Revelation 12 'The Great Sign' [The Great Tribulation Begins] Revelation 12 ‘The Great Sign’

The Great Tribulation Begins

Revelation Time Frame Introduction

Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the
LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD:

The LORD'S Day (also known as the Millennium), is the Day that JESUS returns.
For some of us, it will be a Day of great love and happiness. For others, it will be a Day
of terror and darkness when
JESUS pours out The Cup Of WRATH on those that worshiped satan. All flesh ends
when that Day begins, but that Day
is one thousand years long and will consist of Iron Rod discipline for those that didn't
care enough to learn GOD'S
WORD and as a result fell away to satan.

2nd Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.

2nd Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to usward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be
burned up.

The Revelation of JESUS CHRIST as told in the book of Revelation is about what is
happening just before The LORD'S
Day, and what happens when The LORD'S Day starts, and things that happen during
The LORD'S Day as well. Some
things that have not yet happened from our time perspective are spoken of in the past
tense because John is taken to
The LORD'S Day at the beginning of the book of Revelation. After John has been
shown the prophecy, he is returned to
his normal time.

The following verses show the time frame of John's journey.

John is taken to The LORD'S Day in verse 1:10 of the book of
Revelation.

Revelation Time Frame

Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in
the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the
word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

John returns to his time in verse 22:8 of the book of Revelation.

Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord
God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done.

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them And when I had heard
and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things.

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
worship God.

Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.

The Sign

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven H8064 to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs H226 , and for seasons H4150 , and
for days, and years:

H8064
שׁמה שׁמים
shâmayim shâmeh
shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh'
The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning
to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which
the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies
revolve) : - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

H226
אות
'ôth
oth
Probably from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively),
as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-)
sign, token.

H4150
מועדה מעד מועד
mô‛êd mô‛êd mô‛âdâh
mo-ade', mo-ade', mo-aw-daw'
From H3259; properly an appointment , that is, a fixed time or season; specifically
a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a
definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of
meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand): - appointed (sign, time), (place
of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season,
solemn (-ity), synagogue, (set) time (appointed).

[Note: All prophecies given in days, solar months, years, sun or light have to do with
GOD. All prophecies given in nights, lunar months, moons or darkness are related to
satan.]

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder G4592 in heaven G3772 ; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars:

G4592
σημε􀀀ιον
sēmeion
say-mi'-on
Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of G4591; an indication , especially
ceremonially or supernaturally: - miracle, sign , token, wonder.

G3772
ου􀀀ρανός
ouranos
oo-ran-os'
Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by
extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power,
eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity): - air, heaven ([-ly]), sky.

[
The entire story of JESUS is told in the constellations. The fallen angels taught man
astrology as another deception to keep man from learning the TRUTH. That is why
people use the stars for a demonic deception on personalities and one's future. The
sign of Revelation 12:1 in the stars may be an actual sign to indicate the end coming,
but here is what the verse Revelation 12:1 means:
First of all, signs and wonders actually means signals and events (appointments). So,
the sign of the woman travailing in birth actually means the birth of the new age. Now
this sign has already happened, but it does not mean it would not show in the heavens
at the end of this age as a sign to those with eyes to see and ears to hear that this
second age is coming to a close. Revelation 12 covers a wide expanse from the end of
the previous age all the way through to the end of this age. Specifically, the sign in
Revelation 12:1 was in Heaven, not on earth. It was a sign from the previous age after
the overthrow of satan. It was of the plan of Salvation. The woman clothed with the sun
meant that it was Almighty GOD’S plan to save HIS children. The moon at her feet
indicated that the woman’s seed would bruise the devils head. The woman is Mother
Israel and the crown of twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. JESUS would come
through Israel.
]

Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.

[
The child she carried was JESUS, Almighty GOD’S Savior for HIS children. JESUS
would come through the KING line, Judah of Israel, and the PRIEST line, the Levites
which are the descendants of Aaron. This is also why JESUS has the Title of
Melchizedek, which is The KING/PRIEST. The birth pains are to the new age, the flesh
age (which is this age) where GOD’S children would have a veil to the previous age and
be able to choose innocently whether they would love GOD or satan. When this second
age (the flesh age) is over, we will no longer be in flesh bodies.
]

Revelation 12:3 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.

[
This sign was in Heaven also (not on earth). The great red dragon is the devil, also
known as satan the adversary. The devil had a one world system with seven heads and
ten horns just like the one world system that is forming here on earth at the end of this
age. The difference between the beast system of the previous age and the one of this
age is that the crowns were on the heads in the previous age, but they are on the horns
in this age. The reason the crowns are on the horns in this age is that the ten fallen
angels that had the crowns (on the heads) in the previous age no longer have
kingdoms. They have to take their kingdoms by power in this age when they are cast
out of Heaven with satan at the hour of temptation. Horns are symbolic of power. Here
is the one world system of this age:

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.

The beast system forms out of the people. It’s a sea of people. The peoples, and
nations, and multitudes, and tongues means that it is a one world system consisting of
all nations.

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

The blasphemy on the heads is that this system is saying that satan is GOD. The whore
is GOD'S children that are supposed to be The Bride Of CHRIST, but they are deceived
by satan because they do not know TRUTH. When satan shows up as the GROOM,
they fall away to him, believing he is JESUS. They worship satan before JESUS, the
TRUE GROOM returns. That is why they are known as the whore.

In the previous age satan set it in his mind to be GOD, and at the end of this age he will
do the same. The devil will deceive the children by means of miracles that he performs
in front of them on the earth. Those who do not know GOD’S WORD will believe satan
because they do not know that he is satan.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north:

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

The name lucifer means morning star. Morning star means early light, which symbolizes
TRUTH.
That was satan’s name before he fell, his name became satan after his fall. The name
satan means adversary. JESUS is the TRUE Bright and Morning Star.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for
joy?

GOD calls HIS children ‘stars’. The north side of the congregation is GOD’S position,
and satan wanted to take that position.

The ten horns are the fallen angels taking their power and GOD put it in their hearts to
give their power unto the beast until HIS WORDS are fulfilled. So, this beast system is
rising out of the people and the beast that leads them is satan.
]

Revelation 12:4 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.

[
The stars are GOD’S children. GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job and elsewhere in
The Bible). The dragon (satan) drew the third part of the stars of Heaven with his tail.
That means he deceived them. The dragon deceived them into trying to take GOD’S
THRONE. That attempted insurrection is why we are all here on earth in the flesh. A
third tried to take GOD’S THRONE, but the other two thirds weren’t worth much more.
Another third were couch potatoes that didn’t like what satan and the children were
doing (lukewarm), but did nothing (no backbone), and the last third didn’t care. A few
here and a few there out of the three thirds stood with GOD to overthrow satan. That is
why we are chosen, predestined, justified. We already chose WHO we love. We FIRST
(previous age) trusted in CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

We have eyes to see and ears to hear. The child that the dragon tried to devour is
JESUS (YAHSHUA, YAHAVEH’S SAVIOR). The serpent (satan) first tried to devour the
child by deceiving Eve in the Garden with the purpose of blocking the Seed of CHRIST.
Then the fallen angels of Genesis six attempted to block the Seed of CHRIST by taking
human wives. After that, in Matthew chapter four where he tempted CHRIST. Now he is
trying to deceive GOD’S children by false teachings and the one world beast system
that is rising that is similar to the one of the previous age.
]

Revelation 12:5 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.

