Revelation 6:9-11
Revelation 6:9: “And when he” [Christ] “had opened the fifth seal,” [See Revelation 5:5, 7] “I” [John] “saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:” See Revelation 12:11 and Revelation 20:4.
Revelation 6:10: “And they" [The souls under the altar] "cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
The Fifth Seal
Revelation 6:11: “And white robes were given unto every one of them;" [See Revelation 3:5] "and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren," [The rest of the 144,000] "that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” The killing of the Two Witnesses is the fulfillment of the aforementioned fellowservants and brethren, see Daniel 7:21, Revelation 11:7 and 2 Esdras 2:40-47.
The vision of The Fifth Seal represents the time period of The Great Tribulation.

Revelation 12:1-17
VISION OF THE WOMAN, CHILD, AND DRAGON
Revelation 12:1: “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Wisdom (the Spirit of God/Spirit of Truth, see Wisdom of Solomon 7:22, 25-29 and Ecclesiasticus 24:1-10).
Revelation 12:2: “And she” [The Woman (in heaven)] “being with child" [Christ (in heaven)] "cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.” See Romans 10:6 and Galatians 4:4.
Revelation 12:3: “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.”
Revelation 12:4: “And his" [The great red dragon's] "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.” See Genesis 3:15 and Matthew 2:1-21.
Revelation 12:5: “And she" [The Woman (in heaven)] "brought forth a man child,” [Jesus Christ, see John 1:29-33 and Matthew 3:13-17] “who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.” See Acts 1:10-11, Luke 22:69, Romans 6:9 and 1 John 3:8.
Revelation 12:6: “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” (The Great Tribulation), see Micah 4:10 and Ecclesiasticus 15:1-6.
The Woman (the Spirit of God/Truth [Wisdom]): that great wonder in heaven was sent from God, to the earth, to bring “forth a man child,” (Jesus Christ, the Son of God; the firstborn to receive eternal life, see Romans 8:29). After Christ was born of her, “caught up unto God, and to his throne,” she (The Woman) fled to her place prepared of God in order to give birth (the Spirit of God/Truth) to the children of God after they are raised up in the last day, see John 6:39-40 and Daniel 12:2-3. It should be noted, that Christ’s brethren, the 144,000/the Saints of the Most High will be born (fed) of The Woman first, see 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, then after them, the rest of God’s children, see Revelation 20:5.
The Birth of The Woman’s Seed (Children of the Kingdom)
John 3:3: “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” See Revelation 21:1-8.
John 3:4: “Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
John 3:5: “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water” [See John 4:10, 13-14, 1 Corinthians 12:1, 8-13, 1 Corinthians 13:9-10, 12 and John 6:39-40] “and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” See Revelation 12:1, Luke 3:21-22, Luke 4:1, John 3:34 and John 14:10-11, 15-17, 20-21, 23.
Isaiah 66:5-9:
Isaiah 66:5: “Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word;” [The followers/teachers of Christ] “Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified:” [See John 9:1-41] “but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.” See Isaiah 65:8-19.
Isaiah 66:7: “Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.” (Jesus Christ, see Matthew 3:13-17)
Isaiah 66:8: “Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed," [See Mark 8:31] "she brought forth her children.” (See John 12:23-36 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-28)
Isaiah 66:9: “Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.” (See Isaiah 61:9-11 and Isaiah 62:1-12)
SATAN CAST OUT OF HEAVEN
Revelation 12:7: “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels” [The righteous angels] “fought against the dragon;” [Satan] “and the dragon fought and his angels," The wicked angels, see Daniel 12:1.
Revelation 12:8: “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” See Luke 10:18.
Revelation 12:9: “And the great dragon was cast out,” [Of heaven] “that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
THE LOUD VOICE IN HEAVEN
Revelation 12:10: “And I" [John] "heard" [At the time when Satan and his angels were cast out of heaven] "a loud voice saying in heaven, now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser” [Satan] “of our brethren is cast down,” [Into the earth] “which accused them before our God day and night.” See John 6:39 and John 17:6-12.
Revelation 12:11: “And they” [The brethren/Servants of God raised up again] “overcame him” [Satan] “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;" [The Spirit from God] "and they loved not their lives unto the death.” See Matthew 10:17-22.
