I tell you the truth The woman represents Gods people who are faithful and not conformed to worldly things. The crown is the 12 tribes of Israel. The Great Dragon was the monarchies that formed the Roman Empire, and the tail of the dragon was the military might of the empire. It standing before the woman was King Herod and the slaughter of innocence. The birth was the messiah, Jesus Christ and the resurrection meaning he went to God alive. Because of the resurrection Satan lost his right to accuse men before the throne of God. Thus he rebelled against God and was cast out on to the earth. So he no longer has the right to accuse, and he no longer has the right to come and go between heaven and earth because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ who paid for our sins. Now cast out, he uses the monarchies and the empire to persecute the Jewish people and the newly formed Christians. As a new era comes and the empire of Rome transforms to the European Monarchy, it will hand its authority to a new beast rising up out of the sea America.
