I believe the woman is Israel.
Revelation 12:1 description is the same description of Israel in Genesis 37.
Revelation12:1. "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the SUN, and the MOON under her feet, and upon her head a crown of TWELVE STARS:"
Genesis 37:9-10.
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the SUN and the MOON and the ELEVEN STARS made obeisance to me.
( Verse 10 Jacob interpret the dream for us.)
Vs 10. "And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?"
God bless.
We have enjoyed the good weather we have had this past spring and summer. We know that the NW fall winter gray and rain will soon be here.
I hope that you are doing well.
Thank you for thinking of me. I too wonder about the well-being of Mishael and others, may they be well. Hope you and your family are well and your walking has improved.
God bless,

The woman is all creation, whether you be male or female, we are all the woman, destined to be the bride of Christ, and be made one with him.
1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam (Christ) was first formed, then Eve (woman, whether you are male are female).
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman (all creation) being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Timothy 2:14 Notwithstanding she (creation, the woman) shall BE SAVED IN CHILDBEARING .....
Revelation is signified (most nouns have a meaning that is different than what a dictionary would define them) heaven is symbolic of mankind, where God dwells, IN YOU.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven (in Janet), a woman (Janet) clothed with the sun (the Spirit of the Father), and the moon (Christ) under her (Janet's) feet, and upon her (Janet's) head a crown of twelve stars (angels, ministering spirits).
Revelation 12:2 And she (Janet) being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pain to be delivered.
Revelation 12:5 And she (Janet) brought forth a man child .....
Galatians 4:19 ....I travail in birth, till Christ be formed in you ....
Revelation 2:26 An he that overcometh (deception), and keepeth MY WORKS (Christ is the life in Janet, the man child Janet birthed) until the end, to him (to Janet the body of Christ) will I (Christ in Janet) give power over the nations,
Revelation 2:27 And he (Janet, the body of Christ) sall rule them with a rod of iron .....even as I received of my Father.
God Bless YOU, Christ's body.
Haven't heard from you for awhile. Thank you for a good analysis of this scenario in Revelations.
My understanding, study for yours.
Different opinions on who the woman is that is clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars. Some say the Church, some say Israel, some say Mary. In verse 3 another wonder, a great red dragon that drew a third part of the stars and cast them to earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman ready to devour her child.
Both of these wonders appeared in heaven. The word wonders Greek- semeion, means something extraordinary, or miraculous, mostly translated sign. Sign with a meaning of divine power or purpose made known. Sometimes the word is used to denote a sign of future things.
We know the dragon is Satan because scripture says so and most would agree the man child is Jesus the one who will rule all nations with a rod of iron, Psalms 2:9, Revelation 2:27, 12:5, and 19:15. The scripture is clear this starts before Jesus was born, the dragon was going to devour the child as soon as it was born. We see this effort of Satan when king Herod ordered not only the killing of all the children in Bethlehem but on all the coasts, from two years old and under.
The woman flees to a wilderness prepared by God to be there for 1260 days. This is after the ascension of Jesus, not just after, but in the future. For the Church as being the woman, when the dragon was standing in front of her, Jesus was not yet born, the Church was formed after he was born, the Church did not birth Jesus.
The woman cannot be Mary, even though she was the mother of Jesus, we are not of the seed of Mary as we see in verse 17, "the remnant of her seed". So, this leaves the third choice, which is Israel. If we look back in Genesis, we see a pretty good picture of this woman, Genesis 37:9-10.
Chapter 12 covers the time from before our Lord's birth and ascension to the throne, up to the casting out of heaven of Satan and the fallen angels permanently, Rev.12:8-9, to the start of the Great Tribulation.
God bless,

