Remainder of Rev 12 (timeframe 4) is post

the rapture. She is now fleeing for her life as
she experiences the great 3 ½ year Christian
Tribulation period

A review of the players in Rev 12 introduced in

We studied Rev 121-5 in timeframe 3.
Rev 121-5 And there appeared a great wonder in
heaven a woman clothed with the sun, the moon
under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars2 And she being with child cried,
travailing in birth, and pained to be
delivered.3 And there appeared another wonder in
heaven and behold a great red dragon, having
seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon
his heads.4 And his tail drew the third part of
the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the
earth and the dragon stood before the woman
which was ready to be delivered, for to devour
her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she
brought forth a manchild, who was to rule all
nations with a rod of iron and her child was
caught up unto God, and to his throne.

Click for review of Rev 121-5
We identified the sun-clothed woman as the
professing Church and the Manchild within her
womb as the true church. We interpreted vs 3 -
the dragon with 7 crowned heads and 10 horns as
Satan who has rule over 7 world Empires
(Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian,
Grecian, Roman,and the 7th crowned head with 10
horns as Antichrists Empire). The rapture takes
place during the reign of Antichrist and this is
pictured in vs 5 the woman giving birth to the
Manchild (true Church) who was caught up
(raptured) to Gods throne. Again, you can review
timeframe 3 and rapture for full understanding of
these verses.
5
After the Manchild (true Church) is caught up
(raptured) to Gods throne in Rev 125, what
happens to the woman and dragon?.
Rev 125-9 And she brought forth a manchild,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron
and her child was caught up unto God, and to his
throne. 6 And 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. 7 there was war
in heaven Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon and the dragon fought and his
angels,8 And prevailed not neither was their
place found any more in heaven.9 And the great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.

Rev 125
Rev 126
Rev 127-9
Immediately after the birth of the manchild
(rapture of the true Church - Rev 125 above) and
even before Satan and his angels are cast down to
earth (Rev 129), the woman (professing church)
is fleeing (Rev 126). The church left behind
know they missed the rapture and know from
scriptures they heard that they are going to face
great tribulation. They heard the Word of God and
had the opportunity to be saved and to be caught
up in the rapture and be a part of the manchild
company (the true church (Rev 125)). Instead,
they played church when all the prophetic signs
were fulfilled to let them know different.
7
Rev 126 And 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.
Now their in hiding because they cannot meet
in their local church and homes anymore .
Television, radio, internet will all be monitored
for any evidence for those belonging to the
Church. The world has become a wilderness
experience - the Church left behind is on the
run, she is fleeing into hiding and underground
as best as she can. Jesus talked about the
tribulation days and love of many shall wax cold.
Those that turn to Christ after the rapture will
be betrayed, offended, hated by all nations,
afflicted, and killed (Matt 249-12).
Matt 249-129 Then shall they deliver you up to
be afflicted, and shall kill you and ye shall be
hated of all nations for my name's sake.
8
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall
betray one another, and shall hate one
another.11 And many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many.12 And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Rev 126 And 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 tribulation experience in the wilderness
was prepared of God that is God knowing
everything beforehand is fulfilling that which He
pre-ordained and prophesized.The woman (Church
left behind) manages to survive for 3 1/2 years.
She survives that long because during this same
time Christ opens up the 6 seals in heaven that
result in the Church left behind being fed the
Word of God (Rev 126) which is preached from
heaven by the raptured saints.

In Rev 4 we are introduced to the raptured
church in heaven divided into groups of numerous
saints symbolized by the 24 elders, the 4 Living
ones. In Rev 5 Christ takes the 7 sealed book
from the Father. In Rev 6 Christ opens the first
6 seals. Rev 6 also introduces us to another
group of saints symbolized by the 4 horsemen.
When we get to heaven after the rapture we will

horsemen but we will see and experience exactly
what John is telling us will happen. The full
meaning of what John saw can only be interpreted
by the rules and wisdom God has already given us
throughout His Holy Word which are consistent no
matter where or when they are applied.
