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:

Rev. 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 head. Rev. 12:4 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. Rev. 12:5 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. Rev. 12:6 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.

This next drawing/painting says it all. It could be a witnessing tool. Mostly I quote Revelation 12 in this work, but I Added John 3:16. Then I "added before I formed you the belly, I knew you" and " he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world"(do you now see how important you are to God!) and it says that you will sit in the throne of God, again IN THE THRONE OF GOD! Do not think about suicide or abortion after you see this in the Bible! You are truly like GOLD to God, you are HIS TREASURE! And he says Rejoice! How can you rejoice when the devil came to torture you. Remember count it all joy

Rev. 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, Rev. 12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.Rev. 12:9 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. 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

This has been thought about by me for many years. Everyone has a chance to accept Christ Jesus up until the instant of death. This is my drawing of this. The top drawing is the people entering heaven. The whorl of happiness is there. The middle picture is about those who are about to enter heaven. Everyone is helping others to get there. An individual decision, but a group effort. The bottom picture is more about the struggle. Death is imminent, but some are just not accepting the Lord. Christians are reaching out to them as a last effort to make them realize to accept the Lord. In my drawing, everyone makes that decision as the ones that are falling have someone to reach out and bring them in. The Bible verses that supports this is below the three pictures that make what I call my vertical trilogy drawing.

A few close-ups while I also give verses from Revelation.
|
Revelation 12:10
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.
|
Revelation 12:11
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.
|
Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and the sea! because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
|
for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
|
Heed the warning, for most people don't have a chance to accept Christ at death. It is a risky thing to wait until the end. In my drawing there is a happy ending for everyone I drew, but that won't be true for many people. The Bible says that today is the day of your salvation. If you have not accepted Him, then let this be your day that the angels rejoice in heaven for you. Let me lead you now. Repeat this: Dear Lord Jesus, I accept you as God's Son and my way to be with God in heaven because you died on the cross for my sins. Therefore forgive my sins, because I surrender to you.

Revelation 12:13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. Revelation 12:14 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.

This is the "Body of Christ". The forgiven ones who accepted Christ as their Savior. Jesus is born and the Devil did not get Him and he grew and grew and walked the walk to lead you to Heaven. How did you get there? You got there "by other believer's testimony or by those that testified in the New Testament and all throughout the Bible and of course with and only with "His (JESUS) Blood That He Shed On The Cross". And don't forget with your words that said, "forgive me of my sins my dearest Heavenly Father."
Revelation 12 is truly about the "Body of Christ".
Proof: Rev.12: 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which kept the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Now is the time for Revelation 13: 1-10 and then 11-18, and the ever so famous 666. I think of that song "you better shape up, o-o-o" This is truly the doom of the book of Revelation. Many people think that they would never eat of the tree of good (God) and evil (devil) the way that Adam and Eve did. Hind sight is always easy to say! Now mortal man is put to the test --to eat or not to eat, no, to receive or not to receive. Think of those days that you are weak and you are faced with a fast decision. God help us all! Get right with the savior, yes SAVIOR, our Jesus. Life is hard enough to navigate, but woe unto us! Get strong with the Lord so you can be strong! Say Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and Savior and forgive my sins and help me to get strong to face the days ahead.

Revelation 13:1 And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out ot 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.
3 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.
4 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?
5 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.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foudation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
