Revelation 12:1 And 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:
Appeared In Heaven- This Is The Rapture Of Bible Obeying Christians Into Heaven And Starts The Great Tribulation (Matthew 25:1-12; Matthew 24:40-41; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17; 1 Corinthians 15:50-51).
The Sun (Son-East Star-Day Star-Sunrising) symbolizes Jesus Christ. Jesus Is The "Sun" Of Righteousness- (Malachi 4:1-4; 2 Peter 1:19; Mark 16:2; Matthew 2:2).
Stars- Symbolize All Those Who God Promised To Give His Kingdom (Genesis 15:5-10).
Crowns-The Kings Of Heaven (Matthew 27:29; 1 Corinthians 9:25; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; James 1:12; 1 Peter 5:4).
Moon- The Bible "Moon" Symbolizes The Law The Father God (YAHWEH) Gave To Israel (Colossians 2:14-17; Romans 10:4; Joel 2:1-10).
Woman-God's "Wife"-Mother Heaven-The Bride (Church) Of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:23-33; Revelation 21:1-5; Galatians 4:24-26).
Feet-These Are The "Priests" Of God (John 13:4-10). These "Priests" Are The "Feet (Steps, Footstool)" Of God. God Will Use These "Feet" To "Get His Glory" During The Great Tribulation (Time of Trouble, Time Of Distress, Time Of The Gentiles, Jacob's Trouble, Hour Of Test, Temptation) (Isaiah 66:1; Daniel 11:43; Daniel 12:1).
The "Appearance" Of Revelation 12:1 Is The Rapture "Appearing" Of Believing Christians And Israelis Before Jesus In Heaven. This Begins The Great Tribulation Where God Allows The Feet Of The AntiChrist Beast (Dragon-'Man Of Sin') To "Crush (WinePress)" Disobedient (UnBelieving) Christians And Israelis During The "Time Of The Gentiles (Great Tribulation, Time Of Trouble) (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17; 1 John 3:2; Daniel 12:1-5; Revelation 13:1-18; Revelation 14:1-20; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17; Luke 21:20-36).
Jesus The Sun Light Represents God's Grace. Only God's Grace Leads To Eternal Life In Heaven. The Opposite Of Grace Is "Salvation" Through The Works Of Obeying The Laws Of Moses (Priests). "Works" Lead Only To Darkness (Night) And Death (Genesis 1:1-5; John 1:1-18; Exodus 20:1-21; Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1).
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Cried-The Trumpet Voice Of God Which Will Sound During Rapture (Matthew 24:29-34; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).
Travailing And Pain-The Torment Of The Great Tribulation Upon Disobedient Christians And Israelis. Jesus Will Abandon (Forsake) Them During This Time (Matthew 23:37-39; Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:13-29; Matthew 25:1-13; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5; John 16:18-33).
Delivered- This Is The End When Jesus "Comes Again" After The Great Tribulation To Save (Deliver) All Repent Believers On Planet Earth (John 16:18-33; Revelation 19:1-21).
Revelation 12:3 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.
Seven-God's Sabbath. The Entrance Into God's Presence (Sabbath Rest) Which Is Paradise (Luke 23:43-46; Hebrews 3:1-18; Hebrews 4:1-11).
Red-The Blood Of Jesus Christ Which Is Salvation And Deliverance Onto God's Dry Land (Heaven) (Exodus 14:1-31-Remember Pharaoh, Israel And The "Red Sea" Of God's Great Deliverance).
Dragon-Satan Is The Egyptian Pharaoh Beast Dragon Of The Great River (Sea) (Ezekiel 29:3). Be Sure To Study Pharaoh Akhenaten (And View His Pictures). This Is How You Will Know That Earth's Time Is Very Short (Revelation 13:1-5).

Third-The Bible Number Three Symbolizes God Resurrecting Or Regenerating (Refreshing) Himself (Matthew 19:28; Exodus 31:17; Titus 3:5; Mark 9:31). The "Third" Symbolizes All Believers Whom God Will "Save" After The Great Dragon's Tribulation.
Cast-This Is A Bible Word Which Means Regenerating Or Regeneration (Matthew 19:28; Titus 3:5; Psalm 104:1-5; Deuteronomy 4:24; John 3:14; Exodus 7:9-12).