Rev 6 tells the story of how the raptured
Christians in their resurrected bodies as the new
powers of the air with Christ exercise these
mighty changes and position to great advantage
over Satan and his fallen angels. Satan and his
angels are now on the earth and now no longer the
dark powers of the air. The first six seals of
the book are opened in heaven during the Great 3
1/2 year Christian Tribulation that is going on
earth. During this same time there is great
activity in heaven as the raptured Christians (4
horsemen) carry out their orders given to them by
the 4 Living ones (Christian administrators) who
in turn receive their orders from Christ
12
as He opens the seals. The action of the 4
horsemen carrying out their orders and the forces
of nature seemingly out of control (yet God knows
exactly what He is doing) greatly hinders the
persecution of Antichrist on those after the
rapture on earth that become Christians. The
result of the 6 seals produces a mighty number of
tribulation martyrs and saints to be in the first
resurrection and end the church age.
13
The first 6 seals opened during the 3 1/2
Christian tribulation period is still a time of
grace mixed with judgment. One of the living ones
(one of the raptured Christians from the group
symbolized by the 4 living ones) told John to
come and see - that is come and watch what
happens when the seals are opened.

Rev 1210 And I heard a loud voice saying in
heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and
the kingdom of our God, and the power of his
Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, which accused them before our God day and
night". 
John the revelator hears a loud voice in
heaven because this is where the resurrected and
raptured saints are . The loud voice said that
now has come salvation, strength, and the kingdom
of God and the power of his Christ for Satan who
has accused the saints of wrongdoing day and
night is now cast down to earth. Salvation has
come meaning that full salvation
17
of the body, soul, and spirit has now taken
place. This was the apostle Paul's prayer for the
saints at the Lord's coming (1 Thessalonians
523).
1 Thess 52323 And the very God of peace
sanctify you wholly and I pray God your whole
spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless
unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Strength has come because now their is a
mighty army in heaven with the Lord.   Their
bodies that were mortal and sown in weakness have
now been raised and changed to immortal,
incorruptible, and full of strength (1
Corinthians 1542-44).
1 Cor 1542-4442 So also is the resurrection of
the dead. It is sown in corruption it is raised
in incorruption43 It is sown in dishonor it is
raised in glory it is sown in weakness it is
raised in power44 It is sown a natural body it
is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body.
18
The kingdom of God has come because the saints
are now ruling in the heavenlies. Satan's kingdom
has been toppled because Satan. his
principalities, thrones,. Powers, are cast down
to earth.  Ephesians 612 tells us these are the
ones that Christians wrestled with in high
places.
Eph 612 For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.
After the rapture the reverse is true. Now the
Church is in high places and Satan and his angels
have to wrestle against the Church in heaven. The
power of Christ has come because Satan who had
deceived the whole world with his power, lying
signs and wonders now has to contend with a
Christ who has just raised the dead and raptured
the living, and cast him and his angels down to
earth. From now on the whole earth is going to
see God's mighty power literally shake the
heaven's and the earth (Hebrews 1226).
Heb 1226 Whose voice then shook the earth but
now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I
shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Rev 1211 And they overcame him by the blood of
the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony and
they loved not their lives unto the death.
The saints in heaven overcame Satan - that
accused them day and night. Some overcame him by
the blood of the lamb, others by what they said
out of their mouth - their testimony - and others
by giving their life for eternal life with
Christ. Remember, there are many saints that are
resurrected that were martyred for their faith
going all the way back to early Roman Empire
including New Testament apostles and prophets as
well as the Old Testament saints and prophets.
Rev 1212 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye
that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitors of the
earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down
unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.
All that dwell in heaven are told to rejoice
because heaven is a place of rejoicing.  This
same voice in heaven now pronounces woe to all
the inhabitants on earth and in the sea. This is
because the devil and his angels have lost their
heavenly positions and have been cast down to the
earth. They have great wrath because they know
their time is short.
21
Christ and the Saints are to return to earth soon
and Satan's long rule of sin and terror is coming
to a bitter end.  Satan and his angels will then
be cast into hell and the bottomless pit.
Rev 1213-1713 And when the dragon saw that he
was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman
which brought forth the man child.14 And 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.15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman, that he might
cause her to be carried away of the flood.16 And
the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened
her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the
dragon cast out of his mouth.17 And 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.