[
Mother Israel brought forth Immanuel (GOD with us), YAHSHUA ( YAHAVEH’S
SAVIOR), which in English is JESUS. The LORD’S Day (the Millennium) is one
thousand years of Iron Rod discipline. The very elect will rule with JESUS for that
thousand years. The discipline is to prepare those that do not get TRUTH in this flesh
age and therefore worship satan. At the end of the thousand years they have to
overcome satan on their own. There is no GRACE in the Millennium.
Those that know TRUTH and still worship satan go into the lake of fire with satan and
his angels.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of
the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
]

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and
threescore days.

[
The woman is Mother Israel. Israel consists of twelve tribes. The tribe of Judah is one of
the twelve tribes. They are known as the Jews. The Jews currently inhabit the land of
Israel, but are mixed with the tares, who say they are jews, but do lie and are actually of
the synagogue of satan (see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). The other 11 tribes of Israel were
scattered throughout the earth and most of them do not know who they are. See
Genesis 48 and 49 for the prophecy that describes what these tribes would be in the
latter days. The point is that there is a place where Israel can study GOD’S WORD in
safety. You can research where the other tribes of Israel migrated after being released
from Assyria. It is said that they migrated over the Caucus mountains into Europe. See
the documentary by E. Raymond Capt: The Lost Tribes of Israel.
]

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.

[
Revelation Chapter 12 progresses from the previous age where the dragon deceived a
third of GOD’S children, all the way to the end of this age. When the devil and his
angels are cast to earth, the devil will deceive the whole world into believing that he is
GOD when he disguises himself as CHRIST. But he is actually anti CHRIST. ‘Anti’ in
the Greek language means ‘Instead of’, not against. So, the devil is coming instead of
CHRIST. The people of earth will believe the devil because he performs miracles in the
sight of man. Since most people are not familiar with GOD’S WORD, they will be
deceived even though The Bible clearly says that satan comes before CHRIST and
disguises himself as CHRIST.
]

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser
of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11 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.

[
The devil accuses GOD’S elect day and night. The elect are predestined and already
justified. When they sin, they get put back on the path when GOD disciplines them.

GOD says:

Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth.

The elect are Christians that know the TRUTH. They are not the goats on JESUS left
hand that HE tells to depart from HIM. The reason JESUS tells them to depart from HIM
is that they didn’t study or know the TRUTH and it results in them worshiping satan.
Once you worship satan, every righteous act you have ever done is stripped away from
you.:

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.

Those that are delivered up are GOD’S 7000, the very elect. The elect have three
categories, but they are all still elect. We use three categories to keep track of their
function for study purposes. The three categories are remnant, elect, and very elect.
The explanation of these categories is for another study. Most of the elect simply say
‘elect’ for all three categories, except when giving a thorough explanation. The very
elect overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and their testimony against satan:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.

Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer:

Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Luke 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

The verses above show that it is the very elect (GOD’S seven thousand, the election)
that get delivered up for a testimony. You can also see that a hair on your head will not
perish. In your patience possess ye your souls because you don’t love satan or his way
of life and you love not your life here unto death (satan). Which means, don’t give in to
satan. If you do, you lose your soul.
]

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

[
The Great Eagle is GOD. The woman (Israel) is given a place of safety and fed the
TRUTH (nourishment) for 3 ½ years. ‘Time’=year, ‘Times’=2 years, ‘A half Time’=½
year. From the face of the serpent means protected from deception. Also, Israel are
those ‘In CHRIST’. It doesn’t mean that all are physical Israel. Some are not natural
branches, but are grafted in. GOD’s 7000, which are the very elect. They fought with
GOD to overthrow satan in the previous age. They come from among all three thirds of
GOD’S children and can be of any nation or tongue.

Deuteronomy 32:9 For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Deuteronomy 32:12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
with him.
]

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

[
No creature can create a flood of water out of the mouth. Whenever you see a verse
that describes something that is not natural, it is describing a metaphor. The flood which
comes out of the serpent’s (deceiver’s) mouth is a flood of lies (deception).
]

Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

[
The earth is the elect, helping the woman to learn the TRUTH and countering the flood
of lies from the dragon (satan).
]

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.

[
The remnant of the woman’s seed is the very elect. They are the remainder of those
who have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST. They are the Stone cut out of the mountain
without hands. Their testimony will help to bring down the one world system, and they
are the plummet stone (stone with seven eyes) used by Zerubbabel to finish building
The End Time Temple Of The LORD, The Temple Of Wood (wood=trees,
trees=people).

Mark 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and
besought him to touch him.

Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and
when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw
ought.

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and
he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Mark 8:26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor
tell it to any in the town.
]

'The Great Tribulation Begins'

Keep in mind that in Revelation 1, John was taken to the LORD'S Day to describe what
he sees. He is to describe the things that happen before The LORD'S Day, during and
thereafter. That is why John will describe some things that are in our future as things
that are in his past.

The numbers below are item numbers, not verse numbers.

1. The sign was in Heaven. The definition of Heaven in Revelation 12:1 and 12:3 is
Heaven as in GOD'S Abode (where GOD dwells). It's not the same definition as in
Genesis 1:1 which means the sky or arc of the celestial bodies.

2. The woman is Mother Israel and has twelve stars as a crown. She is clothed with the
sun, which means she is clothed in righteousness. The moon is at her feet, which
means her Seed’s heal will bruise satan’s head as HIS enemies become HIS footstool.
GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job). The twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel.
JESUS comes through the King line of Israel which is the tribe of Judah, the true Jews,
and the Priest line. This sign is from the previous age where satan deceived 1/3 of
GOD'S children to try to take GOD'S THRONE. The sign is of The Plan Of Salvation
where The LAMB slain from the foundation is planned to come and save as many of
GOD'S children as will, from death. The LAMB slain 'from the foundation of the world'
means it was planned at the foundation of the world.

3. The travailing is the birth pains to this age, just as 'beginnings of sorrows' in Matthew
24 means birth pains. The difference is that the birth pains in Matthew 24 are to the next
age, not this one.

4. The sign of the great red dragon was from the previous age also. It drew one third of
GOD'S children by his tail (deception) and cast them to the earth. This is why we are
here in flesh. The dragon caused everyone that has ever been or will be here in flesh to
have to go through this age to see whether they would love GOD or satan.The dragon
trying to devour the man child (JESUS) means that satan tried to stop JESUS from
coming in the flesh, and thereby stop GOD'S Plan of Salvation. The flesh is a veil to the
previous age, but what you will do, you will do. Your set of conditions is completely fair
based on what you did in that previous age.