We are all coming to the truth of God's word, God's doing and God's timetable.
Matthew 24
Christ is talking to his disciples about his coming again to them and the tribulation that must occur first, they didn't understand and most today don't understand.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, this generation (those to whom he was speaking) shall not pass, till all the things BE FULFILLED.
Revelation explains this, if you take it as the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and not something in the future, the generation living at the time of Christ saw the wrath of God that was poured out on Christ and they saw Christ appearing the second time as the Holy Ghost.
We have been in the days of Noah since that great tribulation was poured out on Christ, and his coming the second time as the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth .......
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, the was a great earthquake: and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon (Christ) became as blood;
Revelation 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to earth .....
Luke 23:44 And it was about the sixth hour and there was darkness over the whole earth until the ninth hour,
Luke 23:45 And the sun was darkened ......
Matthew 27:54 .....saw the earthquake .......
Revelation 15:8 ....and no man was able to enter into the temple (you are the temple), till the seven plaques of the seven angels be fulfilled.
God Bless you.
There is not two separate revelations in Revelation, it's one revelation, the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ .......
Revelation is not addressed to the seven churches, but to the angel of the seven churches.
Revelation 2:1 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Ephesus write ....
Revelation 2:8 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Smyrna write .....
Revelation 2:12 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Pergamos write ......
Revelation 2:18 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Thyatira write ....
Revelation 3:1 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Sardis write ......
Revelation 3:7 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Philadelphia write .....
Revelation 3:14 Unto the ANGEL of the church at Laodiceans write .....
Mark !3:24 But in those days (the wrath of God that was poured out on Christ), after the tribulation (that wrath of God, poured out on Christ) , the sun shall be darkened, and the moon (symbolic of Christ) shall not give her light,
Mark 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall .....
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth .....
Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness (the sun was darkened) over all the earth unto the ninth hour.
And the moon (symbolic of Christ) turned to blood, and covered the sins of creation.
God Bless you in the quest for TRUTH ( John 14:6 ...I AM TRUTH....I AM LIFE)
We are made overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb AND our testimony. And we did not love our lives to the death.
Revelation 12:10-11
Why do you ask? James 4:7,
Hopefully these are helpful
This chapter marks what appears to be the Resurrection of the saints of God from the Tribulation which is immediately before the bowl judgments. In that sense surely God's people won't endure the final plagues. This is accentuated by the comment in verse 8; that no man could enter the temple in heaven until the final plagues occurred. There was no more "smoke of the incense of the prayers" mitigating things; and judgment was to be full force.
It is interesting in verse 5 that the "temple of the tabernacle of the testimony" is mentioned. Certainly; those who gave the testimony to overcome reminds us of Revelation 12:11. We must remember that overcoming any of these things; whether it is the image of the beast (which somehow causes people to be killed ( Rev. 13:15); the mark of the beast and the associated number of his name all takes supernatural strength. Again; we need to remember that ALL whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world will worship the Beast ( Rev. 13:8). This shows the destinies of men from before all time were all predestined as WELL as showing Christ was the sacrificial atonement for that group of people ALSO before time began. By default; this means not only are we all sinners and rebels but that literally we would worship Antichrist if he appeared today; and in our hearts Satan is our father ( John 8:44).
These harsh realities are the only rational approach to show how far sin has damaged this nation and the earth as a whole. Today; much of what involves the lust of the eyes ( 1 John 2:15-17) is virtual reality; minds are controlled with substances (Pharmakeia Rev. 18:23) and people desperately want assurance that life can continue and the party can go on. The danger is when the Lord Himself gives up people to sin ( Romans 1:24). Truly; Isaiah 24:17 describes the fear; pit and snare upon the inhabitants of the earth after He raptures the Bride.
Sometimes people live up to names given, is it because they've been called so? Genesis 27:36,
However sometimes a name is earned: Genesis 25:30, Genesis 30:13, Revelation 11:8, Revelation 12:9, Revelation 19:13, Revelation 17:14
Many times people in the Bible share name, yet are completely different. Especially 1611 KJV, on this site. Examples today many people have name like Jesus pronunciation different are not even close, or Angels names, that are far from. We should be careful to not be deceived even evil can appear as light, likewise many names have been made to deceive. 2Corinthians 11:13,14
There are divine names given by GOD however, those maybe we should take more notice of, :
Genesis 16:11,12, Genesis 11:29, + Genesis 17:5,15,19, Genesis 32:28, Genesis 35:10, Revelation 19:11,
Thanks for your question, for it did remind me of that. Genesis 5:2,
Hopefully these are helpful & give you intrigue into deeper study of names with scripture & reading GOD's WORD
Verse 7-12 show Michael; who is the angel who had contented with Satan previously over the body of Moses (Jude; verse 9). He watches over His people ( Dan. 12:1). He will battle with Satan with each opposing army of angels. Of course; Satan loses and is cast to earth. This gives the victorious statements in verses 10-12. It seems here that the accuser through the whole first half of the Trib. will be accusing us. He won't be able to get in the way of the Lord. Some say this is only for those still alive; but I can't see how that can be said. In any event we ALL will be glad when this event happens.
The rest of the passage gets into God's protection against a "flood" verse 15 (some take it as a band of warriors; but possibly it is a literal flood) which occurs after Satan is cast down. After God protects His own (probably hiding in Petra); Satan goes after the rest of the believers; which will be those in the next chapter taking the mark and going after nonbelievers themselves; most likely or with his minions.
4 And (his) tail draggeth the third part of the stars of heaven, and (he) cast them to the earth: and the dragon is
standing before the woman which was ready to be delivered, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.
What is the object ? (The dragon)
What did his tail do ? (It dragged 1/3 part of the stars, and cast them to the earth) they were deceived and followed him, it caused them to be (thrown down) not thrown out with him,.,, as when a fishermans net drags the bottom of the lake, dragging the net of fishes
drew = draggeth. See John 21:8
Always when he's either returning for the church or His personal appearing in
The appearing or revelation of Jesus Christ. The first appearing he does not
Touch down in thessalonians but we meet Him in the air. The second one he
Does to judge mankind revelation. In 1Corinthians 4:3 Paul talks about being
Judged by man's judgement that is who does the judging in courts around the
World, another way of putting it is man's day. There are things in the book of
Revelation that have already occurred. Revelation 12:1-6 have already happened.
Psalms 24:1, 1Corinthians 10:26, The Earth's the LORD's & fullness thereof

