The Woman fleas into the Wilderness

Revelation 12:6 (below) reveals exactly how long Jesus, Mary and Joseph where in Egypt. Jesus (who would BECOME the chief corner stone – Eph.2:20), Mary and Joseph where the first of the church of God (1 Cor.10:32). The woman (Re.12:6 below) represents the church.

Revelation chapter 12 speaks of the persecution of the church. The first half of the chapter references the persecution of the early church – Jesus, Mary and Joseph. The last half of the chapter references the persecution of the church after the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17).

Mary, blessed among women (Lk.1:48), gave birth to God (John 1:1-3, 14, Re.1:6), the Lamb, her Savior (Lk.1:47), as He is to all who come to Him, throughout all ages.

The stone which the builders refused (Ps.118:22), would become “the head stone of the corner” of the church, Jesus’ living body. Therefore, Mary would become the mother of the church (1 Cor.10:32), Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Eph.2:20).

The partial blindness of Israel will be lifted at the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12-17). From that day and forward (Eze.39:22) the house of Israel will know that Jesus is the Messiah.

A portion (the 144,000) of the woman (the church) will flea again, after the 1335 days (Dan.12:12) prior to the ascension. The 144,000 will flea from the tribulation. The 144,000 will be protected. They are the remnant who are alive and remain (1 Thess.4:17) and are those seen in the city giving glory to God just prior to the ascension (Re.11:13).

The rest of the woman’s seed (the church) will face the tribulation (Re.12:17).


Re.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed here there a thousand two hundred and threescore days (1260 days/three and one half years).

Re.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 (1260 days/three and one half years), from the face of the Serpent (Re.12:9).
