Revelation
Chapter 12
1
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 her head.
2
She was pregnant and cried out in pain
As
she was about to give birth
3
Then another sign appeared in heaven:
An
enormous Red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns
And
seven crowns on his heads.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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”.
The “Woman”, the
Bride of Christ is pregnant by Christ
With the Fruit of her
ministry, a male child.
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.
In the Millennium the
male child will Rule the Nations,
Along side of Christ,
with an Iron Scepter.
7
And there was war in heaven.
Michael
and his Angels fought against the Dragon,
And
the Dragon and his Angels fought back.
8
But he was not strong enough,
And
they lost their place in Heaven.
9
The Great Dragon was hurled down--
That
Ancient Serpent called the Devil or Satan,
WHO
LEADS THE WHOLE WORLD ASTRAY.
He
was hurled to the Earth, and his Angels with him.
10
Then I heard a loud Voice in Heaven say:
NOW
HAVE COME THE SALVATION AND THE POWER
AND
THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD,
AND
THE AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST.
For
the Accuser of our brothers
Who
accuses them before our God day and night,
Has
been hurled down.
11
They Overcame him by the blood of the Lamb
And
by the word of their Testimony;
They
did not love their lives so much
As
to shrink from death.
12
Therefore rejoice, you heavens
And
you who dwell in them!
BUT
WOE TO THE EARTH AND THE SEA,
Because
the Devil has gone down to you!
He
is Filled with Fury,
BECAUSE
HE KNOWS THAT HIS TIME IS SHORT.'
(Revelation
12:7-12)
Until this
time God has allowed Satan
To Rule over the Earth
With the exception of
the Bride of Christ.
In Heaven, Satan, is
continually
Bringing accusation
against God's people.
However, Satan, could
not prevent
The ministry of the
Bride of Christ.
When he tries to devour
The Fruit of her
ministry, the male child,
God snatches the child
up to Heaven.
The Bride and the male
child have overcome Satan and his deception
By the blood of the
Lamb and the word of their Testimony,
Just as the Saints of
all ages have.
Many giving their lives
for Christ Jesus.
This is the beginning
of the End for Satan.
He and his Fallen
Angels
Are forced to the Earth
by the Heavenly Angels.
This begins the period
of The Great Tribulation,
Where an angry Satan,
knowing his time is short,
Is allowed to
Perpetrate the Full Extent of his Evil
Upon an Unbelieving
mankind;
Those who have rejected
God and His Christ.
13
When the Dragon saw that he had been hurled to the Earth,
He
pursued the Woman
Who
had given birth to the male child.
14
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.
15
Then from his mouth the Serpent spewed water like a river,
To
overtake the Woman and sweep her away with the torrent.
16
But the Earth helped the Woman by opening up its mouth
And
swallowing the river
That
the Dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17
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)
This
is the New Thing God is going to do
He
will make a Way in the Desert for the Bride of Christ.
Listen
to Isaiah speak about this:
18
'Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
19 SEE, I AM
GOING TO DO A NEW THING!
Now it springs up;
do you not perceive it?
I
AM MAKING A WAY IN THE DESERT
AND
STREAMS IN THE WASTELAND.
20 The wild
animals honor Me, the jackals and the owls,
BECAUSE
I PROVIDE WATER IN THE DESERT
AND
STREAMS IN THE WASTELAND
TO
GIVE DRINK TO MY PEOPLE , MY CHOSE,
21
THE PEOPLE I FORMED FOR MYSELF
THAT
THEY MAY PROCLAIM MY PRAISE.
(Isaiah 43:18-21)
Only one other time
were the children of Israel
Delivered on the Wings
of an Eagle
And that was when God
Delivered them from Egypt.
