My prophetic word and interpretation on revelation chapter 12

Hey everyone! Let's dive into chapter 12! Isn't it amazing how nothing with God is a coincidence? It's fascinating that the story of the woman and the dragon, which relates to Israel, is in the 12th chapter. There are 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Christ Jesus, and 12 gates in Jerusalem. And let's not overlook the 12 zodiac signs, which are linked to the fallen angels. Forget about the math, numerology, and numeric systems that equate to written language for a moment. Keep all these incredible connections in mind!

Now let's dive into the first breakdown interpretation.

The Woman and the Dragon

12 A great 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 its heads. ⁴ Its 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 it might devour her child the moment he was born. ⁵ She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”^[a] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. ⁶ The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.

⁷ Then war broke out 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 Messiah.For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,    who accuses them before our God day and night,    has been hurled down.¹¹ They triumphed over 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.”

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 wilderness, 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 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 wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

The woman clothed with the sun: What does this signify? How have we come to interpret it? We begin by examining the words, and where they appear poetic or clearly symbolic, we assess the symbolism. What does the sun represent? By comparing other scriptures and considering symbolism in culture and religions aligned with biblical ideology, we gather insights. After careful evaluation, we note the interpretations that make the most sense. Reading through the entire message is akin to solving a mystery, piecing together a puzzle.

I confidently pray for the Spirit of the Lord to guide me into all truth.

The woman here represents Leah, the wife of Jacob, who are the parents of Israel—not just the man, but the nation. Here we have a prophetic word about how there would be a nation that would be born. The woman is clothed with the sun, the sun representing God/Jesus and her covering. This would be a land established by God, and God's people would live and grow there, and the descendants of this woman would conquer the moon. That is why the woman had the moon underfoot. Remember the words that say God will make our enemy our footstool?Psalm 110:1 reads, “Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my lord: ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’” But who is this “lord” the LORD speaks to? Is this meant to pertain to us?

David, by the way, is in the bloodline of Jesus. The moon is the lesser star, the twilight star, which represents Lucifer. (We can piece that together because the next portion of this message talks about the fallen angels and the period when they fell to earth, corrupted God's creation, and the fall of man. We count time now forward between here and the time when Leah has the son who becomes the father of Israel.)

The next part talks about a red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. This is when Lucifer becomes Satan. He is the great dragon. I want to skip for now what those numbers and symbols mean here; we will come back. What does the dragon do? His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and flung them to earth. This is reminiscent of another message where these stars represent the fallen angels that were cast out of Heaven with Lucifer. These angels were all morning stars. I want to note that. I also want to highlight and remind you that these fallen angels hold the names of the zodiac. Coincidence? These stars' names also have numbers and become demons, receiving new names, numbers, and their new identity of darkness as a beast, an animal. Hold on to that thought.

The dragon positioned itself before the woman to devour the child as soon as it was born. This symbolizes an attempt to thwart God's plans and destroy them before they can develop.

If this scenario represents the mother of Israel giving birth to a son, who might this son be, symbolizing the birth of the nation? Which son in the Bible brings about this representation?

Judah, the son of Jacob and Leah, is recognized as a foundational figure of the nation of Israel. Jacob is later named Israel. The name Judah is associated with the lion, a representation of God/Jesus, and his star is the sun, the Morning Star.

The Bible contains a passage in Hosea 5:14 stating that they will be torn to pieces and devoured.

There are also passages indicating that Jerusalem is surrounded by enemy armies awaiting its downfall.

God does not commit evil acts Himself but may allow the enemy to act in order to execute His judgments. It is known that the adversary, Satan, often mirrors God, being referred to as the "morning star" instead of the "Morning Star." Both are compared to lions, which resonates with the idea that this lion is seeking whom it may devour, in this case, the people of Israel.

The subsequent section discusses a woman giving birth to a male child. This child represents Judah, although he is not the ruler. However, his descendants establish the royal lineage of David, which ultimately leads to Jesus. Jesus is referred to as the rod and staff or the iron scepter in the passage.

The narrative appears to fluctuate, complicating the process of piecing it together. At this point, Israel is emerging as a nation, but then in Revelations, it reverts to the war in Heaven, where Michael, God's angel, defeats the dragon and the fallen angels, who are subsequently cast to Earth. Verse 9 reveals that the dragon, Lucifer, and Satan are one and the same. Following this, the narrative shifts again to the period when salvation will come to Israel.

.

The period between the fall of man and the establishment of the nation of Israel spans several thousand years, approximately around 2000 BCE. The Bible mentions a period of 1260 days, yet it suggests that God's perception of time differs, with days being more akin to years. Consequently, the 1260 days approximately correspond to the 2000-year period between the fall of man and the formation of Israel as a nation. Moving forward, the Bible alludes to the coming of salvation, which is associated with Jesus, adding roughly another 2000 years to the timeline.

The repetition of the 1260-day period, which closely aligns with these events, supports the interpretation that these days symbolize years.

The accuser, the dragon, is enraged because time is now limited, indicating that a significant amount of time has passed.

We then move to a part of the passage stating that the woman was taken into the wilderness for a time and a half, out of the serpent's reach. This might seem like a regression in time, but it actually places us in a different event within the period of salvation, prior to the arrival of Jesus. Instead, it refers to the salvation of the Israelites through Moses. This interpretation is supported by the analogy of the people escaping Pharaoh, being led into the wilderness just beyond his reach. In this context, Pharaoh represents the serpent. Additional evidence for this interpretation is found in the description of the serpent spewing water like a river to overtake the woman, but the earth assisting by swallowing the river.

Although it may seem unusual, the woman is not a literal woman but represents the mother of the nation, in this case, the Israelites. The water is symbolically akin to the Red Sea, also perceived as a river. In Eastern mythology, chaotic seas or rivers were believed to contain monsters like Leviathan, symbolizing the serpent. There is a connection in history to the Red Sea and the Leviathan. In representation, this points to a conquer over chaos. b

Following this, the dragon wages war against the woman's offspring, those who remain steadfast in God's commands and the testimony of Jesus.

This is a summary of my interpretation of the story of the dragon and the woman, as described in Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation.

In verse 12:3, the symbolism of the red dragon is interpreted as representing the serpent, the devil. The color red is indicative of bloodshed, war, violence, and destruction. The seven heads may symbolize seven kingdoms, reflecting disdain and worldly power, as well as various manifestations of authority. These kingdoms are associated with Egypt, Assyria, Rome, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and ultimately a global order representing total domination, as he is currently regarded as the ruler of the world. These regions have significant connections to the devil in various ways and are known for substantial occult strongholds. Some suggest that these kingdoms oppose the seven churches, which are Ephesus, Smyrna (ancient Izmir), Pergamon, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea on the Lycus. Additionally, there are references to the seven mountains and the seven kings.

The ten horns are interpreted as representing powers, kings, and rulers with worldly and political influence.

This illustrates his power and dominion over many positions on earth and among influential people, signifying total domination.
