WAR BETWEEN THE WOMAN & DRAGON
REVELATION 12 – 14
This Vision parallels in time, the above visions with the exception
that this vision begins with the birth of Jesus rather than
His ascension.
It further gives an overview of spiritual warfare that pre-dates
human history.
In Chapter 12:5 Satan is the Dragon of verse 3 who
seeks to destroy the incarnate Jesus.
The woman fled into the desert.