5. JESUS has already been caught up to GOD at HIS Right Hand meaning that JESUS
is doing the Work of GOD, and the Iron Rod is discipline when JESUS rules the nations
in the Millennium (The LORD'S Day). The Millennium is for those who didn't get the
TRUTH here in the flesh age where GRACE is given to us by GOD. There is no GRACE
in the Millennium, it's all works and the people have to overcome satan at the end of the
Millennium by themselves. They can NOT call on JESUS Name for help. That means
they have to be prepared by serious discipline.

6. The place prepared for Mother Israel to come to the TRUTH is a place of safety
where she can study GOD'S WORD. The dragon however casts a flood out of his
mouth after the woman (Mother Israel), but the earth swallows up the flood. Words
come out of your mouth, meaning it's a flood of lies (deception) the dragon casts out
after the woman. The earth is the woman's remnant. That means it's those left of Israel
who know the TRUTH. They swallow up the flood of lies by telling the woman TRUTH.
Not all who are Israel are of Israel. That means it is those that are in CHRIST. They are
those who get delivered up and overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and by the
WORD of their testimonies (written here in Revelation 12 and in the Gospels). They are
GOD'S 7000, the very elect. GOD says touch not Mine anointed, so the devil is not
allowed to touch them. But he breaks GOD'S rule and kills the two witnesses (they are
election also), JESUS returns 3 1/2 days later, cutting the tribulation short (that is why
those days are shortened).

7. I think that since this sign (signal) is coming around in the flesh age that it is probably
the continuation of a sign that covers the entire age from beginning to end. And the
likely next step is the war in Heaven and satan being cast to earth along with his angels.
This is where satan takes on the role of anti CHRIST. Anti in the Greek means 'instead
of', not against. The scriptures were written in the Greek language. This means satan
will transform (disguise) himself as CHRIST. Because those on the earth mostly do not
know TRUTH, they will be deceived by satan's miracles and worship him. They will wish
for the rocks to fall on them when they see the TRUE CHRIST returning. They end up in
the Millennium weeping and gnashing their teeth as they are disciplined with the Iron
Rod of JESUS to prepare them to take satan on by themselves at the end. The stakes
are high. Even Michael the archangel would not argue with satan. If they don't
overcome satan at the end of the Millennium, they will go into the lake of fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.

In the book of Daniel, Gabriel the archangel tells Daniel that his prayer was answered
right away, but that it took Gabriel three weeks to get to Daniel because he was
blocked. Michael the archangel came and stood in to do battle for Gabriel so that
Gabriel was able to go on to tell Daniel his prayer was answered. I think (and this is only
my opinion) that even if the war in Heaven is September 23, 2017, that it may take
some time for the great tribulation to start. This is because I think satan shows up in the
middle of the time of the locust (May through September time frame). If you want to
know what the great tribulation is shortened to, look for how long it is given for the locust
army to hurt man. We can't know for sure when the great tribulation starts because no
one knows the hour (the hour of temptation), but we can know the season. We are
watchmen, so all we can do is watch. Remember though, if the watchman sees
something coming and doesn't warn the people, then their blood is on the watchman's
hands.

The bottom line though is that it is my opinion (and it is only an opinion) that the sign in
September is likely the next step of that great sign. That being the war in Heaven will
happen and satan will soon be cast to earth as antichrist. That would mean 'The Great
Tribulation Begins'.

If you are reading this, then you are likely seeking to understand GOD'S WORD. If you
are trying, but you don't understand. It's my opinion that your eyes just haven’t been
opened yet. We all need help, and we all need each other. I think that sometimes GOD
leads us to each other so that we can help each other. Maybe we hear a verse
explained and it suddenly gets us on the right path to understanding.
I would believe that a blind person would not seek what he can’t see. but that is just my
opinion. I would believe that someone who seeks has eyes to see. but sometimes just
needs direction. That is also just my opinion. I think that someone just needs to hear to
see, if they truly want to know. We've all been there. The rain comes at a certain time so
that the food grows. If I can help, please ask. I just want to do
what GOD wants me to do, so please help me to do that.

Revelation 12 'The Great Sign' [The Great Tribulation Begins] Revelation 12 ‘The Great Sign’

The Great Tribulation Begins

Revelation Time Frame Introduction

Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the
LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD:

The LORD'S Day (also known as the Millennium), is the Day that JESUS returns.
For some of us, it will be a Day of great love and happiness. For others, it will be a Day
of terror and darkness when
JESUS pours out The Cup Of WRATH on those that worshiped satan. All flesh ends
when that Day begins, but that Day
is one thousand years long and will consist of Iron Rod discipline for those that didn't
care enough to learn GOD'S
WORD and as a result fell away to satan.

2nd Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.

2nd Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to usward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be
burned up.

The Revelation of JESUS CHRIST as told in the book of Revelation is about what is
happening just before The LORD'S
Day, and what happens when The LORD'S Day starts, and things that happen during
The LORD'S Day as well. Some
things that have not yet happened from our time perspective are spoken of in the past
tense because John is taken to
The LORD'S Day at the beginning of the book of Revelation. After John has been
shown the prophecy, he is returned to
his normal time.

The following verses show the time frame of John's journey.

John is taken to The LORD'S Day in verse 1:10 of the book of
Revelation.

Revelation Time Frame

Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in
the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the
word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

John returns to his time in verse 22:8 of the book of Revelation.

Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord
God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done.

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them And when I had heard
and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things.

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
worship God.

Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.

The Sign

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven H8064 to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs H226 , and for seasons H4150 , and
for days, and years:

H8064
שׁמה שׁמים
shâmayim shâmeh
shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh'
The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning
to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which
the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies
revolve) : - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

H226
אות
'ôth
oth
Probably from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively),
as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-)
sign, token.

H4150
מועדה מעד מועד
mô‛êd mô‛êd mô‛âdâh
mo-ade', mo-ade', mo-aw-daw'
From H3259; properly an appointment , that is, a fixed time or season; specifically
a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a
definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of
meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand): - appointed (sign, time), (place
of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season,
solemn (-ity), synagogue, (set) time (appointed).

[Note: All prophecies given in days, solar months, years, sun or light have to do with
GOD. All prophecies given in nights, lunar months, moons or darkness are related to
satan.]

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder G4592 in heaven G3772 ; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars:

G4592
σημε􀀀ιον
sēmeion
say-mi'-on
Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of G4591; an indication , especially
ceremonially or supernaturally: - miracle, sign , token, wonder.

G3772
ου􀀀ρανός
ouranos
oo-ran-os'
Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by
extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power,
eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity): - air, heaven ([-ly]), sky.

