The Sign of the Woman Clothed with the Sun |
Revelation 12:1-17 The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks] |
And a great wonder, [a.k.a. a sign,] appeared there in heaven. A woman clothed with the sun, & the moon [was] under her feet. And upon her head, [was] a crown [with] 12 stars. And she [was] with child, [a.k.a. pregnant, laboring] in birth, [with birth] [pains,] [during] [delivery.] |
And another wonder, [a.k.a. sign,] appeared there in heaven. And [I, a.k.a. John,] [saw] a great, [a.k.a. large,] red dragon, having 7 heads, & 10 horns, & 7 crowns upon his heads. [Daniel 7:7-8 After this, in the night visions, I [also] saw a 4th beast, dreadful & terrible, & exceedingly strong. And it had [large] iron teeth & it devoured, & [broke into] pieces, & [trampled what remained] with [his] feet. And it was [different] from all the beasts that were before, [a.k.a. prior to,] it. And it had 10 horns. I considered the horns, & [saw] another little horn come up there among them, before whom there were 3 of the 1st horns, [pulled] up by the roots. And, [saw] in this [little] horn [there] were eyes, like the eyes of [a] man, & a mouth, speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] things.] |
And his tail drew [1/3] of the stars of heaven, & cast, [a.k.a. threw,] them to the earth. And the dragon stood [in front of] the woman, [who] was ready to be delivered, [in order] to devour her Child, as soon as It was born. |
*And she brought forth, [a.k.a. delivered,] a [male] Child, Who was to rule all nations with [an] iron rod. And her Child was caught up to God, & to His throne. [Revelation 19:15-16 And a sharp sword goes out of His mouth, [so] that He should [strike] the nations with it, & He shall rule them with a rod of iron. And He [tramples] the winepress, [with] the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God. And He has a Name written on His vesture, & on His thigh, KING OF KINGS, & LORD OF LORDS.] |
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she [has] a place prepared [by] God, [so] that they should feed her there 1,260 days. [Revelation 11:3-4 And I will give power to My 2 witnesses, & they shall prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the 2 Olive Trees & the 2 candlesticks, [a.k.a. lampstands,] standing [in front of] the God of the earth.] |
And there was war in heaven. Michael, [a.k.a. Arch Angel,] & his Angels fought against the dragon; & the dragon & his angels fought, & didn't prevail, [a.k.a. succeed.] Neither was there found in heaven [any] place [for them] anymore. |
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, [a.k.a. snake,] called the Devil, & Satan, which [deceives] the whole world, & he was cast out into the earth. And his angels were cast out with him. |
And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now [has:] Salvation, strength, & the Kingdom of our God, & the power of His Christ come. For the accuser of our brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] is cast down, [that] accused them day & night before our God. And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb, & by the [Words] of their Testimony [about Jesus Christ.] And they didn't love their lives, [a.k.a. they risked their lives, until] death. [Revelation 2:10-11 [Don't] fear [any] of those things [that] you [shall] suffer. [Watch,] the devil shall cast some of you into prison, [so] that you may be tried, [a.k.a. tested.] And you shall have tribulation, 10 days. You, be faithful [until] death, & I will give you a crown of Life. He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches. He, [who overcomes] shall not be hurt [from] the 2nd death.] |
Therefore, you heavens, & you, [who] dwell in them rejoice. Woe, [a.k.a. distress,] to the [inhabitants] of the earth & the sea! For the devil [has] come down to you, having great wrath, [a.k.a. fury,] because he [knows] that he [has only] a short time. |
And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman, [who delivered] the [male] Child. And the woman [was] given 2 wings of a great, [a.k.a. large,] eagle, [so] that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished from the face of the serpent, for: a time, and times; & [1/2] a time. [Daniel 7:24-25 And the 10 horns [from] this kingdom, are 10 kings that shall arise. And another shall rise after them, & he shall be [different] from the 1st. And he shall subdue, [a.k.a. bring under control by persuasion or force,] 3 kings. And he shall speak, great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] words against the Most High, & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change times & Laws: & they shall be given into his hand until a time, & times, and the dividing of time.] |
And out of his mouth, the serpent cast out water [like] a flood after the woman, [so] that he might cause her to be carried away [by] the flood. And the earth helped the woman, & the earth opened [its] mouth, & swallowed up the flood, [that] the dragon cast out of his mouth. [Isaiah 59:19-20 *So [those,] from the West, shall fear, [a.k.a. respect:] the Name of the Lord, & His glory from the rising sun, [a.k.a. in the East.] The [Holy] Spirit [from] the Lord, shall lift up a standard, [a.k.a. banner or flag,] against him, when the enemy shall come in like a flood. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, & to [those, who return] from [sin] in Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel, says] the Lord.] |
And the dragon was wroth, [a.k.a. furious,] with the woman, & went to make war with the [rest] of her seed, [a.k.a. descendants, who] keep the commandments of God & have the Testimony [about] Jesus Christ. |
