God's Woman!

Revelation Chapter 12

Then a great and wondrous sign appeared in Heaven:

A Woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under Her feet

And a crown of twelve stars on He head.

She was pregnant and cried out in pain as She was about to give birth.

[The “Woman”, the Bride of Christ, The Israel of God,

Is clothed with Christ the Son and pregnant by Christ through the Holy Spirit

With the fruit of her ministry, a male child.]

Then another sign appeared in heaven:

An enormous red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns

And seven crowns on his heads.

His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.

The Dragon stood in front of the Woman who was about to give birth,

So that he might devour her child the moment it was born.

She gave birth to a son, a male child,

Who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.

And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.

The Woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God,

Where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.(Revelation 12:1-6)

The “Dragon”, Satan has swept a third of the stars out of the sky;

He has deceived and perverted a third of the leaders of the “Church” of God,

And caused the “Apostasy”, the “Rebellion” in the “Church,”

That allows the Beast to set up his “image” in the “Church,”

The “Abomination That Causes Desolation”.

Satan, the red Dragon, stands in front of her

So that he might devour her child.

However, God snatches the child up to His throne,

And the Woman, The Bride of Christ, is taken into the desert,

To a place prepared for her by God where she is taken care of for 1,260 days,

The time of The Great Tribulation.

The Bride of Christ does not endure The Great Tribulation.

[2 Thessalonians 4:16-17, describes the second coming of Christ

At the end of the Great Tribulation.]

In the Millennium the male child will rule the nations, along side of Christ

And His Bride,With an iron scepter.

When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth,

He pursued the Woman

Who had given birth to the male child.

The Woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,

So that She might fly to the place prepared for Her in the desert,

Where She would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time,

Out of the Serpent's reach.

Then from his mouth the Serpent spewed water like a river,

To overtake the Woman and sweep Her away with the torrent.

But the earth helped the Woman by opening up its mouth

And swallowing the river

That the Dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

Then the Dragon was enraged at the Woman

And went off to make war against the rest of Her offspring--

Those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

And the Dragon stood on the shore of the sea. (Revelation 12:13-17, 13:1)

The Dragon, Satan, the Serpent is hurled to the earth

And the first thing that he does is to pursue the Woman.

Why is this?

Because as the representative of God on earth, the Bride of Christ;

She is the only one who stands in the way of his complete rule!

When She is out of the way he controls the earth and all its inhabitants.

God Almighty has allowed this.

The Bride of Christ has finished Her ministry on earth;

All appointed to salvation have come in.

Now the people of the earth who have rejected God,

Christ Jesus and His Bride,

Receive what their wickedness demands, the judgment of God.

The “Woman” is given two wings of a great eagle and flown into the desert

To a place God has prepared for her, out of the reach of Satan,

Where He protects her for three and one half years.

The other time when God delivered His people on the wings of an eagle

Was when He delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Satan spews out of his mouth a river of death,

But God opens up the earth and swallows up the river.

The Dragon is enraged at the “Woman” and his failure to kill her.

He now goes off to make war against the rest of her off-spring--

Those who obey God's commandments

And hold to the testimony of Jesus.

The Bride of Christ has just ministered on earth, in the fullness of Christ.

Those who receive Christ Jesus in His fullness, who become ONE with Him,

Are part of the Bride; “The Woman.”

These are those who have been crucified with Christ and no longer live

But Christ lives in them.

They have died to this world and its ways

And have given their lives completely to Christ Jesus, holding nothing back.

They have become ONE with Christ Jesus (see John 17).

Many, however, who name the Name of Christ,

Do not respond to the ministry of the Bride, and even persecute her.

They have made a confession of faith

And hold to the testimony of Christ Jesus, but do not become ONE with Him;

They remain in the Outer Court, and do not enter the Holy Place;

They do not have sufficient “Oil”; They are lukewarm; These are left behind.

It is against these that the dragon makes war;

These are killed (beheaded) by the Dragon and his representative, the Beast,

When they maintain, their confession of faith.

When the last of these are killed, Christ Jesus returns.

There are those who claim the Name of Christ,

Who believe that The Book of Revelation is an allegory, just a symbolic story.

When they realize that it is a reality and that they are in the midst of it,

They come to their senses and stand and die for Christ.

The Dragon stands on the shore of the sea,

Looking at the mass of humanity that he is about to deceive

And send to their Eternal Death, into the Lake of Fire;

The same place that he knows is his destination.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

Save yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
