{Notes & Review: This chapter is a stand alone insert. Believers are the bride of the manchild/Son of man. Non Hebrew people once they are united to Jesus become a part of Israel, they are “grafted into the commonwealth” - Review: a great sign - a virgin conceived. The dragon, via Herod the Great, tried to destroy the manchild, but instead He is at the right hand of God. The adversary was angered->70 CE, a first migration (in the age of our Lord, A.D.) of the faith->white horse gone/going forth. Then there’s a battle in heaven and the dragon is cast out, and no longer allowed access to heaven.}

     13 When the dragon saw that he was cast to earth, he persecuted (inquisitioned) the woman (the faith) which had brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly (sail via the wind) into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (a 3.5 measure of time, 1620+350?) AWAY from the face (cruel inquisitions) of the serpent. (Eagle wings - a good beginning - not perfect - but like most things goes into decline and decomposing/corruption. Most often getting hijacked and infiltrated. I know I repeat myself over and over. But how can I not mention the ever popular, world’s “false prophet” [“the field is the world”] who’s “strong delusion” of “seating man/anthropos as in the temple as God”/highest power, caused a great “falling away”.)

     15 And the serpent (guise of the dragon) poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood (washed off of the earth). 16 But the earth helped her and swallowed the flood that had come from the dragon's mouth. (Widespread drought coming? $ity Babble on 7hills/continents, falls/crashes?) [From the dragon’s mouth - Rev.16:13? The flood becomes part of the gathering to Armageddon battle?-Mt.13:30. Unholy ‘trinity’ (rev.16:13) - the dragon, the beast (many headed geopolitical) and the false prophet who will greatly expound on what came out of the mouth of the dragon? Note: The false prophet enabled Rev.13:13, but is not the “little horn”/beast. The 13:13 event pinpointed an OFFICE, not (yet) an individual.]

     [Cross Reference: Mt.23:39 - “I tell you [Jerusalem] you will not see me (Jesus) again UNTIL you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!”] 17 And the dragon was angry against the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God, and (by now) have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev.7:4, which in most part follows vs.9.) And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea..

A Note to Gnostics

If the problem here on planet Earth is earth.. matter. And a case of man having fallen from a higher state into a material body - "dust thou art" - which knowledge (gnosis) will deliver us from, the scene around us would seem to suggest otherwise. This Earth is glorious! And so is the living machinery we call our bodies. When God visited Earth in Ezekiel chapter two, he arrived on a living platform with living wheels, and which was borne about on living wings.

The problem is not creation itself. From where do wars come from? Do they come from trees? Perhaps from the ocean.. or the mountains? ...Is it the wind?

Logically, at most, if we are "trapped in a body" that would be a symptom, or an effect, and not a cause.

Why did God bar the way to the tree of life after Adam and Eve had changed? For surely, they did change. In the Genesis chapter two insert account of the creation of Adam and Eve, we are told how Adam was formed of dust, and Eve from his rib, and the two were one. "Be fruitful and multiply.. dress the trees and keep the garden.. the fruit and herbs shall be for food.."

What changed in Adam and Eve? Surely it was something in their thoughts.

Their psyche changed! The serpent had said to them, surely God was lying.. the one forbidden fruit was surely desired to make one wise. It was not unpleasant to the sight.. looked harmless enough. Indeed, if it was knowledge to make one wise.. and to be like God..!

But what was the change? They hid themselves. If there was a substance change, I believe it was in their clothing. From a raiment of light to fig leaves, and then to animal skins (in which God clothed them). They and the world became imperfect, and death now existed.

And what of the serpent? The one Revelation, chapter twelve calls Satan (adversary) and dragon? Was the issue that he fell into a denser substance?

I think the Pandora's box is thinking ability. If one is a rational creature, one can (sooner or later) make choices. What could possibly be God's motive in letting it run its course?

A GREAT Sign In The Heavens!!

[Adapted from Revelation chapter 12 with cross references referenced.]
~ A GREAT sign in the heavens!! A woman with a crown of twelve stars, in agony to give birth to a son, a child of mankind who will rule and shatter all nations with iron law (Ps 2:9) and His Kingdom will be a Kingdom that never ends..
     A fiery red dragon stands in readiness to devour the child! King Herod killing every boy child in Bethlehem!
.....Rachel is weeping.. weeping for her children and cannot be consoled.. But the child is caught up to heaven and the right hand of God's throne and in rage the dragon pursues the woman, razing the old, and the new woman runs..
. . . There's war in heaven, Michael and his angels against the dragon and his one third of the angels.. Now restricted from the heavens, in great wrath he pursues and inquisitions the woman.. She's given the two wings of a great eagle that she may sail fast to a new land.. where for three and a half modern divisions of time she is kept safe from the fierce face of the dragon, but then the serpent guise of the dragon spews a flood and proliferation after the woman to wash her away from the face of the earth, so that the eagle may lose its wings, but if they crucify who they did in a green leaf, what will they do in a dry???
. . . Then the dragon's armies will surround the other children of the woman who have the commandments of God, and by now, have the testimony of Jesus..
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft I would have gathered you as a hen gathers her chicks! You'll not see me again until you say "blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD"!

Can You See It?!

Like pieces to a puzzle, a piece here.. a piece there.. is Bible prophecy..
- Do you remember all the Frat Movies in the 70's? All the "drink til you drop" and "see the breasts" movies? (And college students attending classes in a sleepy state, just right for thought shaping, but that's another topic!)
- The Book of Revelation (Apocalypse) 12:(14)15 - 

(Revelation 12:14

New Living Translation (NLT)

¹⁴ "But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.")

Revelation 12:15

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹⁵ "And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood."

- There is a key here to unlock part of the Revelation/Apocalypse prophecy message. In verse 14, insert "sail" for fly. (She was supposed to bond with the peaceful inhabitants of the land.)

- Then add 350 (modern time, times and half a time) to 1620. A proliferation/flood unleashed.

- Also, as a valuable cross-reference:

Revelation 12:17

New King James Version (NKJV)

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" (insert here 'by this time') "have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

The first verse of this chapter "a woman with the moon under her feet and twelve stars circling her head" is Israel who birthed the Son of Man (verse 2) and the dragon (verse 4, in the person of Herod) tried to destroy the "man child" as soon as he was born, is Israel, but later, in the verses, the mantle of truth passed to "the church" (unseen / not buildings / spiritual). It is she who was given the wings of an eagle.