22
Rev 1213 And when the dragon saw that he was
cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman
which brought forth the man child.
When the dragon (Satan) saw that he and his
angels was cast down to earth by Michael and his
angels he persecutes the woman (church left
behind) that gave birth to the true church
Manchild who was raptured up to Gods throne (Rev
125). We covered Rev 126 that the woman (church
left behind) has been fleeing already but now we
are told the actual persecution by Satan has
begun. Again, Satan is very angry about losing
his vantage point in the heavens which he
23
and his fallen angels ruled from ever since the
time of Adam and Eve.  Satan is also very angry
in his failed attempt to prevent the birth of the
manchild (rapture of the true church (Rev121-5).
The raptured saints have now taken over his
heavenly territory that he and his angels once
ruled. They are now the new powers of the air
with Christ.
24
Rev 1214 And 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. 15 And the serpent
cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away
of the flood.16 And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up
the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
First the woman is fleeing (Rev 126) into the
wilderness, then Satan and his angels are cast
down to earth (Rev 12 7-12). Now the woman is
helped by being given two wings of a great eagle
and nourished (fed) for a period of times, time,
and a half a time which equals 3 1/2 years (vs 14
- time is a Jewish term for 1 year). The two
wings of a great eagle to make her fly is the
great outpouring of God's Holy Spirit after
25
the rapture that comes upon the tribulation
saints - that is - the ones that turn to Christ
after the rapture and now facing the wrath of
Satan.
Deut 3211As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings12
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no
strange god with him.
Isa 4031But they that wait upon the LORD shall
renew their strength they shall mount up with
wings as eagles they shall run, and not be
weary and they shall walk, and not faint.
Just like the manchild (true church) was in
the womb of the woman (Rev 121-5) before the
rapture took place, so now after the rapture
there is a remnant within the professing church
left behind that turn to Christ. They know they
were the foolish virgins (see rapture) but now
many will be willing to give their life for
Christ. There is tremendous revival. Peter in
Acts 2 quoting the prophet Joel 228-32 applies
his words
26
to the last days and the great outpouring of the
Holy Spirit in the time of the Christian
tribulation and what signs they would see.
Acts 217-2117 And it shall come to pass in the
last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men shall dream
dreams18 And on my servants and on my
handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my
Spirit and they shall prophesy19 And I will
shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the
earth beneath blood, and fire, and vapor of
smoke20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and
notable day of the Lord come21 And it shall
come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord shall be saved.
Notice Peter like Joel puts all these signs
before the notable Day of the Lord - timeframe 5
(vs 20) . Jesus talked of the effects of the
outpouring of the Holy Sprit on the tribulation
saints (Luke 2112-19). They would be able to
stand before
27
kings and nations and God will give them boldness
and what words to speak
Luke 2112-1912 But before all these, they shall
lay their hands on you, and persecute you,
delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
prisons, being brought before kings and rulers
for my name's sake.13 And it shall turn to you
for a testimony.14 Settle it therefore in your
hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall
answer15 For I will give you a mouth and
wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist.16 And ye shall be
betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinsfolks, and friends and some of you shall
they cause to be put to death.17 And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake.18 But there
shall not an hair of your head perish.19 In your
patience possess ye your souls.
28
We read (Rev 126) the woman is fed for 1,260
days, and in Rev 1214 we read nourished for
times, time, and half time.
Rev 126 And 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.
Rev 1214 And 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.
Daniel 725 gives the time of the Christian
tribulation also as times, time, and a half time.
Likewise
Daniel 725 and they shall be given into his hand
until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Rev 135 saying 42 months the saints will be
given over to be persecuted by Antichrist. All of
these time verses say the same length of time -
the great Christian tribulation immediately after
the rapture is 3 1/2 years.
29
Rev 135-7 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies and power
was given unto him to continue forty and two
months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And
it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them and power was given
him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
In Rev 125 we studied that the manchild
(true church) was caught up to God's throne at
the rapture. Both Rev 126 and Rev 1214 told us
that 'they' shall feed and nourish the
30
Rev 126 And 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.
