My Sheep Hear My Voice-Rev. 12:4

My Sheep Hear My Voice-Rev. 12:4

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation Chapter 12

The Dragon, War in Heaven, and the Remnant

The Dragon

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 12:4

third part of... Symbolic of the third of God’s angels that rebelled with Lucifer and showing how many will be with him in the future war in heaven under the 7th trumpet (Rev. 12:4, 12:7-12). Satan’s original rebellion (compare Isa. 14:12; Ezek. 28:11), resulted in one-third of the angelic host joining his insurrection and becoming demons. When John tells us that the devils' tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to earth, he is describing the original demonic uprising against God.

Satan somehow managed to convince a third of all God's angels to join him in his rebellion; these beings we now call "demons" or "fallen angels." They serve Satan and play an important role in the judgments of the Tribulation.

stood before the... This is the dragon’s first purpose—to destroy the man-child as soon as it is born. He fails in this because God takes the man-child to heaven (Rev. 12:5). We see here also, the woman about to birth, and this is the birth of the remnant of God's chosen people.

The casting down of a third of the stars out of the sky seemed to imply satanic power which extended to the heavens and the earth. Satan was seen here to extend his power over those who opposed him spiritually or politically. The dragon’s attempt to devour the newborn Child (Rev. 12:4) seemed to point to Satan’s attempts to destroy the remnant. Satanic opposition to Israel and especially to the messianic line is clear in both Testaments.

The word “dragon” is used thirteen times and only in Revelation. It is a symbol of Satan, the chief adversary of God, Rev. 12:9. This is the first time he is mentioned in Revelation. We must distinguish between the symbol and the thing symbolized, as in all other symbols. The “great red dragon” is a fitting symbol of Satan in his role as the relentless persecutor and murderer of multitudes of unfortunate people, Jhn. 8:44. In Job 41 and Isa. 27:1 he is portrayed as “leviathan, the piercing serpent . . . That crooked serpent . . . the dragon that is in the sea.”
