No, it's not, Revelation 12 is a part of Revelation and everything after Rev. 4:1 is about the HEREAFTER (The Church Age the THINGS WHICH ARE or Rev. 2 and 3). What you mistakenly get conflated is that the story is about the Jews Fleeing Judea, and the Dragon, Jesus and his ascension to Heaven are just SETTING UP THE END TIME STORY, by giving us THE PLAYERS in the End Time Story, and thus the one player, The Woman is given unto is in code, she is a Woman clothed with the Sun, Moon and 12 Stars. We can solve this "CODE" by looking in Gen. 37:9 to see WHO the Woman is, we don't have to guess !! Which is what you did:
Gen. 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun (Jacob) and the moon(Rachel) and the eleven stars(Josephs Brothers) made obeisance to me.
This who is the Sun, Moon and 12 Stars counting Joseph? Israel, not THE CHURCH.
So, why did God give us a CODE in verses 1-5? Because Israel had been SACKED or CONQUERED, if a book comes out or a letter, epistle, whatever one desired to call it, and it talks about how Israel is going to have Jesus Ruling the whole world from Jerusalem, and that Rome is going to be Conquered, etc., etc. and how Satan uses these Gentile Kingdoms, etc. etc. that would not go over very well in the Roman hierarchy, so CODE was used, the Woman is Israel, the Red Dragon is Satan and he was still in Heaven and I guess still is, thus THE SIGN is in Heaven, the Male child is Jesus, etc.
Later on, I am going to PROVE The Remnant CAN NOT be Jewish peoples. I will just go ahead and do it now.....
The Dragon (Satan) is chasing THE WOMAN (Israel) into the Wilderness via the Anti-Christ's Army, and when he can't get at her, he TURNS and goes after the Remnant (Small Part that is left) of HER (Israels) SEED (Jesus is THAT SEED, read Gal. 3) who has the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ.
Well, the Woman he can't get at can't be who he TURNS t go after, so the 1/3 (as Zechariah 13:8-9 describe) who REPENT and Flee Judea can't be the Remnant can they? He can't get at the 1/3 and TURNS to go after the Remnant. We also know the 2/3 of the Jews who do not Repent will be CUT OFF or die according to Zechariah 13:8-9, and the 2/3 DO NOT have the Testimony of Jesus Christ, so they can't be the Remnant other, can they?
So, THE REMNANT can only be the Gentile Church, who gets saved AFTER the Rapture of the Church, which happens pre 70th week.
thanks for the reply, second, I'll make two post to answer your post here, (because of the amount of word liminatation). Just because you said no, don't change anything. as said the all the player in chapter 12 are in chapter 2 of the book of Matthews .
you said,
"Gen. 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold,
the sun (Jacob) and the moon(Rachel) and the eleven stars(Josephs Brothers) made obeisance to me.
This who is the Sun, Moon and 12 Stars counting Joseph? Israel, not THE CHURCH.".
answer, the Sun and the Moon are symbilic of the A. Gospel, and B. the Law.
the Sun, the "HEALING OF THE NATIONS". Spiritual HEALING, the "GOSPEL", the Good News... "SALVATION TO ALL.
Malachi 4:2 "But unto you that fear my name shall
the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed."
1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:
by whose stripes ye were healed."
Psalms 67:2 "That thy way may be known upon earth, thy
saving health among all nations."
NOW, lets see it in REVELATION, Revelation 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month:
and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
so the "SUN" repersent the Gospel of "LIFE", Salvation. in which the woman, the UNIVERSAL CHURCH was clothed. meaning? amswer, Revelation 3:4 "Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have
not defiled their garments; and
they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy."
now the MOON, which was under the woman feet. which siginifed no more Law, (the Mosaic Law, a lesser light to walk by), but unto the Gospel of Christ, a GREATER LIGHT. Israel was walking by a dim light, the law, (only for them). it was a lamp unto her, Israel, feet. Supporting Scriptures, Prov 6:23 "For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life", now, Psalms 119:105 "Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet, and
a light unto my path”. there it is, “the law was a lamp, (light) at her feet. just as the Sun is a greater light compared to the moon, a lesser light, so is the word of God, (the Gospel) is superior to the Law.
Later on, I am going to PROVE The Remnant CAN NOT be Jewish peoples. I will just go ahead and do it now.....
well we disagree with this assessment, and here's why..... this woman represent all of the nation Israel, (before the birth of the child), who remain faithful to God, the southern tribes, (meaning the remnant, for the nothern was taken away). this women represent a church, but is Israel the nation, or is she the remnant, a Church?. YES, Let the Scriptures speak for themselves. Acts 7:37 "This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 38
This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us". there she is, BINGO,
the church in the wilderness". so Israel was a church, and by representation of this woman is found in FAITHFUL, (of the remnant).
NOW the The Dragon, the "RED" Dragon,
This great dragon is represented symbolically by king Herod, who in the secular world he was called “the great”, for his reconstruction efforts. remember this is symbolic. Of the devil who is a spirit, get others to do his dirty work, he just work behind the scenes. red here is symbolic for blood, for this king had much blood on his hands. supporting scriptures, Matt 2:16 "Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men”. he also had the blood of John the baptist on his hands. The ten horns is the power of the Roman Empire, which he, (king Herod), ruled by, (the romans). king Herod authority was supported by that power, the Roman Empire. so clearly he is a bloody, (red), dragon. as said, keep one hand on chapter 12 of revelation, and the other on Matthews chapter 2. this vision John is seeing is the birth of the Christ, the start of the Church, that the Lord Jesus christ is building, (amounf all NATIONS,)