Genesis 3:12 And the man Adam said,"The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent
[Satan] beguiled/wholly seduced me, and I did eat."
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity/construct between thee and the woman, and between thy [Satan's] seed and her Seed; Christ shall bruise thy head [vital part], and thou shalt bruise His heel [lower part]."
16 Unto the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception [pregnancy]; in sorrow [painful
toil] thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be subject to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the SERPENT BEGUILED EVE THROUGH HIS SUBTILTY, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Who's the serpent? 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.
Matthew 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
......And Revelation 12:5 ....She brought forth a manchild that is gona rule ALL NATIONS with a rod of iron....Why wd God send this manchild which is the H.G....The Spirit of truth that Jesus tells us will reprove the WORLD of sin and righteousness and judgement...If God were gonna do away with this beautiful earth...(All Nations )... John 16:8 ....When he the spirit of truth is come he will reprove the world of sin and judgement and Righteousness...So this world has no end...It even mentions that God will destroy them that destroy this earth...In Rev. 11 :18
......In Rev. 14 :6 I saw another mighty Angel having the everlasting Gospel to preach to all that dwell on the earth...To every Nation, ppl, kindred, tongue....Saying give Glory to him that made the earth and the heaven and fountains of waters.
......Why wd God send this angel to preach the everlasting gospel to all that dwell on the earth...If there were no Population to preach to....And y wd God have to send this mighty Angel to preach the everlasting gospel to all that dwell on the earth if the Churches had the everlasting Gospel...Plz note the Kingdom of God does not come till the woman births the manchild which is the H.G...That Spirit of truth...The Children of PROMISE....Our new heart and new spirit...We have to birth a new innerman via his good seed the word And Jesus said that he wd abide with us forever...So there is gona be a great Population right here on this earth....Seed time and HARVEST FOREVER.
I'm not settled on who or what is keeping Satan at bay.
Some theories i've heard,
The holy spirit
The church itself as a whole (seems unlikely to me)
Michael and his angels (see below)
Revelation 12:7-12
King James Version
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
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.
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.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, 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.
Seems like satan stays in heaven and is stuck in heaven until he and his are cast down after the war with michael and his angels in heaven.
1st want to address
The Earth is The LORD's & the fulness thereof! Psalms 24:1, Daniel 7:13-14, Romans 6:9,
Dominion GOD gave to mankind. Genesis 1:26,27,28,
War in Heaven: cast out, Revelation 12:7-17, persecution but not dominion, John 8:42-44, Revelation 20:7-15, Please read all of Chapter for context. Revelation 13, Revelation 20, deceiver like Genesis 3, James 4,
Psalms 145:1-13, Daniel 4:2,3,34, Daniel 6:26, Ephesians 1:17-23, Ephesians 6:11-18,
Hopefully these are helpful,
Please read the WORD, & study
Scripture does not tell us when Satan rebelled and lost his rank, when Jesus said I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven, Luke 10:18, Scripture does tell us when he will be cast down permanently with no more access to heaven. He still has access because he is the accuser. When he will be cast out forever is in the future, that starts the tribulation that is coming.
Revelation 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 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.
God bless,

That's easily seen in scripture.
The Church didn't bring on the man child "Christ". Revelation 12:5. and Revelation 19:15-16.
Christ brought on the Church!!
Here's just two of many.
Matthew 16:18.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11.
As you said Israel is the woman and she brought on the man child who is Christ. " Romans 9:4-5."
Also Revelation 12:1. parallels with Genesis 37:9-10. It gives a description of who the Sun and the Moon and the twelve stars are.
Now hold on to your hat!
God bless.

