit thus far. A vocalized greatly amplified understanding is available at www.youtube.com or at www.tabernacleofmoses.org. Although much of this exegesis is truth, I am discomforted by some because it lacks perfection… and I will most gratefully and happily receive any helpful biblically documented corrections. Thank you. God bless you.
