Revelation 12

 

Revelation 12

 

There is much teaching on Revelation and on chapter 12, here is what GOD showed me. Verses 1-5 happened before the foundation of the earth was laid, in Eternity.

 

“Now a great sign appeared in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a garland of twelve stars.” Many believe that this is Israel and I believe this also, but not physical Israel – Eternal Israel. The twelve stars are the twelve Eternal tribes of Israel.*

 

“Being with Child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.” CHRIST JESUS was conceived and born Eternally then in the physical and Spiritual realm (1 Peter 1:15-20; Revelation 13:8; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-38, 2:1-20; John 1:45)

 

“And another sign appeared in Heaven: behold, a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.” The first sentence happened in Eternity the second happened after creation (Genesis 3:14-15; Luke 10:17-20; John 8:44; Romans 16:20)

 

“And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to GOD and His Throne.” CHRIST being caught up to GOD and His Throne happened in Eternity, CHRIST has not ruled with a rod of iron yet. (Revelation 19:1-6)

 

“Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by GOD; that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred sixty days.” So where was this wilderness, Mary, the mother of JESUS did not flee to a wilderness for three and a half years without her Child! This was in Eternity! In Revelation times are usually done in days or months that when divided come out to about three and a half years, with the exception of Revelation 2:10, and 9:10.

 

“And war broke out in Heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was any place found for them in Heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angles were cast out with him” This was after creation (Genesis 3:1-15; Job 1:6-12, 2:1-9; Isaiah 12:14-15; Matthew 25:41)

 

‘”Then I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, ‘Now Salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our GOD, and the Power of His CHRIST have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our GOD day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the Blood of The LAMB and by the word of their testimony and they did not love their lives to the death. Therefore rejoice O Heavens, and all you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.’” (Romans 16:19-20; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 John 5:4-5)

 

“Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) who had given birth to the male Child (CHRIST). But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the Commandments of GOD and have the Testimony of JESUS CHRIST.” There are lots of interpretations for this passage of scripture (Revelation 12:13-17), there is only two things that are clear. That Lucifer is cast to the earth and persecutes Israel and the Church. The time, times and half a time could be the first three and a half years of the anti-christ’s reign where there is a peace accord with Israel.

 

* Physical Israel demonstrates what happened Eternally, the physical realm is playing out what happened Eternally. Eternity exists because GOD exists; within Eternity every Spiritual and physical thing and event has played out, but we are just now experiencing it. In Eternity there is no time, GOD knows the end from the beginning, 1000 years (physically) is 1 day (24 hours) to GOD and 1 day is 1000 years to GOD. GOD did not invent time until the fourth day of creation. (Genesis 1:1-5, 14-19; Psalm 90:3-4; Proverbs 8:22-31; Isaiah 46:8-10; John 1:1-5, 8:44; 2 Peter 3:5-9)

 

Many believe as I do that the seven days of creation represent the seven thousand years of humanities rule over creation; the last day (thousand years) being the reign of CHRIST over the nations from Jerusalem (The Sabbath Millennium) before time ends and all who are redeemed to The Father by The Blood of JESUS enter into Eternity. (Revelation 20-22)

 

Many believe as I do that time is divided in to four eras, three two thousand year eras and one one-thousand year era. Creation to Abraham; Abraham to JESUS CHRIST; The Church to CHRIST’s Reign from Jerusalem; CHRIST’s Reign from Jerusalem over the nations. Then Eternity!
