And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver What better way to deceive the Church built with hands than to quote right from the Bible. (This is exactly what Satan did when he tempted Jesus in the wilderness, However, Jesus knew the rest of the story, the whole Truth.)

of the whole world; (Thinking, which kept us from the Truth by half truths.)

is gone down to you, (With Satanic thinking, bringing the war of, fighting the fight of faith, whom to believe, down to us. The choice is ours.)

having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time. (Only 1260 days, which is 42 months and also: Time, times and a half of time; which is, 3 ½ years.  Of course this is really all time since Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection, or two thousand years, but who’s counting?) (NOTE: Revelation 8:1; 9:15; 10:4; 11:2,3; 12:14; 16:8.)

Revelation 12:13

12:14

But the two wings (Power to lift us higher, Spiritually. Psalms 91:4; He will cover you with his pinions, And under His wings you may seek refuge:) of the great eagle,

Isaiah 40:31;

Yet, they that wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; (Power of Grace) they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, (In the Spirit, in the Light) and not faint.

This is by Practicing Righteousness (Jesus His truth is a shield and a buckler) 

were given (Made available) to the woman (The mind, will and emotions, the soul) that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, (A Place of learning how to make Godly choices; A place of testing) where she is nourished (Fed Spiritually) for a time, and times, and half a time, (1260 days, is 42 months and also: Time, times and a half of time; which is, 3 ½ years. These are all the same period of time. The time of the two witnesses, the Latter Day Rain, the time since the first Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection) This is our learning place, the wilderness where we are lead by God. This is where we are formed in our mother’s womb to become and revealed as the SONS OF GOD.  (NOTE: Revelation 8:1; 9:15; 10:4; 11:2,3; 12:14; 16:8.)

Romans 8:29;

For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

Galatians 4:19;

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

from the face of the serpent. When we look into a mirror we will no longer see the face resembling that of our father, Satan, (John 8:44;) the father of lies. But, if we are practicing righteousness, as He is Righteous, we will see the face of Jesus, The Truth.

John 8:38, read thru,-47; I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.

We have been waiting for the Lord by FAITH ever since the Midst of the week in Daniel 9:27; when the righteous must live by faith, still believing though we did not see His return on May 13^th 2001; Road Sign and Signposts (The date, where the book of Daniel first directs us.) we wait, enduring until the end, believing His Word from the Book of Daniel, until we are instructed in Revelation 10:11; to “prophesy again.” As with wings of the great Eagle, when are taken higher spiritually. This is at the end of the 1260 days when the Sons of God are revealed and the end of the Latter Day Rain, after that, the Tribulation period and the end of the Age and the beginning of the Millennium Reign with Jesus’ return.

In Exodus 19:4;

You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself. God was bringing man out of Egypt. Now, we see God bringing Egypt (The world) out of man.

Revelation 12:15

12:15

And the serpent poured water (Words, either good or evil.) Ephesians 5:26 …Washing of the water with the word.  out of his mouth (Satanic thoughts) like a river (Symbol of the flow of thoughts, either good or evil, but in this case they are evil) after the woman (The elect church, The chosen, the remnant. [The soul: You’re thoughts, Your Mind, will and emotions.];)

that he might cause her to be swept away by the flood. (Satan’s counterfeit of God’s flood is a flood of lies)

Isaiah 59:19;

So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Matthew 24:39;

And they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Isaiah 28:15-18;

Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death,(Carnal thinking, Romans 8:6;)  and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing flood shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves :16,Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believes shall not make haste.:17; And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the level; and the hail (Exposes lies) shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.:18; And your covenant with death will be canceled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing flood shall pass through, then you become its trampling place.

Revelation 12:16

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

12:16

And the earth (Psalms 24:1; The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains; The world, and they that dwell in it.) helped the woman, (Psalms 44:24-26;)

Romans 8:28;

 And we know that to them that love God (The Chosen, II John :6) all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called (The Church,) according to His purpose.

and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river, (Symbol of the flow of thoughts, either good or evil, but in this case evil) The Earth helped the woman as when the Red sea divided. Exodus 14:21;

which the dragon cast out of his mouth. (Words of the father of lies)

Revelation 12:17

And the dragon charged the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of Jesus:

12:17

So the dragon charged (Pursued with great force) the woman, (The soul: You’re thoughts, Your Mind, will and emotions. The true Church, the Chosen) and went away (Once the pursuit was accomplished, he then proceeded) to make war (To cause them to choose between the Truth and the lie; fighting the fight of faith.) with the rest (The Chosen Remnant) of her (Sarah, by promise, we are children of the freewoman, the Jerusalem from above, she is our Mother. Galatians 4:22-31) seed, (Children, Seed of Abraham; Galatians3:16; The seed of the Word Tree, Jesus.) that keep the commandments of God (Those who Practice Righteousness)

This is God’s way of thinking and He is trying to teach those who want the truth, how to rely on Him to be PERFECT, while here, our stay on earth. If by practicing righteousness, He does not count, the repented and confessed sins, that our flesh has slipped into, then we have kept the whole law, (The commandments of God) We are PERFECT, by faith, right here on earth. Being ambassador of Christ, representing our people as one man by repenting and confessing our neighbor’s sin as our own, The Lord then  brings us into Philadelphia, Brotherly Love. The only way we can keep His commandments is to Love Him, to walk in His Grace, to Practice Righteousness. John 14:15 and II John :6.  and hold the testimony (Witness of the Word confirmed by the Works) of Jesus.
