this woman is Israel shown in Her glory
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”
Revelation 12:1
that’s Israel . The messiah is the son she was going to have
“And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.”
Revelation 12:2, 5
That’s Jesus born as a sin of Israel, crucified and taken up to Gods throne
“This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.”
Acts 2:32-
I am with you up to here amen
this is when the covenant changed the messiah was exalted to the throne to rule all nations . When that happened the dragon Satan was cart out of heaven into this earth we live in . When he was cast out after Christ was exalted to the throne
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
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.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.”
Revelation 12:9, 12-
None of the above things have happened yet
Jesus is not ruling each nation
Satan is not bound he is roaming the earth and also in heaven accusing the saints daily.
again that’s Israel who’s capitol is Jerusalem . The woman who bore the messiah . She then flees and is protected for a short time in the wilderness
“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” ( the gospel )
Revelation 12:
later in revelation you see the woman who fled into the wilderness
“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”
Revelation 12:14 KJV
when that time expires you see the same woman wearing different garments different jewels holding the cup of Gods wrath because the serpent works through the beast ( Appointed men) so you see them in the wilderness you see that her time of protection is over and the serpent corrupted her and she appears riding his beast
“So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:”
Revelation 17:3-4 KJV
who taught you this? It is not the same woman. Babylon is alive today and has been since she lived in the place she got her name. She is queen of many in the OT. Baal worship Came from her. Greek and Roman mythology came from her. Her priests can trace themselves back to Babylon and the tower of babel
It is not jerusalem
Jerusalem as a whore is the subject of several prophecies . Her changing of her garments because of sin is also the subject of prophecy as was the messiahs coming and his eternal
Rule over all nations .
revelation is a vision of past present and future events from scripture leading to what is soon to come
“Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;”
Revelation 1:19 KJV
there’s a perpetual nature to revelation it tells the whole story and leads to the future promise of God to believers a new heaven and earth the kingdom of God and his children
Jerusalem is Gods city. It Played the harlot she was Never the harlot. She was the wife who went out and slept with the harlot, and did not keep her bed. She commited adultry, but she was not the harlot, she sold herself to the harlot
that is why she was destroyed multiple times and has yet to Be totally rebuilt. She is not the harlot. I
Am Not sure who told you this but they are wrong
Jesus in Matt 24 told them to flee when they saw these things. Then there would be great tribulation which ends with the return of Christ and the end of gentile dominion as Paul said in rom 11 at this time all israel
And Jerusalem will be saved
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
Revelation 21:1, 3-5
let’s get the first part right first before we move on
