The Woman Goes into the Wilderness and Returns as the Harlot

If we take in the ot writings we will better understand the New Testament words . The Old Testament tells a story israel chosen and exalted by God , thier part was to constantly worship false gods while rejecting the true God who chose them. This is where the imagery of a beautiful woman who becomes a harlot having changed her garments me shoes up holding a cup filled with her fornications

I use “structure” to separate the apostate, generally, from the true. It is possible all began within the true, but, like we see in Revelation, not all continue as the true church. Many saints came out of the churches whose end is to be spit out of the mouth of the Lord, for example. How should the Lord deal with churches who have signed legal agreements with the the government to limit and align their messages to the government’s standard? Where once God winked at this His patience will have to come to an end.

The woman who goes into the wilderness is the one who comes out of the wilderness. When we see her again we see that she is embroiled with the rulers of the earth who saved her for its own purpose: she is now a prostitute to the world and will give politicians, and the basest of men, her vote if they say the right things. And why not? We already know what she is. Now we’re haggling about price. Lately, the price has been cheaper gas, lower taxes, employment. What a rag when compared to the Lord who is The Truth!

You are confused my friend. The Woman is all Israel who REPENT as seen in Zechariah 13:8-9. God protects her for 1260 days until Jesus' Second Coming. The Rev. 17 Harlot is (let me make it easy for you an d simple to boot) ALL False Religion of ALL Time, that's why she has the blood of the Saints of old AND the blood of the Martyrs of Jesus on her hands. She is Islam, she is Jupiter, she Baal, she is the Egyptian Sun gods, she is Zeus, she is modern day Humanism etc. etc.

Rev. 12, 13, 17 and 18 al start at the exact same time and lasts for 1260 days, the ALL END with Jesus' Second Coming. This is why knowing the TIMELINES are so important, Satan can't confuse people who know the timelines.

We see the woman flee into the wilderness. The next time we see into the wilderness we see the mother of Harlots emerge.

Did you not hear what I just told you? The book of Revelation IS NOT in Chronological order, thus the only order is this, Rev. 8, 9 and 16 is the judgments/wrath of God, all other chapters after ch. 8 are thus Parenthetical Citation chapters, telling of events tat happen in the other three chapters at the same time.

Where we differ is that I believe the imagery in Revelation concerns the whole earth and not just Israel. We can certainly learn from God’s dealings with Israel but the prostitute is now global. She was once God’s favored and now she is the mother of all harlots. This is a spirit that began with Eve and is ultimately expressed as a world-dominating spirit in the end times.

Then the woman fled into the wilderness

And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

male child was Jesus

Satan then makes war against those who have the promise in God but are not positioned in Christ.

So, where do we find the woman again? Or, rather, when if John carried into the wilderness again and what does he see.
We have to flip to Revelation 17.
...
This is the same woman who fled into the wilderness in chapter 12.

The following verses are thick with information, but I only want to focus on the Woman.

This is Revelation 12 verse 1:

“1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.”

So, we see her first here.

To continue:

“3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.”

This male child is not Jesus. This is the corporate Christ represented by the fully mature saints. The “rod of iron” and the “throne” establish Christ’s power and authority: they are unmatched and unquestionable.

But notice the woman flees into the wilderness.

After this, the angels are thrown down to the earth. They leave their spiritual abode for the temporal abode in the earth. This is why the dragon is angry: now he is ruled by time and his time is short.

To continue:

“Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent."

Again, the woman goes to the wilderness. This is the unfolding of a singular event.

15 "So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

Water is what in the scriptures? It can be the word, or it can signify people. Perhaps it is both here: a curse carried to the woman by many people. BUT, the earthed helped the woman. Isn’t that strange? When has the earth ever helped the church? It swallowed the people and their curse. Could it be the earth saw value in saving the woman? So, the dragon turns to make war with the rest of her offspring. This is not the mature male child, these are those from the woman (church) who are their own groups.

So, where do we find the woman again? Or, rather, when if John carried into the wilderness again and what does he see.
We have to flip to Revelation 17.

Verse 3 reads: “So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness.”

So, John is carried into the wilderness to see what?

Verses 1 and 2: “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”

This is the same woman who fled into the wilderness in chapter 12. So, this is why the earth, typically an enemy of the church/woman, saved the woman from the attack of the beast in Revelation 12:15,16; the woman was useful to the earth. And notice that she now sits on many waters which is what the dragon spewed out of his mouth. This is now her foundation: the curse of the enemy and the support of the people (many waters).

Fornication refers to improper intimacy with the woman. The rulers of the earth use the woman for their political gain and the woman uses the earth to gain influence over the people.

Verse 3 continues into verse 5: “And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. 5 And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”

These names of blasphemy are likely any name under which the church gathered as a symbol of their identity.

So, the woman, who fled into the wilderness in chapter 12, becomes the harlot we see again in Chapter 17. I believe this is happening in our day. As I said in another thread almost of of "Christendom" is being exposed as frauds. Those who remain in the exposed churches acquiesce to the evil in their midst until their consciences are seared.

These are serious times.
