Revelation 12 ESV Full Chapter
Birth of Christ’s Kingdom!
➥ Revelation 12
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.
4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it.
5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
War in Heaven!
Satan Thrown Down to Earth!
Heavens Rejoice but Woe for the Earth!
7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back,
8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world–he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.
11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
Dragon Makes War on the Rest of God’s Offspring!
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
15 The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.
17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

1 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.” 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.
The Woman & Child – Scriptural Identity in Isaiah 66!
Isaiah 66:7-24
7 “Before she was in labor she gave birth; before her pain came upon her she delivered a son. 8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a Land be born in one day? Shall a Nation be brought forth in one moment? For as soon as ZION was in labor she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?” says the LORD; “shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with JERUSALEM, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; 11 that you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breast; that you may drink deeply with delight from her glorious abundance.”
12 For thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; and you shall nurse, you shall be carried upon her hip, and bounced upon her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in JERUSALEM.
14 You shall see, and your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of the LORD shall be known to his servants, and he shall show his indignation against his enemies.
21 And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the LORD. 22 “For as the NEW HEAVENS and the NEW EARTH that I make shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your offspring and your name remain.
23 From new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, declares the LORD. 24 “And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Scriptural Identification of the Woman of Revelation Ch 12 – Isaiah 66:7-8,10 – “Zion” Birthing New “Jerusalem”
Child – (New Jerusalem) Rules All the Nations with a Rod of Iron!
Revelation 12:5
5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to RULE ALL THE NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,
Revelation 2:26
26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS, 27 and he will RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Revelation 19:11-16
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself.13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.
14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and HE WILL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Psalm 2
The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed
1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” 7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me,
“You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the
NATIONS YOUR HERITAGE, AND THE ENDS OF THE EARTH YOUR POSSESSION. 9 YOU SHALL BREAK THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON AND DASH THEM IN PIECES LIKE A POTTER’S VESSEL.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
“The Serpent” appears 6xs in Genesis 3:1-4, 13-14
➥ Genesis 3 (WEB)
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, “Yes, has God said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'”
4 The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t surely die,
5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit of it, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.
7 Both of their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 The man said, “I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
11 God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”
13 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above every animal of the field. On your belly shall you go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
21 Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…”
23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
Revelation 12:7-9, War in Heaven – Heavens Rejoice! Woe for Earth!
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.”
The timing of the War in Heaven is revealed at 2 places in Revelation Ch 12.
1) War occurs immediately after the Woman births the Child at Revelation 12:4-5.
2) War occurs after the “Brothers” have “conquered” at Revelation 12:10-11.
3) Dragon at Rev 12:3 missing 3 crowns from Rev 13:1 signifies timing AFTER Daniel 7 Little Horn plucks out 3 crowns.
1) War occurs immediately after the Woman births the Child at Revelation 12:5
Revelation 12:5
5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne
The Birth of the Man Child is the same event at:
Christ “will gather His elect” – Matt 24:31
1st Resurrection – Rev 20:6
Last Trumpet or 7th Trumpet – 1 Cor 15:52
The Greek word for “Caught up” is harpázō. This is the same word
The Woman, identified as Zion at Isaiah 66:8, births a “Nation” & New “Jerusalem” at Isaiah 66: 7-8, 10, 13. Isaiah 66:22 then connects the “priests” who will make up the “New Heavens” “government” that “reign with Christ for the 1,000 years.” Isaiah 9:6, Rev 20:6.
This is the same timing of this event is th

Revelation 12:13-17, Dragon Confined to Earth Wages War with the Rest of Woman’s Offspring:
Revelation 12:13-17
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.
3 ½ Years Occurs 5x’s in Revelation!
The 5x’s are clustered together in 3 consecutive chapters of Revelation 11,12 & 13.
Don’t Be Confused!
It’s ALL the same amount of time expressed in different ways!
3 ½ Years = 1,260 Days = 42 Months = Time times and a ½ of time!
3 ½ Years x 2 = 7
➥ Revelation 11:1-2
“Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, 2 but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months.”
➥ Revelation 11:3
3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
➥ Revelation 12:6
6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
➥ Revelation 12:14
14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
➥ Revelation 13:5,7
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.
7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation

