The woman's appearance has not been altered by the beast.
This is speaking of the 7 years that God is giving the world their way to cause all people that do not love Him to follow the antichrist, and brings Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Lord and Savior, and then He will end sin on earth.
God said He is going to restore the kingdom on earth back to Israel which He will send them 2 witnesses to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Lord and Savior.
God said He is going to bring the whole house of Israel, all 12 tribes, back to their land, and will leave none of them in the nations anymore, and they shall know the LORD their God from that time forward, and He will never hide His face from them again.
God said He will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Which is the battle of Armageddon when God fights the world and defeats them, and saves Israel.
God said as birds flying He shall defend Jerusalem, and preserve it, which is the 6 day war, 1967. which Israeli fighter pilots paved the way to win that war, and they took control of Jerusalem.
If God preserved Jerusalem, and is going to bring Israel to the truth, and restore the kingdom back to the Hebrews, how can Jerusalem be Mystery Babylon if she is favored by Him, as well as the Hebrews.
Mystery Babylon is not Jerusalem but it is the unified religious system with all religions as part of it which all religions is interpreted by the new age movement.
Which the new age movement interprets the Bible according to the occult and evolution, and people are evolving to be spiritual, and Jesus evolved to be an ascended master, and there is no personal God, and the New Age Christ is the final teacher.
Which it is obvious that when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan, and occult ways, and it became their foundation for the interpreting of scriptures.
Because of that they can sway to go along with the world as they change which is what happens with the Pope and Vatican in the future.
Which Pope Francis elected 72% of the Cardinals so they would be in the majority position to elect the new Pope who will side with the New Age Christ, and support the new age movement interpretation of the Bible.
Which the Pope will be the head of a unified religious system, and the Vatican the headquarters which is the woman Mystery Babylon, the whore.
Which is also testified that the whore is the unified religious system with the scripture of the ten horns that shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Which the 10 horns is the world split in to 10 sections with a leader in each section who will support the New Age Christ.
When the New Age Christ claims to be God the 10 horns will hand their power over to him, and that is how he gets control of the world.
He will claim to be above all that is called God, or is worshipped, so they do not need the unified religious system for it is of no benefit anymore, and they have a higher benefit by the New Age Christ causing them to benefit by evolving to be greater.
If it was speaking of Jerusalem it makes no sense for he will try to rule in Jerusalem so why would they get rid of it.
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.
This chapter is about the last 7 years when the New Age Christ rules.
God has His hand on Israel, and favors them, and they will never go down.
This is speaking of Israel, and the 12 stars being the 12 tribes of Israel, and the child is the child Christ Jesus.
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.
The red dragon is Satan who has 7 heads which are the 7 kingdoms on earth.
1. Egypt 2. Assyria 3. Babylon 4. Medo-Persia 5. Greece 6. Roman Empire 7. 10 horn kingdom which shall continue for a short space three and one half years, and then the New Age Christ will rule for three and one half years.
The Bible says that the 8th king, New Age Christ, is of the 7 heads, kings, for those kingdoms were influenced by the devil.
The 10 horns is the physical dominion of the beast kingdom which they shall devour the whole earth, tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Which the Roman Empire does not lose her dominion until Jesus puts the world down.
Babylon, Medo-Persia, and Greece will never have physical dominion again, but their lives were prolonged for a time, and a season, which their ways are still on earth.
All 4 kingdoms show up at the beast kingdom the kingdom of man in its entirety.
Babylon will never have physical dominion again so this is Babylon in spirit which she represents human religion, the occult, and the kingdom of man after she blew the revelation of the God of Israel that He gave them.
Medo-Persia represents physical cruelty in war, and Greece represents human wisdom, and the Roman Empire represents pushing fr power, territory, world domination.
In chapter 12 the crowns are on the heads which is Satan in the spiritual realm deceiving people.
In chapter 13 the crowns are on the heads which is Satan in the physical realm as the New Age Christ deceiving people.
The man child was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne who is Jesus.
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.
The woman fled in to the wilderness where she has a placed prepared of God, and that they should feed her for three and one half years.
Which Israel is protected from physical attack for the first three and one half years for God's plan is to bring Israel to the truth.
Which Paul said that God has not cast away His people that He once foreknew.
And God said if the ordinances of heaven are still in affect, the sun, moon, and stars, then His covenant is still with Israel, and they shall never cease from being a nation.
