Revelation 12:1

And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman ([The soul: Your Mind, will and emotions.] The true Church) arrayed with the sun, (Son) and the moon (Our thinking) under her feet, (Control) and upon her head (Where we think) a crown (Godly thinking) of  twelve stars; (Divine government)

This is the true Church, having the mind of Christ, as the head.

Revelation 12:2

and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor, and in pain to give birth.

12:2

and she (The true Church) was with child; (Christ’s image that is within us.) and she cried out, being in labor, (Not fully resting, trusting, and believing in God, but, fighting the fight of faith in order to enter into God’s rest.)

and in pain (Suffering from fighting the fight of faith. Suffering from choosing whom to believe, the thoughts of God or Satanic thoughts, as doubt.)

to give birth. (To bring forth the new life,  by trusting and believing in God and His Rest. Dead to the old self, the old bestial nature of fallen from God’s Grace [Power].)

Galatians 4:19;

 My little children, of whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you.

Hebrews 4:11;

Let us diligently labor therefore to enter into that rest, that no man fall (From Grace) after the same example (Israel, in the wilderness) of unbelief.

Galatians 4:22-24;

For it is written that, Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman, (The False Church) (NOTE: Revelation 17 and 18; The Harlot Babylon) and one by the  free woman. (The True Church) 23, Howbeit the [son] by the

bondwoman (The False Church) is born after the flesh; (Earthly) but the [son] by the free woman [is born] through promise. (Believing and trusting what God said He will do by faith.) 24, Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. (NOTE: Revelation 2:23; 11:8; 11:13; 17:5;)

Galatians 4:25-26;

Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present (Earthly) Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage (To Sin, lawlessness I John 3:4-7;) with her children. (Practicing Lawlessness) (NOTE: Revelation 13:13 @ Matthew 7:23) (NOTE: Revelation 2:23; 11:8; 11:13; 17:5:26;)

But the Jerusalem

(New Jerusalem, the True Church)

that is above is free, which is our Mother.

(The True Church, New Jerusalem)

Galatians 4:27-31;

For it is written, Rejoice, barren woman who does not bear; Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor: (Those who have entered His rest) For more numerous are the children of the desolate (Those connected to the Harlot who have self on the throne are desolate without Jesus in His rightful seat in the Temple.) than of her that has a husband. (Jesus) :28,  Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. :29, But, as at the same time, he that was born according to the flesh persecuted him [who was born] according to the Spirit, so it is now also. :30, But what does the scripture say? Cast out (Separate from) (NOTE: Revelation 18:4;) the Bondwoman (False Church, The Harlot Babylon, The church built with hands) and her son: (Offspring) for the son of the Bondwoman (False Church) shall not inherit with the son (Offspring) of the free woman. (The true Church):31; So then, brethren, we are not children of a Bondwoman, (Earthly Jerusalem) but of the free woman. (New Jerusalem) (Note: Revelation 11:8; @ Galatians 4:26; Revelation 21:2)

Romans 4:21;

 And being fully assured that what He had promised, He was able also to perform. We are to be children of the Promise. (Believing  the promises of God by faith. Galatians 4:28; …We are children of promise.)

Therefore, If I am Practicing Righteousness by loving God to be obedient and humble, (II John:6 and Philippians 2:8;) through faith, by Repenting, confessing and asking for God’s Grace to change me, I am Righteous as He is Righteous. By faith then, which is, trusting and believing God at what He says, God does not count my slip into sin against me, and has wiped it away, as if it never happened. Because, I repented and confessed that slip, by loving Him to be obedient, not out of compulsion, but by love, then, I am Perfect, Blameless  and Holy and have been credited as keeping the whole law. (John 14:15; I John 1:5-10; I John 3:4-7.) Hence, I am Perfect here on earth  (Matthew 5:48;) and therefore,

Because I am now restored to fellowship with my Creator from the fall of Grace, the power of God’s Grace is restored also. I am walking in God’s light and. (Philippians 4:13; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)

II Corinthians 12:9,

And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

In order, to receive, God’s Grace, His power, we must walk in the light of truth. Unconfessed sin is darkness. God is light and in Him there is no darkness. We must repent, that is, change from our thinking to His, and love Him by trusting and believing Him to be obedient to His commands. For He created us, not we ourselves. The True Church is the remnant who are restored to fellowship by practicing righteousness here on Earth, where Grace flows to produce God’s eternal fruit, His works, which He prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Colossians 3:1-2;

 If then you have been raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, (The New Jerusalem, The True Church) where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.:2; Set your mind (Repent) on the things that are above,(The New Jerusalem, the True Church) not on the things that are upon the earth. (The False Church, the Earthly Jerusalem)

Love is a requirement for membership in the True Church of New Jerusalem.

LOVE IS OBEDIENCE (II John :6)

TO SEPARATE From the False Church

Revelation 12 is a picture of the True Church. Revelation 14 pictures both the True and False Church. Revelation 17 and 18 thru 19:2 is a picture of the False Church. (NOTE: Revelation 14;17;18;19:2)