Rev 1214 And 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.
woman to keep her alive for 3 1/2 years.  The
'they' as we saw in study of Rev 126 is the
manchild company - the Christians that were
caught up to meet Christ in the air and now have
resurrected bodies (Rev 125, rapture). The
church in heaven after the rapture has taken over
Satan's former territory in the heavenlies and
the church in heaven now has the advantage. While
Satan on earth will not let the gospel be
preached in churches, tent revivals, radio, TV or
the internet, he will not be able to stop the
immortal resurrected Christians preaching the
gospel from heaven during the tribulation period
(first seal of Rev 6)
31
Rev 1215 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman, that he might
cause her to be carried away of the flood.16 And
the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened
her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the
dragon cast out of his mouth.
32
Rev 1215 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman, that he might
cause her to be carried away of the flood.16 And
the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened
her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the
dragon cast out of his mouth.
Satan cast out a flood of persecution that
would seemingly drown the woman (church left
behind) and kill her but the earth helped the
woman and swallowed the flood. The earth helped
the woman because of great geological changes
taking place besides the world wars, famines,
pestilences, earthquakes. These all hinder
Antichrist in his relentless persecution of the
woman. During the Christian tribulation period
many events are happening in heaven and on earth.
In heaven where Christ and the raptured saints
are the first 6 seals of Revelations are opened
during the 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation
period. These can be found in Rev 6 and affect
the whole world.
33
While the 6 seals of Rev 6 are being opened
during the 3 ½ year Christian Tribulation Period
the words of Jesus spoken in Matt 24 and Luke 21
concerning the same Christian tribulationperiod
will be fulfilled
34
The result of these 6 seals is worldwide
preaching of the gospel from heaven, divine
control of wars, famines, pestilence, great
earthquakes in many places and finally the 6th
seal where the sun is darkened and the moon
becomes as blood (Acts 219-21). The signs of the
sixth seal are the same signs Peter quoted on the
day of Pentecost that would precede the terrible
Day of the Lord.
Acts 219-2119 And I will shew wonders in heaven
above, and signs in the earth beneath blood, and
fire, and vapor of smoke
35
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, before that great and notable
day of the Lord come21 And it shall come to
pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be saved. Jesus also groups all
these same events and signs as part of the
tribulation period including the persecution of
the tribulation Christians matching the fifth
seal while the gospel is being preached
throughout the whole world matching the first
seal.
36
Matt 147-14 For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom and there
shall be famines, and pestilence's, and
earthquakes, in diver's places.8 All these are
the beginning of sorrows.9 Then shall they
deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill
you and ye shall be hated of all nations for my
name's sake.10 And then shall many be offended,
and shall betray one another, and shall hate one
another.11 And many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many.12 And because iniquity
shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
37
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved.14 And this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations and then shall the end
come. 
38
  With all these events happening on the earth
during this 3 1/2 year tribulation period Satan
is hindered somewhat in his fierce persecution.
In other words, the results of the 6 seals and
nature seemingly out of control help to swallow
up the flood of persecution that Satan pours out
on the tribulation church left behind (Rev 126).
The church manages to stay alive for 3 1/2 years
and out of her will come a great number of
tribulation martyrs from every tongue, nation,
kindred and tribe. They get resurrected at the
end of the 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation
period as part of the first resurrection and they
complete the church in heaven. When Jesus says
'and then the end shall come' Jesus means the end
of the Church age.
