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. Angels are created Spirits. Angels are Father God’s manifested naked thoughts (fig. seeds). Human bodies are manifested coverings (fig. seed pods) of God’s hidden seed-thoughts, thoughts that are deep planted to become metaphorically “a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

 

WONDERS IN HEAVEN

(Rev 12:1,2)  And there appeared a great wonder [Gk: indication: sign] in heaven; a woman [Israel, now encompassing “the church” i.e., us [“a Jew” Rom 2:28,29] clothed [covered] with the sun [light, the blessings of Father God, the anointing], and the moon [reflected (changed) Light; the symbol of Islam, our ultimate national foe] under her feet [i.e., submitted, subdued unto Israel], and upon her head a crown of twelve stars [the twelve tribes of Israel] [biblical 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] [troubled, in tribulation] to be delivered [Gk: bear, bring forth].

 

(Rev 12:3) 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 and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads . (Rev 12:4) And his tail [a tail always follows the head of a body] drew the third part of the stars [angels] of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon [Satan] stood [in rebellious opposition, versus, bowed in submission] before the woman [Israel, the church] which was ready [prepared] to be delivered [Gk: bear, be born, bring forth], for to devour [Gk: to eat down] [consume] her child as soon as it was born. [2]

1.    fascinate = Dict: 1. To put under a spell; to bewitch. 2. To attract or hold motionless, as by a fixed look or by inspiring terror.

2.    (Dan 7:23) Thus he [the angel] said [to Daniel in a “vision by night” (a dream)], The fourth beast [a] shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse [Chaldee: altered, changed (different)] from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth [leopard], and shall tread it down [bear], and break it in pieces [lion]. (Dan 7:24) And the ten horns [biblical symbols of power] out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another [the antichrist beast (Rev 13:1)] shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue [Heb: humble, put down (beneath him)] [the kingdoms of] three kings [thereby leaving the “seven heads” remaining as prophecied in Rev 12:3;13:1]. (Dan 7:25) And he shall speak great words against the most High [i.e., against our Judeo-Christian values through the false prophet (the fake news media)], and shall wear out [Heb: (used only in a mental sense); afflict] the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws [i.e., the antichrist beasts are already now doing exactly that, constantly 24/7]: and they [the remaining “remnant of her seed” saints (Rev 12:17)] shall be given into his hand until [the end of] a time and times and the dividing of time [i.e., 3 ½ years (Dan 7:25), but “for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” Matt 24:22; Mark 13:20.

a.     (Rev 13:1)  And I stood upon the sand of the sea [a symbol of humanity, live people], and saw a beast [Gk: a dangerous animal: (venomous, wild) beast] rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns [ref. Dan 7:24], and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. (Rev 13:2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power [Gk: force: violence] [“strong delusion” 2 Thes 2:11], and his seat [President of the United States], and great authority [as “the god of this world” 2 Cor 4:4].

FIRST THE RAPTURE…

(Rev 12:5) And she [the Israelite Church (us)] brought forth a man child, who was to rule [Gk: to tend as a shepherd] all nations with a rod of iron [symbol of judgment, “Know ye not that we shall judge angels?” 1 Cor 6:3]: and her child [us] was caught up [Gk: harpazo; seized, caught (away, up), plucked, pulled, taken (by force)] unto God [into safety from Satan], and to his throne [1].

1.    (1 Thes 4:15-17) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain [here] unto the [time of the second] coming of the Lord [Jesus Christ] shall not prevent [Gk: to go before, precede] them which are asleep [Gk: are deceased: are dead]. For the Lord [Jesus Christ, the Head of the Body of Christ (of the anointed)] himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel [Michael], and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ [Gk: the anointed] [the saved dead] shall rise first: Then we [the saved] which are [still] alive and remain shall be caught up [Gk: harpazo; seized, caught (away, up), plucked, pulled, taken (by force)] together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord [the Head (Jesus) joining the Body (us)] in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

…THEN THE GREAT TRIBULATION…

(Rev 12:6-9) And the woman [“the remnant of her seed” Rev 12:17] fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of [by] God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days [3 ½ years]. And there was war in heaven [symbolized by Great Tribulation on earth]: Michael and his [holy innocent] angels [including the “raptured” saints] fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his [unholy fallen] angels [fought], And [the dragon] prevailed not; neither was their place [Gk: location (home)] found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world [with “strong delusion” 2 Thes 2:11, with lies]: he was cast out into the earth [Gen 2:7], and his angels were cast out with him.

 

(Rev 12:10-12) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation [Gk: rescue or safety: saving], and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they [the raptured Saints of all ages] overcame him [(Satan) who was inside them] by the blood [sacrifice] of the Lamb, and by the word [the Bible witness] of their testimony; and they loved not [martyred] their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time [i.e., 3 ½ years, which itself shall be shortened for “the elect’s sake” who are “saved” after the simultaneous rapture/beginning of Great Tribulation event occurs].

 

…AND THE REMNANT OF HER SEED

(Rev 12:13-17) And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman [the Israelite Church] which brought forth [(past tense)] the man child [i.e., the raptured Saints]. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle [the Old testament and the New Testament] [1], that she might [spiritually] fly into the wilderness, into her [appointed] place, where she is nourished [taught the Bible] for a time, and times, and half a time [3 ½ years, Dan 7:25], from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood [the sea of secular humanity] after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth [an earthquake], and swallowed up the flood [of secular humanity] which the dragon cast out of his mouth. (Rev 12:17) And the dragon was wroth [Gk: enraged; to become exasperated] with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed [those who were “seeded” before the rapture, but not “saved” until after i.e., during the Geat Tribulation], which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

1.    (Exo 19:4) Ye have seen what I [Jehovah God] did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare [Heb: carried] you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

Amen
