The exact amount of days. 1260 I guess she didn't want to take the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think israel leaves with the woman. The name Israel is a name given to someone who has overcome as Christ has overcome. Gen 32:28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” I'm more inclined to believe her seed who remains is the true Israel. Rev 12:17 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. In the testimony of Jesus christ, we find his followers are told to not leave Israel but to preach the gospel throughout israel till he comes. Mat 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. Mathew 10:23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes. Rev 2:36 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— I don't see anyone who could earn the name Israel fleeing into the wilderness. No, I believe the followers of Christ remain in the land of Israel and preach the gospel till Christ comes. Or untill they are killed like Christ said some of them will be.

Her story being a sequel to Eve seems to imply she has a direct connection to Eve and the Garden of Eden. Maybe she is Eve giving birth to Israel who later returns to bring the Eden story to a point of closure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would have returned before the lord comes. Edited November 4, 2022 by Shilohsfoal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also love the idea of, "the remnant". From her came the Messiah King! I want to add some details for consideration. When Michael is referred to in this chapter, it harkens back to the prophecy in Daniel. The 1260 days exactly the number of the two witnesses. "The blood of the lamb" is a phrase only found written exactly like this twice-in Revelation. The other one is ch. 7 about the great multitude. The woman is persecuted. I am considering this will reach its height in the "west bank" as a scenario plays out showing her representing the often lamented, "daughter of my people"/"daughter of Zion". A new state of Palestine will be created and she will not be welcome there. It is my belief that the two witnesses will arrive at this time. The "two wings", a reference to God's power, will be a miraculous deliverance in the manner of Philip with the Ethiopian. I would consider the escape to be orchestrated by the two witnesses at night with a great mist that will keep the enemies from finding them and when it lifts they will be in the place prepared for them. Later, toward the end, they and others will flee to Bozrah/Petra thereby further and perhaps unwittingly acting out the Shepherd in the desert with His flock that He fights for.