Revelation 12:12: “Therefore” [Because Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven] “rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them." [The righteous angels] "Woe” [Affliction, suffering, misery etc.] “to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
After Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven, into the earth, he will give power to the Beast with seven heads and ten horns, the BEAST whose deadly wound was healed, and the False Prophet, see Revelation 13:1-8, 11-16.
Christ will return on the Day of the LORD to judge the nations, see Matthew 24:29-31, Revelation 19:11, 15, 20-21 and Matthew 25:31. The following scriptures pertains to the dragon’s short time, see Revelation 20:1-3, 7-10.
THE WOMAN PERSECUTRED
Revelation 12:13: “And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth," [See verses 7-9] "he” [Satan] “persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.” See Revelation 13:1-8.
Revelation 12:14: “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she" [The woman] "might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time,” [3 ½ Years] “from the face of the serpent.” See Revelation 11:3-4.
Revelation 12:15: “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he" [The serpent/Satan] "might cause her: [The woman] "to be carried away” [Destroyed] “of the flood.” See Revelation 13:11-17.
After Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven,
into the earth, he will give power to the
BEAST whose deadly wound was healed,
and the False Prophet (Kings of
Babylon), see
Revelation 19:20. They will
persecute (kill) Christ’s brethren (144,000) who
died in him, and who speak the words of God. This time period
is known as the Great Tribulation, see
Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 12:1.
During the Great Tribulation, the Most High will
give power to his Two Witnesses, see
Revelation 11:3-6, and they will prophesy 3
½ years (time, and times, and dividing of time;
a thousand two hundred and threescore days; forty
and two months, see
Daniel 7:25, Revelation 11:3 and Revelation 13:5).
Matthew 24:22: “And except
those days” [A thousand two hundred and threescore
days/forty and two months] “should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's
sake those days shall be shortened.”
Revelation 12:16: “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.” See Revelation 20:1-3.
Revelation 12:17: “And the dragon was wroth with the woman," [See Genesis 3:15] "and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” See Revelation 20:7-10.

Revelation 13:5-18
THE BEAST WHOSE DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED
Revelation 13:5: “And there was given unto him" [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] "a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.” The forty and two months or 3 ½ years, is the time period of The Great Tribulation.
Revelation 13:6: “And he” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] “opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.”
Revelation 13:7: “And it was given unto him” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed] “to make war with the saints," [The 144,000/Servants of God] "and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
Revelation 13:8: “And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,” [The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed, see verse 12] “whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
The Most High has a book, which is called the
Book of Life. Whosoever sins against the Most High,
he blots or erases their names out of his book,
see
Exodus 32:31-33.
John 6:44:
“No man can come to me," [Jesus Christ]
"except the Father which hath sent
me draw him: and I will raise him
up at the last day.”
John 14:6:
“Jesus saith unto him,” [Thomas] “I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.”
The followers of Christ will be written in the Lamb’s
Book of Life, see
Matthew 10:32-33, Revelation 3:5 and Revelation
21:27.
Revelation 13:9: “If any man have an ear,” [The understanding] “let him hear.”
Revelation 13:10: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword." [See Jeremiah 30:16] "Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” See Mark 8:34-35, John 12:24-26 and 1 Peter 2:20-25.
THE FALSE PROPHET
Revelation 13:11: “And I" [John] "beheld another beast” [The Eighth Contrary Feather, see 2 Esdras 12:29-30] “coming up out of the earth;" [See Daniel 7:24] "and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
Revelation 13:12: “And he” [The Eighth Contrary Feather (also known as The Little Horn)] “exerciseth all the power of the first BEAST before him,” [See Revelation 13:5-7 and Daniel 7:25] “and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first BEAST, whose deadly wound was healed.”
Revelation 13:13: “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,”
Revelation 13:14: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the BEAST; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the BEAST, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”
The beast that had two horns like a lamb (The Eighth Contrary Feather/The Little Horn) is also known as The False Prophet. The BEAST whose deadly wound was healed and The False Prophet shall be cast into the lake of fire by Christ, see Revelation 19:19-20.
Revelation 13:15: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the BEAST, that the image of the BEAST should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the BEAST should be killed.” See Revelation 20:4.
Revelation 13:16: “And he” [The Eight Contrary Feather/The Little Horn/False Prophet] “causeth all," [Those not written in the Book of Life (the children of Satan)] "both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:”
Revelation 13:17: “And that no man might buy or sell, save he” [The worshippers of the BEAST] “that had the mark, or the name of the BEAST, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:18: “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the BEAST: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
