¹ And there appeared a great wonder in heauen, a woman clothed with the Sunne, & the Moone vnder her feete, and vpon her head a Crowne of twelue starres:

² And shee being with childe, cried, trauailing in birth, and pained to be deliuered.

³ And there appeared another wonder in heauen, and behold a great red dragon, hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes, and seuen crownes vpon his heads.

⁴ And his taile drew the third part of the starres of heauen, and did cast them to the earth: And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be deliuered, for to deuoure her childe as soone as it was borne.

⁵ And shee brought foorth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of yron: and her child was caught vp vnto God, and to his Throne.

⁶ And the woman fled into the wildernesse, where shee hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand, two hundred, and threescore dayes.

⁷ And there was warre in heauen, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, & the dragon fought and his angels,

⁸ And preuailed not, neither was their place found any more in heauen.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the deuill and Satan, which deceiueth the whole world: hee was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰ And I heard a lowd voyce saying in heauen, Now is come saluation, and strength, and the kingdome 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.

¹¹ And they ouercame him by the blood of the Lambe, and by the word of their Testimony, and they loued not their liues vnto the death.

¹² Therefore reioyce, yee heauens, and yee that dwell in them; Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the deuill is come downe vnto you, hauing great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast vnto the earth, hee persecuted the woman which brought foorth the man childe.

¹⁴ And to the woman were giuen two wings of a great Eagle, that shee might flee into the wildernesse into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halfe 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 bee caried away of the flood.

¹⁶ And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed vp the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

¹⁷ And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make warre with the remnant of her seed, which keepe the Commaundements of God, and haue the testimony of Iesus Christ.

I had trouble finding an explination for the third part of the stars of heaven, being cast into the earth.Finally out not down. Thanks for the understanding that you have given me.

Thanks and the God of all wisdom bless you.

The woman in this chapter is Israel which gave birth to the child, Jesus Christ and she is persecuted by Satan.

Williette West's Revelation Chapter 12 comment about verse 1 on 4/26/2013, 11:19am...

My insight about Revelation12:1; The body of Christ the church, (a woman clothed with the sun) as Christ Jesus leading the church reigning over them. The moon represent the devil under the Christ Jesus and church feet. Twelve stars are the twelve Apostle/Bishop also known as twelve trees for healing of the nation, which are over the Sheep of his pasture, to guide teach, and water the people of the church and body of Christ Jesus.

This chapter is about the early Christians and their sacrifices, the deception that the Roman Catholic did in the past and in the present. This pertains to Martin Luther when he opened the bible to the world. But Christianity is once again in the wilderness. For how long? I don't know.

The third part of the stars are the fallen angels that the dragon that followed Satan or the devil, who in verses 3, 4 and 9; wanted to take the place of God and were cast out of heaven. The woman is the church (Jeremiah 6:2-3:14, 2 Corinthians 11:2).

So true!

The woman of Revelation 12 is a real woman.

Insight 777's Revelation Chapter 12 comment on 1/01/2013, 10:56am...

Was the 3rd part of the stars in heaven cast down to the earth when Jesus was born? To my knowledge, no, that did not happen. The dragon did not stand in the manger and devour Jesus at his birth. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” This verse proves that chapter 12 is written for Christians not Israel. Jews do not acknowledge the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation is a sealed book pertaining only to the events of World War 3. No one in the past could understand its meaning because knowledge of current events is necessary to know what is being revealed. I believe the woman is Christianity that is persecuted and condemned during WW3 and wants to give birth to a "child" that means Christian freedom to worship God. Verse 3 is describing a War battlefront, the Middle East war. "And they loved not their lives unto the death" describes brave men and women that fight to defend the Christian religion. "The 3rd part of the stars in heaven" ... stars are symbolic for missiles. The rod of iron is a nuclear missile that defeats the enemy of Christ and frees the world to be able to worship God once again.
