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. 2She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. 4His 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. 5She 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. 6The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.


Who is this referring to? Is it the USA?
Gen 37:[SUP]9 [/SUP]Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” [SUP]10 [/SUP]So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” [SUP]11 [/SUP]And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind


The son and the moon would be Jacob and Rebecca, The 12 stars would be the twelve sons. These represent Isreal. who birthed christ to fulfill part of the abrahamic covenant.

The child would represent Christ. Who was taken up to heaven. The dragon would be satan, Who tried his hardest once the child was born to take him out (remember Joseph and Mary had to go to Egypt as the king ordered the death of every male child under 2. Which was surely satans doing) and satan continued to try to take him out up to the cross. which he even in the first son of perdition, had a hand in.

The child being snatched up (or raptured) is Christ when he ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of God

The woman fleeing to the wilderness is spoken of in chapter 13. when the dragon goes after the woman but she is protected by God. thus he goes after her offspring. Her offspring would be the church.

No it is not the USA . . .

Revelation 12:1-6 KJV And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun (Jesus is the Sun, Malachi 4:2), and the moon (the Church) under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars (the twelve tribes of Israel, Genesis 37:9) And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Satan), having seven heads and ten horns (world empires), and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven (fallen angels), and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman (Israel) which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron (The Lord Jesus): and her child was caught up unto God (Jesus ascends into heaven, Acts 1:9 and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, Ephesians 1:19-23), and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness (of the Gentile nations), where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (it was 1260 years from when the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock on God’s Temple mount, until the new nation of Israel was established).

But I don’t expect the above will make any sense to you unless you have read one of my books on the subject like “Islam in the End Times,” which you can download free from ellisskolfield.com.
“Islam in the End Times” NOT worth the read, it will just lead you astray.

Here is a good book

Yes, I'm totally going to take advice from a creepy Astro Boy doll who tells me to read the Bible.
But seriously, while the Bible is the most worthwhile book and should be the one we read most regularly, that doesn't mean all other books are bad, that we can't learn from them, or gasp! even enjoy them.

Not all books are bad, just the ones that can lead you astray like “Islam in the End Times” and “the man of sin” and other creepy books like that
