Shalom!
^ The seventy year-weeks’ prophesy of the Book of Daniel and its last chapter help us understand Revelation 12.
Prayer of them who are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit (Eph. 2:22), Bert
¤ Through His Son and those who believe in His Son, God has desired to call every person on earth to love in the same way, as He has loved mankind. Over the past two thousand years, many have been saved while at the same time they have been ready to sacrifice their life for the preaching of this Gospel (Mat. 28:18-20).
In addition we hear that in closed countries for example by dreams the Lord Jesus revealed Himself (John 5:17).
¤ In heaven, together with Christ, they/we will reign in the soon starting millennial sabbat kingdom (Rev. 19-20).
After that, we will live forever with our God in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21-22).
¤ But our Love Relationship needs to be in order. The apostle John sharply described the core of the challenge, 1John 4:20, <If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.>
In addition, God has His own hierarchy of values. To whom much has been given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).

¤ Verse Rev. 12:4a and 4b will be discussed later (9i§89₁156).
Next, I continue with the text of Rev. 12:5 (cf. 3a§12).
¤ The people of the land of Israel gave birth to a Son, the Lord Jesus, Who after His service was taken to heaven. But the majority of the Jews rejected the Messiah who was promised to them. That's why God turned away from His people and its seventy year-weeks’ clock stopped. It will last until the Lord Jesus takes away His temporary Bride-church of all nations (Rm. 11:25b-26).
At that moment God will turn back to His former chosen people and it will enjoy God's covenant and grace as before (Rm. 11:23), Rev. 12:6, <And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.>
¤ It had previously been found, that the statement ‘Time and times and half a time’ should be seen as a whole (3e§12, Rev. 12:14).
After that there would be left only half a time of a year-week, 3½ years, 1260/1290/1335 days {3e§12, Dan. 12:(11-) 12 (-13)}.

¤ The Invitation of the Gospel has been proclaimed to you, to me, and to every human child, regardless of nation, race, sex, status, age, etc. (Mat. 28:18-20).
Each of us must have been ready to seek and follow God’s Will, as the Lord Jesus had chosen It for His own life. In this way He had completely defeated the dragon, taken the sting out of its accusations, and redeemed all mankind (Heb. 10:7-10; and 3a§12, Rev. 12:7-10, 11)!
¤ In the same way, every believer can cast the dragon/Satan down (Luke 10:17-20)!
Until Jesus takes His Gentile Bride up into heaven (3c§12, Rev. 12:10-12a).