[
The entire story of JESUS is told in the constellations. The fallen angels taught man
astrology as another deception to keep man from learning the TRUTH. That is why
people use the stars for a demonic deception on personalities and one's future. The
sign of Revelation 12:1 in the stars may be an actual sign to indicate the end coming,
but here is what the verse Revelation 12:1 means:
First of all, signs and wonders actually means signals and events (appointments). So,
the sign of the woman travailing in birth actually means the birth of the new age. Now
this sign has already happened, but it does not mean it would not show in the heavens
at the end of this age as a sign to those with eyes to see and ears to hear that this
second age is coming to a close. Revelation 12 covers a wide expanse from the end of
the previous age all the way through to the end of this age. Specifically, the sign in
Revelation 12:1 was in Heaven, not on earth. It was a sign from the previous age after
the overthrow of satan. It was of the plan of Salvation. The woman clothed with the sun
meant that it was Almighty GOD’S plan to save HIS children. The moon at her feet
indicated that the woman’s seed would bruise the devils head. The woman is Mother
Israel and the crown of twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. JESUS would come
through Israel.
]

Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.

[
The child she carried was JESUS, Almighty GOD’S Savior for HIS children. JESUS
would come through the KING line, Judah of Israel, and the PRIEST line, the Levites
which are the descendants of Aaron. This is also why JESUS has the Title of
Melchizedek, which is The KING/PRIEST. The birth pains are to the new age, the flesh
age (which is this age) where GOD’S children would have a veil to the previous age and
be able to choose innocently whether they would love GOD or satan. When this second
age (the flesh age) is over, we will no longer be in flesh bodies.
]

Revelation 12:3 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.

[
This sign was in Heaven also (not on earth). The great red dragon is the devil, also
known as satan the adversary. The devil had a one world system with seven heads and
ten horns just like the one world system that is forming here on earth at the end of this
age. The difference between the beast system of the previous age and the one of this
age is that the crowns were on the heads in the previous age, but they are on the horns
in this age. The reason the crowns are on the horns in this age is that the ten fallen
angels that had the crowns (on the heads) in the previous age no longer have
kingdoms. They have to take their kingdoms by power in this age when they are cast
out of Heaven with satan at the hour of temptation. Horns are symbolic of power. Here
is the one world system of this age:

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.

The beast system forms out of the people. It’s a sea of people. The peoples, and
nations, and multitudes, and tongues means that it is a one world system consisting of
all nations.

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

The blasphemy on the heads is that this system is saying that satan is GOD. The whore
is GOD'S children that are supposed to be The Bride Of CHRIST, but they are deceived
by satan because they do not know TRUTH. When satan shows up as the GROOM,
they fall away to him, believing he is JESUS. They worship satan before JESUS, the
TRUE GROOM returns. That is why they are known as the whore.

In the previous age satan set it in his mind to be GOD, and at the end of this age he will
do the same. The devil will deceive the children by means of miracles that he performs
in front of them on the earth. Those who do not know GOD’S WORD will believe satan
because they do not know that he is satan.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north:

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

The name lucifer means morning star. Morning star means early light, which symbolizes
TRUTH.
That was satan’s name before he fell, his name became satan after his fall. The name
satan means adversary. JESUS is the TRUE Bright and Morning Star.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for
joy?

GOD calls HIS children ‘stars’. The north side of the congregation is GOD’S position,
and satan wanted to take that position.

The ten horns are the fallen angels taking their power and GOD put it in their hearts to
give their power unto the beast until HIS WORDS are fulfilled. So, this beast system is
rising out of the people and the beast that leads them is satan.
]

Revelation 12:4 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.

[
The stars are GOD’S children. GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job and elsewhere in
The Bible). The dragon (satan) drew the third part of the stars of Heaven with his tail.
That means he deceived them. The dragon deceived them into trying to take GOD’S
THRONE. That attempted insurrection is why we are all here on earth in the flesh. A
third tried to take GOD’S THRONE, but the other two thirds weren’t worth much more.
Another third were couch potatoes that didn’t like what satan and the children were
doing (lukewarm), but did nothing (no backbone), and the last third didn’t care. A few
here and a few there out of the three thirds stood with GOD to overthrow satan. That is
why we are chosen, predestined, justified. We already chose WHO we love. We FIRST
(previous age) trusted in CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

We have eyes to see and ears to hear. The child that the dragon tried to devour is
JESUS (YAHSHUA, YAHAVEH’S SAVIOR). The serpent (satan) first tried to devour the
child by deceiving Eve in the Garden with the purpose of blocking the Seed of CHRIST.
Then the fallen angels of Genesis six attempted to block the Seed of CHRIST by taking
human wives. After that, in Matthew chapter four where he tempted CHRIST. Now he is
trying to deceive GOD’S children by false teachings and the one world beast system
that is rising that is similar to the one of the previous age.
]

Revelation 12:5 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.

[
Mother Israel brought forth Immanuel (GOD with us), YAHSHUA ( YAHAVEH’S
SAVIOR), which in English is JESUS. The LORD’S Day (the Millennium) is one
thousand years of Iron Rod discipline. The very elect will rule with JESUS for that
thousand years. The discipline is to prepare those that do not get TRUTH in this flesh
age and therefore worship satan. At the end of the thousand years they have to
overcome satan on their own. There is no GRACE in the Millennium.
Those that know TRUTH and still worship satan go into the lake of fire with satan and
his angels.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of
the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
]

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and
threescore days.

[
The woman is Mother Israel. Israel consists of twelve tribes. The tribe of Judah is one of
the twelve tribes. They are known as the Jews. The Jews currently inhabit the land of
Israel, but are mixed with the tares, who say they are jews, but do lie and are actually of
the synagogue of satan (see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). The other 11 tribes of Israel were
scattered throughout the earth and most of them do not know who they are. See
Genesis 48 and 49 for the prophecy that describes what these tribes would be in the
latter days. The point is that there is a place where Israel can study GOD’S WORD in
safety. You can research where the other tribes of Israel migrated after being released
from Assyria. It is said that they migrated over the Caucus mountains into Europe. See
the documentary by E. Raymond Capt: The Lost Tribes of Israel.
]

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.

[
Revelation Chapter 12 progresses from the previous age where the dragon deceived a
third of GOD’S children, all the way to the end of this age. When the devil and his
angels are cast to earth, the devil will deceive the whole world into believing that he is
GOD when he disguises himself as CHRIST. But he is actually anti CHRIST. ‘Anti’ in
the Greek language means ‘Instead of’, not against. So, the devil is coming instead of
CHRIST. The people of earth will believe the devil because he performs miracles in the
sight of man. Since most people are not familiar with GOD’S WORD, they will be
deceived even though The Bible clearly says that satan comes before CHRIST and
disguises himself as CHRIST.
]

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser
of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11 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.

[
The devil accuses GOD’S elect day and night. The elect are predestined and already
justified. When they sin, they get put back on the path when GOD disciplines them.

GOD says:

Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth.