Revelation 12:1 starts with a great spectacle that John saw; that of a woman clothed with the sun, etc., etc. Question: Who is this woman? Unless, she is identified, the rest of your comment on this chapter may or may not change. You've already stated that the "man child" is the Holy Ghost, which I dispute. So to establish an understanding of this account, who is the woman? Thank you.

Isaiah 9:6
Please start with : James 1:5,
It's amazing over many years of reading, rereading & studying, GOD can teach us something new every time. Hopefully you'll continue to read it several times.
Son's of GOD = Genesis 6:2, notice: Genesis 4:26, = John 1:12, Romans 8:14, Philippians 2:15, 1John 3:1, 2
Job 1:6, Job 2:1, = notice the vrs. right before, Job 1:5, & right before, Job 2, Job 1:20-22, Revelation 12:10,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study
You are very knowledgeable in the scriptures, and you didn't get there by not understanding that a great deal of scriptures are symbolised or signified.
Revelation 1:1 .....and SIGNIFIED IT ......
Revelation 12:i And there appeared a great wonder in heaven .....
Is heaven the physical, OR, signified? the word says it's signified.
The woman also is signified, being Christ's church, or his bride.
The wonder IN HEAVEN is a woman, the church, the bride of Christ, YOU ARE HEAVEN, the abode of GOD and Christ at his right hand.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder IN SUZE; SUZE clothed with the SUN (the Father abiding in SUZE, and the MOON (Christ, the faithful witness IN HEAVEN) under SUZE'S feet, and upon SUZE'S head a crown of twelve stars (an innumerable company of angels, ministering spirits).
Psalms 84:11 The LORD God is a SUN (signified) and shield: the LORD (the sun) will give GRACE and GLORY: no good thing will he (the sun) withhold from them (SUZE) that walk uprightly.
Psalms 121:6 The SUN (the Father) shall not smite thee by day, nor the MOON (Christ, the faithful witness in heaven) by night.
Psalms 89:35 Once have I (the Father) sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
Psalms 89:36 HIS SEED (CHRIST'S SEED)(SUZE the SEED) shall endure forever, and his (Christ's) throne as the SUN (the Father) before me (Christ).
Psalms 89:37 It (Christ's throne, SUZE the throne, set in heaven) shall be established forever as the MOON (Christ), as my faithful witness IN HEAVEN (IN SUZE).
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is MY FAITHFUL WITNESS ......in HEAVEN, in SUZE, this mystery .....CHRIST IN YOU ......
God Bless you.
These two covenants are as far apart as the east is from the west.
Revelation 21:5 ......I make ALL THINGS NEW ........
In the Old Covenant, LIFE was in the BLOOD.
Flesh and Blood CANNOT inherit the NEXT AGE.
Christ came as a BODY of Flesh and Blood.
John 3:7 .....ye must be BORN AGAIN.
We CANNOT inherit the next age, because we are still flesh and blood.
When this BODY of flesh and blood DIES, it goes back to dust from whence it came.
The LIFE goes back to GOD that gave the BODY LIFE.
1 Corinthians 15:49 ....we SHALL bear the image of the heavenly ....
1 Corinthians 15:53 ...this mortal SHALL PUT ON IMMORTALITY (Christ) ...
1 Timothy 6:16 Who (CHRIST) ONLY hath immortality ....

Revelation 2:27 And he shall RULE THEM with a red of iron, even as I received of MY FATHER ( Psalms 2:8-9) ...
Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father OF ALL .....
Christ pour out his blood, and the flesh and blood BODY, DIED.
The Father RAISED Christ's BODY from the GRAVE and gave him a NEW BODY.
A Flesh and Bone BODY, the blood no longer the LIFE; but, the LIFE was SPIRIT.
John 4:24 God is SPIRIT (LIFE) ....
God Bless ALL.
