Rev 12: John’s apocalyptic vision is brilliant not only because of it’s descriptive factors here in chapter 12 that can be seen as the Mazzaroth but how he used the very truth of the Mazzaroth to relate to the pagan world in a way they would understand. John communicated the truth of the Mazzaroth to the pagans because to them they were familiar with a skewed story that had become tangled in folklore and superstition.
Follow along in this chapter as we unlock the Mazzaroth and discern the season we're in today and separate ourselves out from this skewed pagan world.
Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in the heavens; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, 11 and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 And she being with child cried, labored in birth, and pained to deliver. 3 And there appeared another wonder in the heavens and see a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 13And his tail drew a third part of the stars of the heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon 10 It stood poised before the woman who was ready to deliver, in order to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 15 And she brought forth a male-Child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her Child was caught up to vuvh, and to His throne.
What strikes me is the SEVENS; seven main characters as the radiant woman, the dragon, the man-child, Michael, the seed of the woman, and the two beasts.
3 scenes:
the woman
the dragon
the male child
Satan is cast out of heaven
the persecution of the woman and her offspring
is continuation and expansion of the 1st, the 2nd scene really explains S.a.tan’s violent opposition to the saints – this is the ultimate Crusade or Holy War.
In Greek Mythology the pagan goddess Leto, pursued by the dragon Python, is brought safely to the island of Ortygai where she gives birth to Apollo, who then turns and kills the dragon.
Egyptian mythology, the red dragon Set-Typhon pursues Isis and is later killed by Horus her son.
The Babylonians: Tiamat the seven headed-water monster is overthrown by Marduk, the young god of light.
Druids: the goddess of heaven giving birth to the sun EVERYDAY, and of the dragon of darkness who pursues to devour her.
John shaped in very free fashion all the myths, the basic elements of the traditions and explained them through true God of Heaven – יהוה and His Son Yahusha!
a woman clothed with the sun….
Yes she gives birth to Moshiach but we know this isn’t Mary all though we know this did happen historically, there’s are multi layered application – the pull between celestial and temporal.
This is the community of saints – the true Israel, Zion as the mother of יהוה people:
Isa 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith יהוה.
Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother.
The world hates us as the true Israel, and holds us in lowest regard, but we’re the radiant bride and our radiance exposes the scarlet whore.
Is 26:17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O יהוה.
The red dragon with seven heads – the devil – chaos – Israel’s enemy.
The little horn in Dan 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Historically this infanticide played out with Nebuchadnezzar as he devoured Israel.
Jer 51:34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
And later, King Herod with the massacre of the innocents.
The devil has taken his position and he awaits his victim.
The male child comes forth who’s destined to receive the nations as an inheritance.
Ps. 2:7 I will declare the decree: יהוה hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
From birth to ascension the child is snatched up to יהוה and His throne.
Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah Yahusha 6 Who, being in the form of Elohim, thought it not robbery to be equal with Elohim: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore elohim also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. 10 That at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth 11 And that every tongue should confess that Yahusha ha Moshiach is master of all, to the glory of Elohim the Father.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by vuvh, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred sixty days.
The duration of divine nourishment – 1260 days corresponds to the time of persecution 3 1/2 years of Tribulation.
7 And there was war in the heavens: Micha-El and his heavenly angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought with his heavenly kingdom 8 And the dragon prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in the heavens. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that head serpent, called the Akel Kartza (devil) 5 and also called s.a.tan, who deceives the entire world: he was cast out into the earth, and his heavenly angels were cast out with him.
Aramaic Renewed Covenant is “Akel Kartza” is a Aramaic compound term.
Akel means “to devour,” or “to consume.”
Kartza means “hunch of bread, carping, pulling to pieces, accusation, disparagement, biting words, biting, and current destruction.”
The Akel Kartza uses biting words and accusation to consume and devour and to destroy. He is a slanderous backbiter – that devil of olde!
This is the time of Dan 12:1, Mk 13:19 the darkness before the dawn, the period of Satan’s rage.
Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
1 Tim 3:6 not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in the heavens, Now has come deliverance and strength and the kingdom of our elohim, and the power of His Moshiach: for the Akel Kartza, the accuser of our Yisraelite brothers is cast down, who accused and slandered them before our Elohim day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives even to the death. 6 12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the olam and of the sea!
For s.a.tan has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the Male-Child.
14 And to the woman was 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 by the flood. 16 And the ground helped the woman, and the land opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her zera, 10 that guardthe commands of vuvh, and have the testimony of Yahusha ha Moshiach.
The heavens declare the glory of Yahweh, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Psalms 19:1
The constellation Virgo represents the woman, who is the virgin maiden, giving birth and holding in her hand Spica the branch containing the precious seed of Yahshua.
Today Virgo is clothed in the sun during the entire fall feast days. The Sun moves through her body in the same direction as a woman giving birth.
She’s clothed in the sun every year during the fall feast days and the moon at her feet occurs often.
Virgo is always crowned with the 12 stars in the constellation of Leo plus she has a crown of 12 stars of her own.
Rev 14 confirms for us that Yahusha will come during the time the grapes are ready to be harvested. Grapes are ripe during the Fall Feast days.
Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as a horse’s bridle, for 1,600 stadia.
All this happening in the heavens involve Virgo, Leo, Regulus, Spica, Jupiter and Venus, and they’re the important events that led up to Yahshua’s birth and probably are leading us to Yahshua’s return.
