Revelation 12:1-5
12 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:
We refer to this as the Revelation 12 sign that we saw at the Feast of Trumpets in 2017
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
This word cried is very interesting. But first, the word for delivered is first used for Mary having Jesus. This word is used 19 times in the New Testament and the last 5 times it is used is in this chapter. The New Testament begins with the birth of Jesus and concludes with the birth of this baby.
So let’s look at this word “cried”. The first time it is used the demons cry out saying what have we to do with thee? Then two blind men cry out for Jesus to heal them. Then the disciples cry out for fear when they see Jesus walking on the water. Peter cried when he began to sink and said Lord, save me! Everyone is crying out from demons, to people who need to see, to the disciples and to Peter. I think that describes the period of time from the Revelation 12 sign to now. Since that time we are hearing everyone crying out, some for salvation, some are demonic, some are the disciples, and some are servants of the Lord who are sinking.
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.
So what is this? We know this has to do with the seven empires that have ruled man. We know it has to do with the Dragon setting up one world government for the Antichrist. We know this dragon wants to devour this baby because the baby is destined to rule and will replace him. But when did it appear? Consider the portrait of King Charles that appeared on May 14, 2024. I think the whole world was stunned when that appeared. But that was simply when the veil was removed. Spiritually we saw this great red dragon when the world's economy was shut down due to the Pandemic and when they mandated the vaccine, and shut people up in quarantine camps, and China locked them in their apartment buildings, etc.
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.
I used to think that this was a reference to the fallen angels that followed Lucifer. One third of the angels fell and so I thought this was a reference to them being cast to the earth. But verse 9 makes it very clear that interpretation is wrong. Satan and his angels are cast out together, and it isn’t the dragon’s tail that casts them down but Michael and His angels. So we have to look more closely. This word “drew” means to drag someone before the court. It is used to describe people dragging a net full of fishes and also of Saul of Tarsus dragging people to court. Consider January 6th, consider people dragged to prison for praying, consider people who protested at abortion clinics being dragged to prison, or parents at school board meetings, or all those who were cast out of their jobs for refusing the vaccine. This word for “cast” is first used for casting wood into the fire, it was a temptation to Jesus to cast himself down, and the disciples were casting a net into the sea. I think this also describes the situation for Christians. Many were cast out of their jobs like throwing wood into the fire. Many were tempted to do stupid things like those who entered the Capital building on January 6th, and many have seen this time as an opportunity to cast the net into the sea. I started my blog at this time and now have over 433,000 people reading it. The woman is ready to be delivered here, the first time this word is used in the New Testament Herod is ready to seek the child and kill Him, and the very last time it is used the beast in the bottomless pit is ready to ascend out of it. This is the 109th use of the word, and the last use is the 110th time. At this point we are ready, on the precipice for the rapture. Then the dragon wants to devour the child. The first use of this word is the birds that devour the seeds sown on the ground. The second time Jesus tells the scribes and Pharisees woe to them because they devour widows houses. These two instances are repeated in all three gospels Matthew, Mark, and Luke. But in Luke he also adds the prodigal son devouring up his living with harlots. This one world government is ready to devour us, to take the word from us, to take our houses and livelihood from us.
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.
The word for caught up here is harpazo, the word for the rapture. The first time this word is used in the New Testament we are told that the Kingdom of the heavens suffereth violence and the violent “harpazo” it. They take it by force. The second time the Lord explains what it means that the birds eat the seeds, they harpazo it, they take it by force. The third time Jesus realized they were going to harpazo him, take Him by force to make Him king. The fourth time the hirelings flee and the wolves harpazo the sheep, take them by force. I think the meaning is clear, we must take the kingdom by force otherwise Satan will try to take it from us. The word for rule is first used in Matthew saying that out of Bethlehem will come a governor who is to rule my people Israel. So the use of “all nations” here is in contrast to “my people Israel” in Matthew.

the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
