BOOK OF REVELATION 12:1-18 meaning of?
17:1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,
17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication."
17:3 He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication.
17:5 And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
17:6 I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
17:7 The angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
17:8 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.
17:9 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.
17:10 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while.
17:11 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction.
17:12 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour.
17:13 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
17:14 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful."
17:15 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.
17:17 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished.
17:18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth."
I am an artist and I knowreading this passage the woman with the cup in her hand and has seven thornss on top of her head is the statue of libertywell at least it sounds like it and also the collassus of rhodes also sat with seven stars on its head and had one foot on land and water and was shaken to the ground by an earthquake .. could we all be reliving the same dream?? And the seven mountains are the seven industrailized nations of the world. the g7 but with russia as part of g8 pretty weird huh?
The statue of liberty does not hold a cup. It holds a tablet.

It describes Rome and Rome’s destruction a very long time ago. That’s the main theme in Revelation – Jesus’ judgment and destruction of Rome.

It’s imagery depicting the relationship between the Roman Empire and the Jewish leaders at the time, who were allied against the Christians. Like most of the book, a lot of the imagery is borrowed from the book of Daniel, and that which the author made up himself is explained to clarify his message.

It’s not the statue of liberty. It’s ancient Jerusalem. Herod made an allegience with Rome, hence he attempted to "ride the beast". The beast later turned and devoured Jerusalem. The "peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages" were the Jewish diaspora. It’s the writer’s description of the destrction of Jerusalem by the Romans. The "Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come" gives the time. There had been five men to claim the title of Caesar but they had already died. It was in the time of the reign of the sixth Caesar. Check Roman history.

The passage is an allusion to ancient Rome, which early Pauline Christians referred to as the Whore of Babylon. The Roman govt. had zero tolerance for religious cults that they thought were antisocial or "terrorist" and would round them up and torture and kill them. Christians may not have done it, but they were blamed for a fire that destroyed Rome in 64 CE, when Nero was the emperor. Nero was particularly brutal in trying to rid Rome of Christians and thus was considered to be the antichrist spoken of in Revelation by early Christians. References to 7 angels or the number 7 often relate to "archonic" rulerships–that is, energies associated with the 7 classical planets. Other references to numbers refer to dynasties or tribes, etc. It is not about a prediction of things to come; it is about something that happened 2000 years ago. You can read what you want into it. In art criticism, this is called "presentism"–interpreting or critiquing things based on current standards rather than in context of the time and place in which something was created for its own audience.
In Christian lore, the first time the world was supposed to end was in 70 CE when the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed (based on doctrine in the Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation). It didn’t happen. Over the centuries, dates have been picked out–based on interpretaitions of Revelation–announcing the end. Now it is some time in 2011 or 2012 or on and on.

People will love to tell you it is Rome. But it is not Rome but the next level of Rome. Where did the people in the great USA come from? Most came from Europe which was the extent of the Roman empire. The USA is not alone on this beast. Google "Giant 7" or G7 and see what you get. The beast has 7 heads and if you google one of the 2 I just listed you will find the 7 countries that make up this mysterous beast and guess where they all came from….Europe. The modern day Rome. Does that make sense to you. If it does and you want to learn more email me.
It has gotten complicated to google those so go to this link for list of 7 giant industrialized nations

The USA is going to be nuked, laid waist.
Russia is Gog and Magog, from out of the North.

read Ezekiel 38 and 39
this is mid tribulation a 7 year tribulation.
also Daniel 7: 8-28
also Daniel 9: 24 – 27
Israel is now in their 62nd yr from the going forth of becoming a nation.
Something to consider, because the believer will be gone before Iran can hit Israel, Israel will strike first.
