Rev 12:1 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:
Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12:5 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.
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
This chapter is about the 7 years period that God is allowing the world to have their way and cause all people who do not love Him to follow the New Age Christ.
The woman is Israel which she is protected for the first three and one half years from physical attack.
The man child is Jesus which He will rule all nations with a rod of iron.
The dragon is Satan and the third part of the stars are the angels that followed him.
The 7 heads are 7 kingdoms 1.Egypt 2.Assyria 3.Babylon 4.Medo-Persia 5.Greece. 6.Roman Empire 7.10 horn kingdom the world split in to 10 sections with a leader in each section which is the physical dominion of the beast which they hand their power over to him.
The devil influenced those 7 kingdoms which the crowns are on the heads which is Satan in the spiritual realm deceiving people.
In chapter 12 the crowns are on the horns which is Satan in the physical realm deceiving people as the antichrist.
Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 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.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, 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.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 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.
Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Rev 12:14 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.
Rev 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Rev 12:17 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.
This is not the rebellion in the third heaven and is a war that is in the future which after the first three and one half years the transgressors have come to the full, and Satan and his angels are cast to earth which becomes their holding cell, and Satan appears as the beast, and the devils deceive all people who do not love God to follow the New Age Christ which is the strong delusion He will send all people who love not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.
Israel is protected for the last three and one half years from physical attack, and is sent 2 witnesses to turn her to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
The devil goes against all people who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ for the last three and one half years, and when they shall have scattered the power of the holy people then all things are finished.
Which then comes the end when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to God and put down all authority, power, and rule.
