THEN
Israel's first millennium, the third millennium. This Greek conjunction can also be translated "and."
A GREAT SIGN APPEARED IN HEAVEN: A WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN,
Israel's second millennium, the fourth millennium, at the end of which a great sign appeared in heaven, a figure for Israel: a woman, Israel, was clothed (her spiritual nakedness was covered) with the sun, a figure for Jesus.
WITH THE MOON UNDER HER FEET,
Israel's third millennium, the fifth millennium, during which the moon, a figure for the Holy Spirit, as embodied in the Church, was under the feet of (persecuted by) the Jews, at least in the first 3 centuries.
AND ON HER HEAD WAS A CROWN OF TWELVE STARS.
Israel's fourth millennium, the sixth millennium, at the end of which, Israel's head, who is Jesus, is crowned with saved Christian Jews, the 12 stars.
[AND]
The third millennium. The Greek conjunction is in the text.
SHE WAS PREGNANT AND WAS CRYING OUT IN LABOR PAINS AS SHE STRUGGLED TO GIVE BIRTH.
The fourth millennium, at the end of which, Israel was metaphorically pregnant and crying out, struggling to give spiritual birth at the crucifixion of Jesus.
THEN ANOTHER SIGN APPEARED IN HEAVEN:
The fifth millennium, at the beginning of which, another sign appeared in heaven, Israel: probably the gift of the Holy Spirit but it could also be that Israel came under God's judgment from the Romans for her rejection of Jesus as her Messiah.
A HUGE RED DRAGON THAT HAD SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS, AND ON ITS HEADS WERE SEVEN CROWNS. HIS TAIL SWEPT AWAY A THIRD OF THE STARS OF HEAVEN AND HURLED THEM TO THE EARTH.
The sixth millennium, at the end of which, in 1903 or 1910, a huge red dragon, Satan, was released from hell. During the Holocaust, through Hitler, he swept away a third of the stars, the Jews, killing 6 million of 18 million worldwide. 7 years before the end of the sixth millennium, in 2023, the Jewish Antichrist will take down 3 leaders of the 10-nation Russian Federation. He will literally be possessed by Satan soon after that.
AND
Israel's first millennium.
THE DRAGON STOOD BEFORE THE WOMAN WHO WAS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, SO THAT WHEN SHE BORE HER CHILD HE MIGHT DEVOUR IT. SO THE WOMAN GAVE BIRTH TO A SON, A MALE CHILD, WHO IS GOING TO RULE
Israel's second millennium, at the end of which, through Herod, Satan tried to kill Messiah Jesus. Jesus began to rule at His crucifixion.
ALL THE NATIONS
Israel's third millennium, during which Jesus began to rule in all the nations, through saved Gentiles.
WITH AN IRON ROD;
Israel's fourth millennium, at the end of which, Messiah Jesus will rule or judge with an iron rod. His just wrath will come.
BUT
The third millennium. The Greek conjunction can also be translated "and."
HER CHILD WAS TAKEN UP TO GOD AND TO HIS THRONE.
The fourth millennium, at the very end of which, Jesus ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
THEN THE WOMAN FLED
The fifth millennium, at the beginning of which, from 66-70 A.D., the woman Israel fled from the Romans.
INTO THE WILDERNESS WHERE A PLACE HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR HER BY GOD, SO THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF HER THERE FOR ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS.
The sixth millennium, at the very end of which, in the last 3 1/2 years, Christian Jews will flee into the wilderness and be protected by God.
THEN
Israel's first millennium. This Greek conjunction can also be translated "and."
WAR BROKE OUT IN HEAVEN, MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT AGAINST THE DRAGON. THE DRAGON AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT BACK, BUT HE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH,
Israel's second millennium, at the end of which, spirtual war broke out in heaven, a figure for Israel, between the archangel Michael and his angels, which can also be a figure for saved Jews, and Satan and his angels, which can also be a figure for unsaved Jews. The latter were not strong enough to defeat God's plan.
AND NO LONGER WAS A PLACE FOUND FOR THEM IN HEAVEN.
Israel's third millennium, after the beginning of which, after 70 A.D., no longer was a place found for the angels, a figure for the Jews, in heaven, a figure for Israel.
AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS THROWN DOWN, THAT ANCIENT SERPENT, WHO IS CALLED THE DEVIL AND SATAN, THE DECEIVER OF THE WHOLE WORLD--HE WAS THROWN DOWN TO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE THROWN DOWN WITH HIM.
Israel's fourth millennium, at the end of which, in 1903 or 1910, Satan and the demons are released from hell. They appear in heaven, but are cast down to earth.