REVELATION 12 AQUARIUS TRANSLATION
1 There appeared a great sign in Uranus; The Zodiac clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve star-signs: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 There appeared another sign in Uranus; and behold a great red Christian, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 His tail drew the third part of the star sings of Uranus and did cast them to the earth: and the Christian stood before The Zodiac which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her Aquarius as soon as it was born. 5 Then she brought forth The Branch of Aquarius, who was to rule all astrology with a rod of iron: and her Aquarius was caught up unto God, and to his throne. 6 And, The Zodiac fled into the imagination, where she has a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. 7 And there was war in Uranus: Michael and his angels fought against the Christian, and the Christian fought and his angels, 8 but prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in Uranus. 9 And the great Christian was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in Uranus, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Utopia of The Zodiac, and the power of her Water Bearer: for the accuser of our friends is cast down, which accused them before our God, day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. 13 And when the Christian saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted The Zodiac which brought forth The Branch of Aquarius. 14 And to The Zodiac were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the imagination, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after The Zodiac, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped The Zodiac, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the Christian cast out of his mouth. 17 And the Christian was wroth with The Zodiac and went to make war with the remnant of her Sun Signs, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Welcome, my friends, to the Age of the Aquarius! But woe unto you that desire the Age of the Aquarius! To what end is it for you? the Age of the Aquarius is darkness, and not light. 19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the church, and placed his hand on the altar, and a serpent bit him. 1 But of the times and the seasons, friends, you have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the Age of the Aquarius so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all the friends of light and the friends of the day: we are not of the night nor darkness. So, rise and shine Sun Signs, and let your sign shine before Christians, that they may see your perfect ology, and glorify your Mother who is in Uranus. The kingdom of God, our Father comes not with observation. 21 Neither shall we say, “Look here!” or, “See there!” for, behold, the Utopia of The Zodiac, our Mother, is within you
Revelation 12:1-17, Amos 5:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:1, Matthew 5:16, Luke 17:20
I have seen the revelation signs all about 7 numbers. It’s on the way but it’s will be unexpected until judgement day.
may the lord bless you even more
While the time periods are all very similar. They are not referring to the same period of time. The 1260 of the 2 witnesses can NOT be at the end of the Great Tribulation. Think about it. The end of that time is when Jesus Christ comes back and is the head of the army that goes through the world and wipes out all the enemies. His white robes end up covered in the blood of people. Have you ever heard that preached?
So the 1260 days is the first half of the 7 year period. And it makes sense because at the mid point, the temple sacrifices are stopped and the believing Jews flee Jerusalem. It all makes sense if you think logically.
This is the truth that we all need to know in these End Time.
GOD richly bless you all.
We are living in the days of the third & fourth seals where the entire earth is plunging into a worldwide currency fluctuations & economic crisis (third seal) & (fourth seal) pestilences nearing the emergence of the the fifth matyrdom seal of the fake Jewish Messiah-Rev13:11-13.
Revelation 12: 1-2 sign culminated September 23, 2017. This marks the beginning of the Revelation 12-14 vision, which is another angle of the story talking in detail about the persecuted Church. It does not surprise me that this website suspects the 1st Trumpet is occurring now. My suspicion is the dragon falling is the 2nd Trumpet. Great mountain on fire falling from the sky seems similar to the dragon falling with angels. the heavenly signs are symbolic of what is really happening, which is Satan being confined to earth. Watch for war on Israel, probably Ezekiel’s future war with Iran and others. This will probably end up being a global war. Then when that fails Satan will raise 2 beast nations, the first being a group of nations, which will go after the Church to destroy it and the 2nd pushing the technologies to ensure everyone is monitored.
Also, seems to me Trumpets 2,3,4 are related – Meteor falling, then fallout poisoning freshwater, then the cracked earth causing very bad earthquakes and volcanic activity around the world, enough ash to cause the earth’s sky to darken, plunging us into a very cold environment with less light to grow food. Mass starvation, war, pestilence, death.
Agreed
GODS Judgement is according to Morality
Who “Will render to each one according to his deeds” Eternal Life to those who by patient continuance in doing Good seek for the Glory,Honor,and immortality;but to those who are self -seeking and do not obey the truth, but
Obey unrighteousness-indignation-and wrath,
Tribulation and anguish.(SOUL ) Rom 2:6-10
