Revelation Chapter 12 Broken Down

Revelation 12

 ¹And 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:

the woman is the nation of Israel, which is the Church of God with all other nations being grafted into the Church, and the man child is JESUS Christ.

Gensis 37

 ⁹And 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.

¹⁰And 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?

That is the nation of Israel that JESUS Christ came through...

Revelation 12

 ⁵And 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.

JESUS Christ is to rule all nations with a rod of iron... see Luke 1 v31 -33(³¹And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

 ³²He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

 ³³And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.)

Revelation 12
⁶And 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 children of Israel and the church will flee into the wilderness once the "abomination of desolation" is placed - this is a repeat of what they did while in Egypt but God will guide them to the place of safety, which is the wilderness for 3.5 years to avoid the great tribulation.

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

the church has been under constant persecution from Satan since the beginning...

¹⁴And 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 church was given passage to the wilderness to be nourished there for 3.5 years from the face of the serpent.

¹⁷And 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 LORD JESUS got the church safely into the wilderness; and those who Satan couldn't get, he went and chased her seed, and these are people who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of JESUS Christ.  These are people who did not understand the fleeing to the wilderness; these are people who wait for a rapture, instead of getting to the wilderness.

Praise God in Jesus name.