The elect are Christians that know the TRUTH. They are not the goats on JESUS left
hand that HE tells to depart from HIM. The reason JESUS tells them to depart from HIM
is that they didn’t study or know the TRUTH and it results in them worshiping satan.
Once you worship satan, every righteous act you have ever done is stripped away from
you.:

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.

Those that are delivered up are GOD’S 7000, the very elect. The elect have three
categories, but they are all still elect. We use three categories to keep track of their
function for study purposes. The three categories are remnant, elect, and very elect.
The explanation of these categories is for another study. Most of the elect simply say
‘elect’ for all three categories, except when giving a thorough explanation. The very
elect overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and their testimony against satan:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.

Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer:

Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Luke 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

The verses above show that it is the very elect (GOD’S seven thousand, the election)
that get delivered up for a testimony. You can also see that a hair on your head will not
perish. In your patience possess ye your souls because you don’t love satan or his way
of life and you love not your life here unto death (satan). Which means, don’t give in to
satan. If you do, you lose your soul.
]

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

[
The Great Eagle is GOD. The woman (Israel) is given a place of safety and fed the
TRUTH (nourishment) for 3 ½ years. ‘Time’=year, ‘Times’=2 years, ‘A half Time’=½
year. From the face of the serpent means protected from deception. Also, Israel are
those ‘In CHRIST’. It doesn’t mean that all are physical Israel. Some are not natural
branches, but are grafted in. GOD’s 7000, which are the very elect. They fought with
GOD to overthrow satan in the previous age. They come from among all three thirds of
GOD’S children and can be of any nation or tongue.

Deuteronomy 32:9 For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Deuteronomy 32:12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
with him.
]

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

[
No creature can create a flood of water out of the mouth. Whenever you see a verse
that describes something that is not natural, it is describing a metaphor. The flood which
comes out of the serpent’s (deceiver’s) mouth is a flood of lies (deception).
]

Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

[
The earth is the elect, helping the woman to learn the TRUTH and countering the flood
of lies from the dragon (satan).
]

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.

[
The remnant of the woman’s seed is the very elect. They are the remainder of those
who have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST. They are the Stone cut out of the mountain
without hands. Their testimony will help to bring down the one world system, and they
are the plummet stone (stone with seven eyes) used by Zerubbabel to finish building
The End Time Temple Of The LORD, The Temple Of Wood (wood=trees,
trees=people).

Mark 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and
besought him to touch him.

Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and
when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw
ought.

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and
he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Mark 8:26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor
tell it to any in the town.
]

'The Great Tribulation Begins'

Keep in mind that in Revelation 1, John was taken to the LORD'S Day to describe what
he sees. He is to describe the things that happen before The LORD'S Day, during and
thereafter. That is why John will describe some things that are in our future as things
that are in his past.

The numbers below are item numbers, not verse numbers.

1. The sign was in Heaven. The definition of Heaven in Revelation 12:1 and 12:3 is
Heaven as in GOD'S Abode (where GOD dwells). It's not the same definition as in
Genesis 1:1 which means the sky or arc of the celestial bodies.

2. The woman is Mother Israel and has twelve stars as a crown. She is clothed with the
sun, which means she is clothed in righteousness. The moon is at her feet, which
means her Seed’s heal will bruise satan’s head as HIS enemies become HIS footstool.
GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job). The twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel.
JESUS comes through the King line of Israel which is the tribe of Judah, the true Jews,
and the Priest line. This sign is from the previous age where satan deceived 1/3 of
GOD'S children to try to take GOD'S THRONE. The sign is of The Plan Of Salvation
where The LAMB slain from the foundation is planned to come and save as many of
GOD'S children as will, from death. The LAMB slain 'from the foundation of the world'
means it was planned at the foundation of the world.

3. The travailing is the birth pains to this age, just as 'beginnings of sorrows' in Matthew
24 means birth pains. The difference is that the birth pains in Matthew 24 are to the next
age, not this one.

4. The sign of the great red dragon was from the previous age also. It drew one third of
GOD'S children by his tail (deception) and cast them to the earth. This is why we are
here in flesh. The dragon caused everyone that has ever been or will be here in flesh to
have to go through this age to see whether they would love GOD or satan.The dragon
trying to devour the man child (JESUS) means that satan tried to stop JESUS from
coming in the flesh, and thereby stop GOD'S Plan of Salvation. The flesh is a veil to the
previous age, but what you will do, you will do. Your set of conditions is completely fair
based on what you did in that previous age.

5. JESUS has already been caught up to GOD at HIS Right Hand meaning that JESUS
is doing the Work of GOD, and the Iron Rod is discipline when JESUS rules the nations
in the Millennium (The LORD'S Day). The Millennium is for those who didn't get the
TRUTH here in the flesh age where GRACE is given to us by GOD. There is no GRACE
in the Millennium, it's all works and the people have to overcome satan at the end of the
Millennium by themselves. They can NOT call on JESUS Name for help. That means
they have to be prepared by serious discipline.

6. The place prepared for Mother Israel to come to the TRUTH is a place of safety
where she can study GOD'S WORD. The dragon however casts a flood out of his
mouth after the woman (Mother Israel), but the earth swallows up the flood. Words
come out of your mouth, meaning it's a flood of lies (deception) the dragon casts out
after the woman. The earth is the woman's remnant. That means it's those left of Israel
who know the TRUTH. They swallow up the flood of lies by telling the woman TRUTH.
Not all who are Israel are of Israel. That means it is those that are in CHRIST. They are
those who get delivered up and overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and by the
WORD of their testimonies (written here in Revelation 12 and in the Gospels). They are
GOD'S 7000, the very elect. GOD says touch not Mine anointed, so the devil is not
allowed to touch them. But he breaks GOD'S rule and kills the two witnesses (they are
election also), JESUS returns 3 1/2 days later, cutting the tribulation short (that is why
those days are shortened).

7. I think that since this sign (signal) is coming around in the flesh age that it is probably
the continuation of a sign that covers the entire age from beginning to end. And the
likely next step is the war in Heaven and satan being cast to earth along with his angels.
This is where satan takes on the role of anti CHRIST. Anti in the Greek means 'instead
of', not against. The scriptures were written in the Greek language. This means satan
will transform (disguise) himself as CHRIST. Because those on the earth mostly do not
know TRUTH, they will be deceived by satan's miracles and worship him. They will wish
for the rocks to fall on them when they see the TRUE CHRIST returning. They end up in
the Millennium weeping and gnashing their teeth as they are disciplined with the Iron
Rod of JESUS to prepare them to take satan on by themselves at the end. The stakes
are high. Even Michael the archangel would not argue with satan. If they don't
overcome satan at the end of the Millennium, they will go into the lake of fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.

