Revelation 12,
War in Heaven
War in Heaven
Revelation 12, War in Heaven??
Yes, the place in Revelation 12 is the Heaven.
A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: ...... (Rev 12:1)
What happened?
Revelation 12 reveals the true identities of the betrayers, the destroyers, and the savior when they are all in one place called heaven(Rev 13:6).
It also announces the appearance of God's kingdom and salvation.
The woman clothed with the sun, moon and stars leads the group of the betrayers.
The destroyers are dragon with its seven heads and ten horns.
The savior is the male child who will rule all nations.
Revelation 12 talks about a great sign that appears in heaven.
This heaven is the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands (Revelation 13:6).
The woman clothed with the sun, moon and stars is the pastor (Gn 37:9-11) of the tabernacle of the seven golden lampstands.
She represents Spiritual Israel. We can see that the dragon and its seven heads and ten horns represent Satan and his destroyers because they forcefully enter the tabernacle of heaven.
The dragon is standing before the woman who will give birth to a son so he can devour her child.
As soon as he is born, however, the son is lifted to God's throne and the woman flees into the wilderness to avoid persecution from the dragon.
Afterward, there is a physical and spiritual war in the physical and spiritual kingdoms of heaven between god's army and the dragon's army.
The child and his brothers overcame the dragon by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
(※ The mystery of the last trumpet in Rev 10:7 was the child in chapter 12 ☞ him who overcomes fought the group of the dragon by the blood of Jesus and the word of testimony and overcame them.)
The dragon is thrown from the tabernacle of heaven down to earth. It is at this point that God's kingdom, authority, salvation and power have come.
※ In chapter 10, the New John (promised pastor in Revelation) received the scroll the angel gave and testified what the angel commanded.
In chapter 11, he experienced hardships and even spiritual death and saw how the kingdom of the world became the kingdom of God at the sound of the last and the seventh trumpet.
In chapter 13, he saw the group of the dragon enter the tabernacle and give mark on the foreheads and the right hands of the congregation members and saw how the congregation members of the tabernacle were destroyed.
In chapter 12, we (the child born form the woman clothed with the sun and his brothers who are the people of Shincheonji) fought the group of the dragon with their lives on the line and tabernacle of heaven and starting then came God's kingdom and salvation described in Rev 7 (Rev 12:10-11).