39
Rev 1217 And the dragon was wroth with the
woman, and went to make war with the remnant o
her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and
have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
  Here again is a confirmation that Satan is
after the remnant within the woman (professing
church left behind) that turn to Christ during
the great 3 1/2 year Christian tribulation. This
remnant is the seed that will repent and be saved
after the rapture that will keep the commandments
of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 12 ends Rev 13 tells us about the
Beast/False Prophet
40
Beast his mark False prophet during the Great 3
1/2 yr Christian tribulation
41
Rev 131,2 And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.2 And the beast which I saw was like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of
a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion and
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
Immediately after the rapture Antichrist dies
a sinister death and comes back to life as Satan
in the flesh (Daniel 8).  A death sentence by
Antichrist (the beast) and the false prophet
(religious pope over Satan's worldwide religion
located in Babylon) is pronounced worldwide upon
all Christians saved after the rapture and upon
them that refuse the mark of the beast. In the
study of  Rev 12 the dragon (Satan) was in the
heavenlies before the birth of the manchild (the
rapture of the true church). Immediately after
the rapture, Satan and his angels are cast down
to earth (Rev 127,8,12,). Rev 13 now continues
with events immediately after the rapture but
notice now the dragon (Satan) of Rev 12 has now 
resurfaced on the earth as the Beast (Rev 131)
by incarnating the dead Antichrist and bringing
him back to life.
42
Rev 131,2 And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of
blasphemy.2 And the beast which I saw was like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of
a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion and
the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
great authority.
Rev 13 now calls Antichrist - who is also now
Satan in the flesh - 'the beast'. Rev 13 tells us
how this is accomplished.
43
lt Dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns before the
rapture-Rev 12. Then cast down to earth
Beast with 7 heads and 10 horns after the
rapture-Rev 13 gt
Scripture has given us a double witness of
Antichrist's dominion over all the land area of
these former world empires in the last days as
seen in these composite images above. In
Revelations 132 we see a composite image of a
beast made up of the four beasts of Daniel 7
which tells the same truths as the image of
Daniel 2. These images tell us that the land
44
area of the former world empires of the
Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and Roman empires
would all be under Antichrist's control. Today,
that would be modern Iraq, Iran, Greece, Eastern
and Western Europe including parts of Russia west
of the Ural mountains and land between the
Caspian and Black Seas (see Gog and Magog). When
one man rules over all this territory the symbol
of the composite beast in Revelations 132 and
the person Antichrist are considered one and the
same. This is why Revelations calls Antichrist -
the beast. Another example of this double type
symbolism is when Daniel told King Nebuchadnezzar
in Daniel 2 that in his dream he is the head of
gold and later said the head of gold symbolizes
his empire. Comparing these 2 composite images we
have a double witness of Antichrist' s empire of
the last days and the land territory it will
cover.
45
Rev 133 And I saw one of his heads as it were
wounded to death and his deadly wound was
healed and all the world wondered after the
beast.
In Rev 173-11 the angel explained to John the
meaning of the beast with 7 heads and 10 horns
Rev 173-113 So he carried me away in the spirit
into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet colored beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet
color, and decked with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full
of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.6 And I
saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Jesus and when I saw her, I wondered with great
admiration.7 And the angel said unto me,
Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
46
carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten
horns.8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is
not and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition and they that dwell on the
earth shall wonder, whose names were not written
in the book of life from the foundation of the
world, when they behold the beast that was, and
is not, and yet is.9 And here is the mind which
hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains,
on which the woman sitteth.10 And there are
seven kings five are fallen, and one is, and the
other is not yet come and when he cometh, he
must continue a short space.11 And the beast
that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and
is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
The angel also describes the religious system
that is headed by the false prophet of Rev 1311
as the mother of harlots (she gave birth to many
false religious systems) and abominations
(idols-idolatry). Her name is called 'Mystery
Babylon'. A woman prophetically speaking is a
religious system and this woman in every way is
opposite of the sun-clothed woman of Rev 12. This
woman is Satan's church and has been in existence
since the time of Nimrod and the tower
47
of Babel (Gen 115-9)
Gen 115-95 And the LORD came down to see the
city and the tower, which the children of men
builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people
is one, and they have all one language and this
they begin to do and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to
do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound
their language, that they may not understand one
another's speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth and they left off to build the city. 9
Therefore is the name of it called Babel because
the LORD did there confound the language of all
the earth and from thence did the LORD scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
48
When God looked down in the days of Nimrod
they were of one language and one purpose - to
make a name for themselves and have one world,
one religion, without God. When God caused them
to leave off their building program by having
them speak in many languages they spread out
taking their false religion and language with
them. This is why Babylon of Nimrod's day was the
Mother of harlot and idolatrous religious systems
found all over the world that have so much in
common. She gave birth to them and her offspring
went into the whole world. Satan always had a
religious throne since the time of Babel. That is
why this woman sits upon the dragon that has 7
heads.  In Rev 12 we identified the 7 heads as
the 7 world empires Satan will have ruled over
since the time of Abraham that included the area
of the promised land. They were the Egyptian,
Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman,
and the 7th being  Antichrist's. During
Antichrist's reign when the rapture takes place
Antichrist dies a mysterious death and Satan
having been cast down at the rapture enters into
him and brings him back to life. In doing so, he
not only has taken over Antichrist's body and
empire, but Antichrist is also now Satan
incarnated in the flesh as said earlier.