THEN
Israel's first millennium. The Greek conjunction can also be translated "and."
I HEARD A LOUD VOICE IN HEAVEN SAYING, "JUST NOW HAVE COME THE SALVATION AND THE POWER AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND THE AUTHORITY OF HIS CHRIST,
Israel's second millennium, at the very end of which, at Jesus' crucifixion, came the kingdom of God and the rule of Christ.
BECAUSE
Israel's third millennium, covered by this conjunction.
THE ACCUSER OF OUR BROTHERS HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN,
Israel's fourth millennium, at the very end of which, Satan will be thrown down from heaven to the earth.
THE ONE WHO ACCUSES THEM
The third millennium, during which, Satan accused the elect before God.
DAY
The fourth millennium, referred to as "day" because Jesus the "sun" and "light of the world" appeared. Satan continued to accuse the elect before God.
AND NIGHT
The fifth millennium, referred to as "night" because Jesus the "sun" was gone and the Holy Spirit, the "moon," appeared. Satan continued, at least until 70 A.D., to accuse the elect before God.
BEFORE OUR GOD.
The sixth millennium, during which Satan continued to accuse the elect before God.
[AND]
Israel's first millennium. The Greek conjunction is in the text.
THEY OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB
Israel's second millennium, at the very end of which, the elect overcame Satan by the blood of Jesus Christ.
AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY,
Israel's third millennium, during which the elect overcame Satan by their testimony for Christ.
AND THEY DID NOT LOVE THEIR LIVES EVEN TO DEATH.
Israel's fourth millennium, during which there have been many martyrs and there will be during the time of the Jewish Antichrist and False Prophet too.
THEREFORE,
The third millennium.
REJOICE, O HEAVENS AND ALL WHO DWELL IN THEM!
The fourth millennium, at the end of which, heaven, a figure for Israel, and all who dwelt in her could rejoice over their salvation through Messiah Jesus.
BUT WOE TO YOU, O EARTH
The fifth millennium, at the beginning of which, earth, another figure for Israel, was judged by God for her rejection of Messiah Jesus.
AND SEA, FOR THE DEVIL HAS COME DOWN TO YOU HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS ONLY A SHORT TIME!" SO WHEN THE DRAGON SAW THAT HE HAD BEEN THROWN DOWN TO THE EARTH, HE PURSUED THE WOMAN WHO HAD GIVEN BIRTH TO THE MALE CHILD. BUT THE WOMAN WAS GIVEN THE TWO WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE SO SHE COULD FLY AWAY INTO THE WILDERNESS TO THE PLACE WHERE SHE WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FOR A TIME, AND TIMES, AND HALF A TIME, SAFE FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE SERPENT. THEN THE SERPENT SPOUTED WATER LIKE A RIVER OUT OF HIS MOUTH AFTER THE WOMAN TO SWEEP HER AWAY BY A FLOOD, BUT THE EARTH CAME TO THE HELP OF THE WOMAN; THE GROUND OPENED UP AND SWALLOWED THE RIVER THAT THE DRAGON HAD SPEWED FROM HIS MOUTH.
The sixth millennium, at the end of which, the sea, a figure for the Gentile nations, also suffers God's judgment by Satan in two world wars, perhaps for two millennia of unbelief. It appears that in the short time that Satan has remaining, 120 years, he is banished from heaven. He pursues Jews during this time, accomplishing the Holocaust. The great eagle, as a creature of the heavens, is a figure for Jews and many fly to Israel in the decades after the Holocaust. In the last 3 1/2 years of the millennium--the time, and times and half a time--Satan, possessing the Jewish Antichrist will pursue Christian Jews into the wilderness. I suspect that the water spouted from Satan's mouth is a figure for the Gentile army, largely Russian, that the Jewish Antichrist will have pursue the Christian Jews. Jesus will literally open the ground to swallow them up, as He did with Korah and his men--Numbers 16:31-33.
SO
Israel's first millennium. This Greek conjunction can also be translated "and."
THE DRAGON BECAME FURIOUS WITH THE WOMAN
Israel's second millennium, at the end of which, Satan is furious with the Jews, God's covenant people, and he tries to kill the Messiah soon after His birth and eventually does at His crucifixion.
AND WENT OFF TO MAKE WAR AGAINST THE REST OF HER CHILDREN, THOSE WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HOLD TO THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
Israel's third millennium, at the beginning of which, up until 70 A.D., Satan continued his war against God's covenant people, now including Gentile Christians as well.
CHAPTER 13
Israel's fourth millennium. See my commentary on this chapter.