In the book of Daniel, Gabriel the archangel tells Daniel that his prayer was answered
right away, but that it took Gabriel three weeks to get to Daniel because he was
blocked. Michael the archangel came and stood in to do battle for Gabriel so that
Gabriel was able to go on to tell Daniel his prayer was answered. I think (and this is only
my opinion) that even if the war in Heaven is September 23, 2017, that it may take
some time for the great tribulation to start. This is because I think satan shows up in the
middle of the time of the locust (May through September time frame). If you want to
know what the great tribulation is shortened to, look for how long it is given for the locust
army to hurt man. We can't know for sure when the great tribulation starts because no
one knows the hour (the hour of temptation), but we can know the season. We are
watchmen, so all we can do is watch. Remember though, if the watchman sees
something coming and doesn't warn the people, then their blood is on the watchman's
hands.

The bottom line though is that it is my opinion (and it is only an opinion) that the sign in
September is likely the next step of that great sign. That being the war in Heaven will
happen and satan will soon be cast to earth as antichrist. That would mean 'The Great
Tribulation Begins'.

If you are reading this, then you are likely seeking to understand GOD'S WORD. If you
are trying, but you don't understand. It's my opinion that your eyes just haven’t been
opened yet. We all need help, and we all need each other. I think that sometimes GOD
leads us to each other so that we can help each other. Maybe we hear a verse
explained and it suddenly gets us on the right path to understanding.
I would believe that a blind person would not seek what he can’t see. but that is just my
opinion. I would believe that someone who seeks has eyes to see. but sometimes just
needs direction. That is also just my opinion. I think that someone just needs to hear to
see, if they truly want to know. We've all been there. The rain comes at a certain time so
that the food grows. If I can help, please ask. I just want to do
what GOD wants me to do, so please help me to do that.

Revelation 12 'The Great Sign' [The Great Tribulation Begins] Revelation 12 ‘The Great Sign’

The Great Tribulation Begins

Revelation Time Frame Introduction

Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the
LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD:

The LORD'S Day (also known as the Millennium), is the Day that JESUS returns.
For some of us, it will be a Day of great love and happiness. For others, it will be a Day
of terror and darkness when
JESUS pours out The Cup Of WRATH on those that worshiped satan. All flesh ends
when that Day begins, but that Day
is one thousand years long and will consist of Iron Rod discipline for those that didn't
care enough to learn GOD'S
WORD and as a result fell away to satan.

2nd Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the
Lord as a thousand years, and a
thousand years as one day.

2nd Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to usward,
not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a
great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works
that are therein shall be
burned up.

The Revelation of JESUS CHRIST as told in the book of Revelation is about what is
happening just before The LORD'S
Day, and what happens when The LORD'S Day starts, and things that happen during
The LORD'S Day as well. Some
things that have not yet happened from our time perspective are spoken of in the past
tense because John is taken to
The LORD'S Day at the beginning of the book of Revelation. After John has been
shown the prophecy, he is returned to
his normal time.

The following verses show the time frame of John's journey.

John is taken to The LORD'S Day in verse 1:10 of the book of
Revelation.

Revelation Time Frame

Revelation 1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in
the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the
word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,

Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou
seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto
Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

John returns to his time in verse 22:8 of the book of Revelation.

Revelation 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord
God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done.

Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the
prophecy of this book.

Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them And when I had heard
and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these
things.

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book:
worship God.

Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.

The Sign

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven H8064 to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs H226 , and for seasons H4150 , and
for days, and years:

H8064
שׁמה שׁמים
shâmayim shâmeh
shaw-mah'-yim, shaw-meh'
The second form being dual of an unused singular; from an unused root meaning
to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which
the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies
revolve) : - air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

H226
אות
'ôth
oth
Probably from H225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively),
as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.: - mark, miracle, (en-)
sign, token.

H4150
מועדה מעד מועד
mô‛êd mô‛êd mô‛âdâh
mo-ade', mo-ade', mo-aw-daw'
From H3259; properly an appointment , that is, a fixed time or season; specifically
a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a
definite purpose); technically the congregation; by extension, the place of
meeting; also a signal (as appointed beforehand): - appointed (sign, time), (place
of, solemn) assembly, congregation, (set, solemn) feast, (appointed, due) season,
solemn (-ity), synagogue, (set) time (appointed).

[Note: All prophecies given in days, solar months, years, sun or light have to do with
GOD. All prophecies given in nights, lunar months, moons or darkness are related to
satan.]

Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder G4592 in heaven G3772 ; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars:

G4592
σημε􀀀ιον
sēmeion
say-mi'-on
Neuter of a presumed derivative of the base of G4591; an indication , especially
ceremonially or supernaturally: - miracle, sign , token, wonder.

G3772
ου􀀀ρανός
ouranos
oo-ran-os'
Perhaps from the same as G3735 (through the idea of elevation); the sky; by
extension heaven (as the abode of God); by implication happiness, power,
eternity; specifically the Gospel (Christianity): - air, heaven ([-ly]), sky.

[
The entire story of JESUS is told in the constellations. The fallen angels taught man
astrology as another deception to keep man from learning the TRUTH. That is why
people use the stars for a demonic deception on personalities and one's future. The
sign of Revelation 12:1 in the stars may be an actual sign to indicate the end coming,
but here is what the verse Revelation 12:1 means:
First of all, signs and wonders actually means signals and events (appointments). So,
the sign of the woman travailing in birth actually means the birth of the new age. Now
this sign has already happened, but it does not mean it would not show in the heavens
at the end of this age as a sign to those with eyes to see and ears to hear that this
second age is coming to a close. Revelation 12 covers a wide expanse from the end of
the previous age all the way through to the end of this age. Specifically, the sign in
Revelation 12:1 was in Heaven, not on earth. It was a sign from the previous age after
the overthrow of satan. It was of the plan of Salvation. The woman clothed with the sun
meant that it was Almighty GOD’S plan to save HIS children. The moon at her feet
indicated that the woman’s seed would bruise the devils head. The woman is Mother
Israel and the crown of twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel. JESUS would come
through Israel.
]

Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.

[
The child she carried was JESUS, Almighty GOD’S Savior for HIS children. JESUS
would come through the KING line, Judah of Israel, and the PRIEST line, the Levites
which are the descendants of Aaron. This is also why JESUS has the Title of
Melchizedek, which is The KING/PRIEST. The birth pains are to the new age, the flesh
age (which is this age) where GOD’S children would have a veil to the previous age and
be able to choose innocently whether they would love GOD or satan. When this second
age (the flesh age) is over, we will no longer be in flesh bodies.
]

Revelation 12:3 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.

[
This sign was in Heaven also (not on earth). The great red dragon is the devil, also
known as satan the adversary. The devil had a one world system with seven heads and
ten horns just like the one world system that is forming here on earth at the end of this
age. The difference between the beast system of the previous age and the one of this
age is that the crowns were on the heads in the previous age, but they are on the horns
in this age. The reason the crowns are on the horns in this age is that the ten fallen
angels that had the crowns (on the heads) in the previous age no longer have
kingdoms. They have to take their kingdoms by power in this age when they are cast
out of Heaven with satan at the hour of temptation. Horns are symbolic of power. Here
is the one world system of this age:

Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his heads the name of blasphemy.