Antichrist after
49
the rapture has this dual nature and personality
- both Satan and man. Jesus who was both God and
man (mystery of Godliness) is now contrasted with
Antichrist after the rapture whom Revelations 13
now calls 'the beast' (mystery of iniquity). This
is what is meant in Rev 1711 when the angel
tells John the 8th head of the beast is of the
7th. This is fulfilled when Satan takes over
Antichrist's body and empire which had been the
7th head before the rapture but now after the
rapture is the 8th and yet a continuation of the
7th. In Daniel 8 Daniel talks of Antichrist after
the rapture as both Antichrist the man and Satan
incarnate. In Daniel 11 we studied Antichrist as
a 'raiser of taxes (verse 20) before the rapture
and then becoming 'the vile person' (verse 21)
after the rapture when he becomes also Satan
incarnate .
Dan 1120 that Antichrist death will be neither
in anger, nor in battle.
Antichrist dies a mysterious death but it is
not an act of anger or warfare. This truth is the
same as Rev 133 where one of the heads is
wounded unto death and then his deadly wound was
healed. This would be the 7th head -that is -
Antichrist who has been ruling for a time before
the rapture,
50
(see also Rev 12) now dies this mysterious death.
Revelations 1314 say this wound was by a sword
(weapon). I personally believe Antichrist will
commit suicide willfully because of a pact he
made with Satan some time before the rapture.
Satan has given Antichrist great power,
authority, fame, wealth when he established his
empire before the rapture in (timeframe 1). In
turn, Antichrist who now owes Satan, gives Satan
his body and his eartly political throne. That
time comes immediately after the rapture when
Satan finds himself cast down to earth and needs
Antichrist's body and earthly visible throne (See
Rev 126-12). The beast (Satan incarnate in
Antichrist's body) now makes plans to deceive the
whole world and to get as many nations behind him
to try and prevent the visible return of Christ
but is defeated (kingdom)
51
Rev 134 And they worshipped the dragon which
gave power unto the beast and they worshipped
the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him?
Now we are told the whole world worships both
the dragon (Satan) and the beast (Antichrist).
This is because as we saw from scriptures
previously Antichrist comes back to life after
the rapture being both Satan and the person of
Antichrist that he was before the rapture. Rev 13
calls Antichrist the beast - because the beast
symbolizes the extent of the land area of his the
empire just like the beasts of Daniel 7. This
incarnation of Antichrist through a Satanic
resurrection of Antichrist is right after God
just raised all the dead in Christ and caught
them up with the living saved Christians to meet
Christ in the air (1 Thess 416 - see rapture,
Rev 12). Another set of scriptures that show this
dual role of Antichrist after the rapture is
found in Ezekiel 28 (see Daniel 8 for additional
scriptures of Antichrist as Satan incarnate after
the rapture.
52
Rev 135-7 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies and power
was given unto him to continue forty and two
months.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7 And
it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them and power was given
him over all kindred's, and tongues, and nations.
In our study of Daniel 78-11 (see Daniel 7
page 5) we saw in Daniel 78 that Antichrist
before the rapture when he came to power had a
mouth speaking great things. Daniel 79,10 then
covered the events of the rapture when Satan's
angels were cast down. Daniel 711 then continues
about Antichrist after the rapture and calls
Antichrist 'the beast'. Daniel 711 goes on to
say the beast is still speaking great words until
he is destroyed.  Notice in Rev 137 above,
power was given to the beast for 42 months (3 1/2
years). Most likely this is the United Nations in
whatever form it has at this time for power is
given him over all kindred's, tongues and nations
(Rev 136). We read in Daniel 725, 26

Daniel 725,2625 And he shall speak great words

times and laws and they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and the dividing of
time.26 But the judgment shall sit, and they
shall take away his dominion, to consume and to
destroy it unto the end.
