Revelation 12

The WOMAN, the CHILD, and the DRAGON

ALEF: MASTER: READY TO ACCEPT CONTROL OR INSTRUCTION
.. 1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun,
..... with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
BEYT: WIFE RELATIONSHIP .. 2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
GIMEL: ANGEL OF DEATH: REWARD or PUNISHMENT .. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon .... having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.

DALET: DOOR: LIFE & DEATH ..4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. ....And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, ....to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

HEI: EXTENDED ARM: BEHOLD, also TAKE SEED ..5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. .... And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.

In Chapter 11, the 'two lampstands' / olive trees / witnesses were killled, caught up to the throne - BEHOLD - verse 12 - they were seen ascending to heaven. "And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. This child has to do with the 'fall feasts' - not the spring feasts, therefore not speaking of Jesus Christ.  The promise of ruling is not only to Christ, but to the remnant of the church of Thyatria [Rev 2:27] who overcome during the tribulation time.


VAV: NAIL / CONNECT / LIGHT / UPRIGHT MAN ..6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, .... that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
 

As for the woman- - if 'fed the word of God, she will 'connect' to the Word of God. Just as God prepared a 'time and a place' for Jesus to 'meet the cross', to be 'nailed' to the cross - the upright man evident (Jesus lifted to the upright position on the pole), he has prepared this time and this place for the 'woman to be connected to Him' - even in her 'time of trouble'.

Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.

1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, .. So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, .. for the living God. .. When shall I come .. and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food .. day and night, .. While they continually say to me, .. "Where is your God?"
..4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. .... For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, .... With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast. ..5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? .....Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. ..6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; .... Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan [descent (into death)], .. .. And from the heights of Hermon [a sanctuary],

From the Hill Mizar [small (time)].
.. 7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; .. .. All Your waves and billows have gone over me. .. 8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, .. .. And in the night His song shall be with me a prayer to the God of my life. .. 9 I will say to God my Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? .. .. Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"
10 As with a breaking of my bones, my enemies reproach me, .... While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted within me? .... Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, .... The help of my countenance and my God. SATAN THROWN OUT OF HEAVEN

ZAYIN: SWORD:  CUT OFF WICKEDNESS /  WORD of GOD / SABBATH REST 
..7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael [who is like God] and his angels fought ....with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

CHET: CHUPPA: CONSUMMATE LOVE / LIFE ..8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.

TET: SNAKE or GOOD WORD ..9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ....who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, ....and his angels were cast out with him. '

YUD: HAND: AUTHORITY / WILL OF GOD

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
.... Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, .... and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, .... who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

KAF: PALM of hand or CLOUD: POWER to SUPPRESS evil
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, .... and they did not love their lives to the death.

LAMED: HEART or SHEPHERD STAFF: DISCIPLES
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! .... Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! .... For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, .... because he knows that he has a short time."

The WOMAN PERSECUTED

[Tabernacle: Pat Marvenko Smith]

MEM: WATER / WISDOM: MESSIAH
13 Now when the dragon saw ....that he had been cast to
....the earth, he persecuted
....the woman who gave birth
....to the male Child.


NUN: FISH or SEED: KINGDOM HEIR (S)
.......who 'RULE & REIGN in the Word
14 But the woman was given two wings ....of a great eagle, that she might fly
.... into the wilderness to her place, .... where she is nourished for a .... time and times and half a time, .... from the presence of the serpent.

Genesis 49 16 Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels
...so that its rider shall fall backward. 20 Bread from Asher shall be rich, and he shall yield royal dainties. 21 Naphtali is a deer let loose; He uses beautiful words.
When the tribes were camped around the tabernacle, there were three tribes each on the east, south, west, and north. The standard of the 'north' was the 'eagle', led by Dan, with Asher and Naphtali to either side (wings) of Dan.

SAMEK: CIRCLE or WEDDING RING
15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman,
.... that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

Remember Genesis 3 - the serpent coming to break the matrimonial bond between God and his people by deceiving the woman.

AYIN: EYE or SHEEP: DIVINE PROVIDENCE
16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and .... swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

PEH: MOUTH
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war .... with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and .... have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Shalom!