The beast system forms out of the people. It’s a sea of people. The peoples, and
nations, and multitudes, and tongues means that it is a one world system consisting of
all nations.

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

The blasphemy on the heads is that this system is saying that satan is GOD. The whore
is GOD'S children that are supposed to be The Bride Of CHRIST, but they are deceived
by satan because they do not know TRUTH. When satan shows up as the GROOM,
they fall away to him, believing he is JESUS. They worship satan before JESUS, the
TRUE GROOM returns. That is why they are known as the whore.

In the previous age satan set it in his mind to be GOD, and at the end of this age he will
do the same. The devil will deceive the children by means of miracles that he performs
in front of them on the earth. Those who do not know GOD’S WORD will believe satan
because they do not know that he is satan.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on
the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north:

Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

The name lucifer means morning star. Morning star means early light, which symbolizes
TRUTH.
That was satan’s name before he fell, his name became satan after his fall. The name
satan means adversary. JESUS is the TRUE Bright and Morning Star.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for
joy?

GOD calls HIS children ‘stars’. The north side of the congregation is GOD’S position,
and satan wanted to take that position.

The ten horns are the fallen angels taking their power and GOD put it in their hearts to
give their power unto the beast until HIS WORDS are fulfilled. So, this beast system is
rising out of the people and the beast that leads them is satan.
]

Revelation 12:4 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.

[
The stars are GOD’S children. GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job and elsewhere in
The Bible). The dragon (satan) drew the third part of the stars of Heaven with his tail.
That means he deceived them. The dragon deceived them into trying to take GOD’S
THRONE. That attempted insurrection is why we are all here on earth in the flesh. A
third tried to take GOD’S THRONE, but the other two thirds weren’t worth much more.
Another third were couch potatoes that didn’t like what satan and the children were
doing (lukewarm), but did nothing (no backbone), and the last third didn’t care. A few
here and a few there out of the three thirds stood with GOD to overthrow satan. That is
why we are chosen, predestined, justified. We already chose WHO we love. We FIRST
(previous age) trusted in CHRIST.

Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

We have eyes to see and ears to hear. The child that the dragon tried to devour is
JESUS (YAHSHUA, YAHAVEH’S SAVIOR). The serpent (satan) first tried to devour the
child by deceiving Eve in the Garden with the purpose of blocking the Seed of CHRIST.
Then the fallen angels of Genesis six attempted to block the Seed of CHRIST by taking
human wives. After that, in Matthew chapter four where he tempted CHRIST. Now he is
trying to deceive GOD’S children by false teachings and the one world beast system
that is rising that is similar to the one of the previous age.
]

Revelation 12:5 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.

[
Mother Israel brought forth Immanuel (GOD with us), YAHSHUA ( YAHAVEH’S
SAVIOR), which in English is JESUS. The LORD’S Day (the Millennium) is one
thousand years of Iron Rod discipline. The very elect will rule with JESUS for that
thousand years. The discipline is to prepare those that do not get TRUTH in this flesh
age and therefore worship satan. At the end of the thousand years they have to
overcome satan on their own. There is no GRACE in the Millennium.
Those that know TRUTH and still worship satan go into the lake of fire with satan and
his angels.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,

Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Revelation 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of
the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
]

Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and
threescore days.

[
The woman is Mother Israel. Israel consists of twelve tribes. The tribe of Judah is one of
the twelve tribes. They are known as the Jews. The Jews currently inhabit the land of
Israel, but are mixed with the tares, who say they are jews, but do lie and are actually of
the synagogue of satan (see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9). The other 11 tribes of Israel were
scattered throughout the earth and most of them do not know who they are. See
Genesis 48 and 49 for the prophecy that describes what these tribes would be in the
latter days. The point is that there is a place where Israel can study GOD’S WORD in
safety. You can research where the other tribes of Israel migrated after being released
from Assyria. It is said that they migrated over the Caucus mountains into Europe. See
the documentary by E. Raymond Capt: The Lost Tribes of Israel.
]

Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

Revelation 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.

[
Revelation Chapter 12 progresses from the previous age where the dragon deceived a
third of GOD’S children, all the way to the end of this age. When the devil and his
angels are cast to earth, the devil will deceive the whole world into believing that he is
GOD when he disguises himself as CHRIST. But he is actually anti CHRIST. ‘Anti’ in
the Greek language means ‘Instead of’, not against. So, the devil is coming instead of
CHRIST. The people of earth will believe the devil because he performs miracles in the
sight of man. Since most people are not familiar with GOD’S WORD, they will be
deceived even though The Bible clearly says that satan comes before CHRIST and
disguises himself as CHRIST.
]

Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser
of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Revelation 12:11 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.

[
The devil accuses GOD’S elect day and night. The elect are predestined and already
justified. When they sin, they get put back on the path when GOD disciplines them.

GOD says:

Romans 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifieth.

The elect are Christians that know the TRUTH. They are not the goats on JESUS left
hand that HE tells to depart from HIM. The reason JESUS tells them to depart from HIM
is that they didn’t study or know the TRUTH and it results in them worshiping satan.
Once you worship satan, every righteous act you have ever done is stripped away from
you.:

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?

Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from
me, ye that work iniquity.

Those that are delivered up are GOD’S 7000, the very elect. The elect have three
categories, but they are all still elect. We use three categories to keep track of their
function for study purposes. The three categories are remnant, elect, and very elect.
The explanation of these categories is for another study. Most of the elect simply say
‘elect’ for all three categories, except when giving a thorough explanation. The very
elect overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and their testimony against satan:

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.

Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute
you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before
kings and rulers for my name's sake.

Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer:

Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Luke 21:16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks,
and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

Luke 21:17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

The verses above show that it is the very elect (GOD’S seven thousand, the election)
that get delivered up for a testimony. You can also see that a hair on your head will not
perish. In your patience possess ye your souls because you don’t love satan or his way
of life and you love not your life here unto death (satan). Which means, don’t give in to
satan. If you do, you lose your soul.
]

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great
wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and
times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

[
The Great Eagle is GOD. The woman (Israel) is given a place of safety and fed the
TRUTH (nourishment) for 3 ½ years. ‘Time’=year, ‘Times’=2 years, ‘A half Time’=½
year. From the face of the serpent means protected from deception. Also, Israel are
those ‘In CHRIST’. It doesn’t mean that all are physical Israel. Some are not natural
branches, but are grafted in. GOD’s 7000, which are the very elect. They fought with
GOD to overthrow satan in the previous age. They come from among all three thirds of
GOD’S children and can be of any nation or tongue.

Deuteronomy 32:9 For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance.

Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Deuteronomy 32:12 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
with him.
]

Revelation 12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

[
No creature can create a flood of water out of the mouth. Whenever you see a verse
that describes something that is not natural, it is describing a metaphor. The flood which
comes out of the serpent’s (deceiver’s) mouth is a flood of lies (deception).
]

Revelation 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

[
The earth is the elect, helping the woman to learn the TRUTH and countering the flood
of lies from the dragon (satan).
]

Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ.

[
The remnant of the woman’s seed is the very elect. They are the remainder of those
who have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST. They are the Stone cut out of the mountain
without hands. Their testimony will help to bring down the one world system, and they
are the plummet stone (stone with seven eyes) used by Zerubbabel to finish building
The End Time Temple Of The LORD, The Temple Of Wood (wood=trees,
trees=people).

Mark 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and
besought him to touch him.

Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and
when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw
ought.

Mark 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

Mark 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and
he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Mark 8:26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor
tell it to any in the town.
]

'The Great Tribulation Begins'

Keep in mind that in Revelation 1, John was taken to the LORD'S Day to describe what
he sees. He is to describe the things that happen before The LORD'S Day, during and
thereafter. That is why John will describe some things that are in our future as things
that are in his past.

The numbers below are item numbers, not verse numbers.

1. The sign was in Heaven. The definition of Heaven in Revelation 12:1 and 12:3 is
Heaven as in GOD'S Abode (where GOD dwells). It's not the same definition as in
Genesis 1:1 which means the sky or arc of the celestial bodies.

2. The woman is Mother Israel and has twelve stars as a crown. She is clothed with the
sun, which means she is clothed in righteousness. The moon is at her feet, which
means her Seed’s heal will bruise satan’s head as HIS enemies become HIS footstool.
GOD calls HIS children stars (see Job). The twelve stars are the twelve tribes of Israel.
JESUS comes through the King line of Israel which is the tribe of Judah, the true Jews,
and the Priest line. This sign is from the previous age where satan deceived 1/3 of
GOD'S children to try to take GOD'S THRONE. The sign is of The Plan Of Salvation
where The LAMB slain from the foundation is planned to come and save as many of
GOD'S children as will, from death. The LAMB slain 'from the foundation of the world'
means it was planned at the foundation of the world.

3. The travailing is the birth pains to this age, just as 'beginnings of sorrows' in Matthew
24 means birth pains. The difference is that the birth pains in Matthew 24 are to the next
age, not this one.

4. The sign of the great red dragon was from the previous age also. It drew one third of
GOD'S children by his tail (deception) and cast them to the earth. This is why we are
here in flesh. The dragon caused everyone that has ever been or will be here in flesh to
have to go through this age to see whether they would love GOD or satan.The dragon
trying to devour the man child (JESUS) means that satan tried to stop JESUS from
coming in the flesh, and thereby stop GOD'S Plan of Salvation. The flesh is a veil to the
previous age, but what you will do, you will do. Your set of conditions is completely fair
based on what you did in that previous age.

5. JESUS has already been caught up to GOD at HIS Right Hand meaning that JESUS
is doing the Work of GOD, and the Iron Rod is discipline when JESUS rules the nations
in the Millennium (The LORD'S Day). The Millennium is for those who didn't get the
TRUTH here in the flesh age where GRACE is given to us by GOD. There is no GRACE
in the Millennium, it's all works and the people have to overcome satan at the end of the
Millennium by themselves. They can NOT call on JESUS Name for help. That means
they have to be prepared by serious discipline.

6. The place prepared for Mother Israel to come to the TRUTH is a place of safety
where she can study GOD'S WORD. The dragon however casts a flood out of his
mouth after the woman (Mother Israel), but the earth swallows up the flood. Words
come out of your mouth, meaning it's a flood of lies (deception) the dragon casts out
after the woman. The earth is the woman's remnant. That means it's those left of Israel
who know the TRUTH. They swallow up the flood of lies by telling the woman TRUTH.
Not all who are Israel are of Israel. That means it is those that are in CHRIST. They are
those who get delivered up and overcome satan by The Blood Of The LAMB and by the
WORD of their testimonies (written here in Revelation 12 and in the Gospels). They are
GOD'S 7000, the very elect. GOD says touch not Mine anointed, so the devil is not
allowed to touch them. But he breaks GOD'S rule and kills the two witnesses (they are
election also), JESUS returns 3 1/2 days later, cutting the tribulation short (that is why
those days are shortened).

7. I think that since this sign (signal) is coming around in the flesh age that it is probably
the continuation of a sign that covers the entire age from beginning to end. And the
likely next step is the war in Heaven and satan being cast to earth along with his angels.
This is where satan takes on the role of anti CHRIST. Anti in the Greek means 'instead
of', not against. The scriptures were written in the Greek language. This means satan
will transform (disguise) himself as CHRIST. Because those on the earth mostly do not
know TRUTH, they will be deceived by satan's miracles and worship him. They will wish
for the rocks to fall on them when they see the TRUE CHRIST returning. They end up in
the Millennium weeping and gnashing their teeth as they are disciplined with the Iron
Rod of JESUS to prepare them to take satan on by themselves at the end. The stakes
are high. Even Michael the archangel would not argue with satan. If they don't
overcome satan at the end of the Millennium, they will go into the lake of fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.

In the book of Daniel, Gabriel the archangel tells Daniel that his prayer was answered
right away, but that it took Gabriel three weeks to get to Daniel because he was
blocked. Michael the archangel came and stood in to do battle for Gabriel so that
Gabriel was able to go on to tell Daniel his prayer was answered. I think (and this is only
my opinion) that even if the war in Heaven is September 23, 2017, that it may take
some time for the great tribulation to start. This is because I think satan shows up in the
middle of the time of the locust (May through September time frame). If you want to
know what the great tribulation is shortened to, look for how long it is given for the locust
army to hurt man. We can't know for sure when the great tribulation starts because no
one knows the hour (the hour of temptation), but we can know the season. We are
watchmen, so all we can do is watch. Remember though, if the watchman sees
something coming and doesn't warn the people, then their blood is on the watchman's
hands.

The bottom line though is that it is my opinion (and it is only an opinion) that the sign in
September is likely the next step of that great sign. That being the war in Heaven will
happen and satan will soon be cast to earth as antichrist. That would mean 'The Great
Tribulation Begins'.

If you are reading this, then you are likely seeking to understand GOD'S WORD. If you
are trying, but you don't understand. It's my opinion that your eyes just haven’t been
opened yet. We all need help, and we all need each other. I think that sometimes GOD
leads us to each other so that we can help each other. Maybe we hear a verse
explained and it suddenly gets us on the right path to understanding.
I would believe that a blind person would not seek what he can’t see. but that is just my
opinion. I would believe that someone who seeks has eyes to see. but sometimes just
needs direction. That is also just my opinion. I think that someone just needs to hear to
see, if they truly want to know. We've all been there. The rain comes at a certain time so
that the food grows. If I can help, please ask. I just want to do
what GOD wants me to do, so please help me to do that.