Daniel 72526 confirms Rev 135-7 concerning
Antichrist that he speaks great words against the
most High and wears (persecutes) out the saints
of the most High and they will be given (by the
U.N.?) into his hand for time (1 year) times (2
years) half time (1/2 year) which adds up to 3
1/2 years (121/2). This is the same time as the
42 months (3 1/2 years) of Rev 135. Daniel 721
says the horn (Antichrist) makes war against the
saints and prevails against them.
Daniel 721 I beheld, and the same horn made war
with the saints, and prevailed against them22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was
given to the saints of the most High and the
time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
55
In the study of Revelations 12 we see that after
the woman (professing church) gives birth to the
manchild (rapture of the true church - Rev 125)
the woman (professing church) is left behind to
go into great tribulation. Rev 126 say their
tribulation experience will last 1,260 days while
Rev 1214 says time, times, and a half a time
which again both add up to 3 1/2 years.
Revelations 125-65 And 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.6 And 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.
Rev 1213,14 13 And when the dragon saw that he
was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman
which brought forth the man child.14 And 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.
56
Rev 135-7 And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies and power
was given unto him to continue forty and two
months.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7 And
it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them and power was given
him over all kindred's, and tongues, and nations.
Note - The beast in Rev 135,6 is speaking great
words against God and then persecutes the saints
for 42 months (3 1/2 years).  Daniel 725, Rev
126,14 agrees exactly with 3 1/2 years. Without
a doubt the Christian tribulation follows right
after the rapture and lasts 3 1/2 years.   In
the study of the 6 seals being opened in heaven
during the tribulation period we see that the
raptured Christians preaching the gospel in their
resurrected bodies and flying over the whole
earth resulted in tremendous revival as God pours
out His Holy Spirit (1st seal opened). Remember,
the dead and living were caught up in the rapture
and their is pandemonium on the earth. People in
cars, planes, buses, businesses, homes have
disappeared leaving only their

just like Jesus when He was resurrected, left
behind His garments (Luke 2412).
Luke 241212 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the
sepulchre and stooping down, he beheld the linen
clothes laid by themselves, and departed,
wondering in himself at that which was come to
pass.
Imagine the pandemonium and confusion that is
taking place because of the rapture itself. There
will be massive stealing of credit cards and
money left behind. The banking system cannot
determine who the real identity of millions of

accounts belong to because the real owners have
been raptured and now thiefs are posing with
their identities. Antichrist who has died and
come back to life as the beast (Satan incarnate)
is now cursing the Christian's God in heaven and
those preaching from heaven (Rev 136). The beast
is given power (by the U.N.?) to deal with this
worldwide crises for 3 1/2 years. Antichrist
turns to his religious leader of the worlds
religious system of Babylon - the False Prophet
and gives him all his authority to deal with the
crisis with the full support of all nations.

Rev 1311-17 (False Prophet) 11 And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth and he
had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a
dragon.12 And he exerciseth all the power of the
first beast before him, and causeth the earth and
them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed.13 And he
doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come
down from heaven on the earth in the sight of
men,14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the
earth by the means of those miracles which he had
power to do in the sight of the beast saying to
them that dwell on the earth, that they should
make an image to the beast, which had the wound
by a sword, and did live.15 And he had power to
give life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and cause
that as many as would not worship the image of
the beast should be killed.16 And he causeth
all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand,
or in their foreheads17 And that no man might
buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name.
61
The false prophet is symbolized by a beast
coming out of the earth having 2 horns as a lamb
but spoke as a dragon. This beast is the
religious empire or worldwide organized system
Rev 17 calls Mystery Babylon which in the last
days rides the political system of Antichrist for
gain and power (Rev 173). This system portrays
itself as a lamb like figure to the world in the
name of peace and harmony among all racial and
religious divides and yet speaking the very mind
and will of Satan (dragon).
