Revelation 12
Re 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:

-The end of Rev. 11 will not fit with this verse.
Rev. 11 was not seen by John before Rev. 12.

Re 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

Israel


Re 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.



-another wonder

John has a specific way of adding more of the same subject.
such as - angels
wonders
beasts
Understanding this can reveal that the seven thunders told John to seal Revelation. (part of it)

Re 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.

-

stars of heaven/angels


Re 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.

-
Jesus Christ

sits on the right hand of God,
waits for time to make His enemies His footstool

Re 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.

-She will need to get her wings first.

Re 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Re 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Re 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.

Note that here would have been a super time to add in that Satan was the fallen star, if Rev. 11 actually was seen before Rev. 12. However, Satan can't be that star that gets the key to the pit.
Satan has to come down before the 2nd trumpet time of the sea is hurt.


Re 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.

If this chapter comes to John after Rev. 11's (7th trumpet), then the kingdom of God comes twice.
or God lost it
Because in Rev. 11 - the 7th trumpet time brings the kingdoms of this world are His.
This trumpet also starts God's wrath, so it is another reason that the devil's wrath can't just then later start in chapter 12.

Satan's wrath time is before the kingdoms of this world are His, not after.

Re 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.



Verse 10 referred to these people as "brethren". Satan will be cast down to go after the brethren (church). Just as shown in the time of the 5th seal, the ones crying out as to how long must they wait till their fellowservants and their brethen are killed as they were.



Re 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.

-
heaven is to rejoice
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and sea!
for the devil is come down



Re 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.



-the devil cast to the earth
persecutes Israel


Re 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.

-


3.5 years
Does this include the 5 months written about in Rev. 9?
As in the abominaton of desolation happens before the 5th trumpet sounds.

The woman gets her wings to fly with.
So is she there for the five months of the 5th trumpet?
It seems that this is when the 1260 days of the man of sin - the fallen star would start.



Re 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.




flood?
What do you think this means?

war?
a sink hole?
an earthquake?
a dam breaks?
It seems that the devil cannot get to the woman fleeing after this.

Do you think the earth helps the woman, and then comes later the part as to the earth's mouth opened and swallowed up the flood?

Re 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.



helped the woman
swallowed up the flood
Re 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.


Satan not only goes after Israel but now the church.