Rev 1733 So he carried me away in the spirit
into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet colored beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 171818 And the woman which thou sawest is
that great city, which reigneth over the kings of
the earth.
Rev 182424 And in her was found the blood of
prophets, and of saints, and of all that were
slain upon the earth.
62
It is the religious system of Antichrist that
will be responsible for the deaths of saved
Christians after the rapture that refuse the mark
of the beast or bow down to this image of
Antichrist that the false prophet has exalted to
a god. To deal with the banking and financial
crises he will use that as a tool that only they
that receive a mark on their hand or forehead
will be identified as part of the beast system.
At the same time God has His raptured servants
speaking from heaven telling them not to receive
the mark (first seal, Rev 146-10) so they do not
experience the full judgment of God to follow.
This full judgment  period is called the Day of
the Lord (chart) and last 7 years and ends with
Christ's return to defeat Antichrist and his
armies and establish the everlasting Kingdom of
God on this earth (Kingdom)
63
Rev 146-106And I saw another angel fly in the
midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and
people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God,
and give glory to him for the hour of his
judgment is come and worship him that made
heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains
of waters. 8 And there followed another angel,
saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great
city, because she made all nations drink of the
wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the
third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the beast and his
image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or
in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine
of the wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
presence of the holy angels, and in the presence
of the Lamb
64
We are told the false prophet tells the whole
world to make an image (idol) to the beast. When
this idol is finished, most likely built in
Babylon at this time, the false prophet has power
(just like the magicians that withstood Moses (Ex
711) to make the image talk and call down fire
from heaven. Remember, Satan and his powerful
angels are now on the earth having been cast down
by Michael and his angels right after the
rapture. These fallen angels have Satanic powers
they use to deceive the masses of people on the
earth that reject God's Word and His mighty signs.
Ex 711 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and
the sorcerers now the magicians of Egypt, they
also did in like manner with their enchantments.
The image speaks and says that whoever does not
worship the beast is to be killed. Meantime, God
has His messengers speaking from heaven over the
whole earth saying not to worship the beast
(first seal). The false prophet also has power to
call fire down from heaven like what Elijah did
in the Old Testament (1Ki 1837).
65
1Kings 1837 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this
people may know that thou art the LORD God, and
that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the
burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones,
and the dust, and licked up the water that was in
the trench. 39 And when all the people saw it,
they fell on their faces and they said, The
LORD, he is the God the LORD, he is the God.
This sign is to deceive many as Antichrist is
seeking to make a 7 year treaty with Israel who
believe that Elijah will appear before the
Messiah based on Mal 45
Malachi 45 Behold, I will send you Elijah the
prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of the LORD 6 And he shall turn
the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their fathers, lest I
come and smite the earth with a curse.
66
Antichrist makes this 7 year treaty (Daniel's
70 week) only to invade Israel about 3 1/2 years
later.  Antichrist then has this idol of himself,
that the false prophet told the world to make,
moved to the Holy Place of the rebuilt temple of
Jerusalem that had been built before the rapture
in timeframe 3. Jesus referred to this idol
standing in the Holy Place as the abomination of
desolation and as a warning to the Jews to flee
when they see it - (Mark 1314).
67
Mark 1314 14 But when ye shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let
him that readeth understand,) then let them that
be in Judaea flee to the mountains
Antichrist invasion of Israel is also his
attempt to make Jerusalem a world capitol and he
himself to be worshipped as God. God does send
the real Elijah before the terrible Day of the
Lord gets around to Israel (see two witnesses).
At the end of Daniel's 70th week which is also
the end of the Day of the Lord (both last 7
years) Christ returns and defeats Antichrist and
his armies (Kingdom Rev 1919-21)
68
Rev 1919-2119 And I saw the beast, and the
kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.20 And the beast was
taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the mark of the
beast, and them that worshipped his image. These
both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning
with brimstone.21 And the remnant were slain
with the sword of him that sat upon the horse,
which sword proceeded out of his mouth and all
the fowls were filled with their flesh.
