Genesis 2:16,17,
If you look at Genesis 5:1-2, it can change the perspective, to who exactly the name Adam, is referring to. It's similar to referencing "man or mankind, man made" the difference seems to be clarified more when it says "the woman " Genesis 3, if we look however as Genesis 2, being in chronological order, then the woman arrives Genesis 2:18,19,21,22, after. However Genesis 3:1-3, shows she was very aware of the 'law' 2Corinthians 11:3, 1Timothy 2:13-15,
Genesis 2:23, He 1st named her ' woman ' interestingly Jacob also seems to do the same when GOD changed his name to Israel he continues to be referred to as Jacob, also. Genesis 32:28, Genesis 35:10, Genesis 46:2,5,
It doesn't say their children would be a punishment, Genesis 3:16, pregnancy & childbirth is difficult, painful, with distress. Woman also have hormons that magnify crying 'sorrow'. Explaining the curse also. Why, seems to be explained in Gen. 3. Revelation 12:2, John 16:21,
Genesis 3:7, fig leaves, will decompose & provide no warmth, It's a temporary, hasty, bad choice. Genesis 3:21, compassion, provision, love, mercy, knowledge, wisdom & protection, is why GOD made coats of skin for them. Remember they were no longer allowed in the protected environment of the special garden. Genesis 3:23-24, Ephesians 2:4,
"how, did GOD make skins from animals for them & why" It appears to be the 1st animal sacrifice to cover "mans sins".
Romans 5:14, John 3:15,16, 1Corinthians 15:22, 1Corinthians 15:45, 1Chronicles 1:1, Luke 3,
Proverbs 7, Romans 8, Hebrews 10, Matthew 13,
Hopefully these are all helpful
Hidden gems of Prophetic mystery until Jesus fulfilled many. Luke 24, Luke 24:27, Revelation 12:4-11, Revelation 20,
I recommend reading the Bible & prayer, the movies aren't fully accurate, they seem to focus on the art, not Truth
And man CANNOT understand the TRUTH of GOD'S WORD without being given the KEY TO THE KINGDOM.
That KEY to the KINGDOM is the Holy Ghost, without him revealing the scriptures to you, you cannot understand all the parables, metaphors and other figures of speech used in the scriptures.
THE WOMAN is all flesh, both male and female.
THE WOMAN is Christ church.
THE WOMAN is the virgin.
THE WOMAN is Christ's bride (wife).
Likewise when the word is addressing MAN, it is both male and female.
Genesis 5:2 MALE and FEMALE created he them: and blessed them, and called their (male and female) name ADAM.
These verses in 1 Timothy 2 are parables, metaphors and signified language.
1 Timothy 2:14 And Adam (Christ) was not deceived, but THE WOMAN being deceived was in the transgression.
This is saying Christ's church (Christ wife) is deceived, the same thing John says in Revelation 12:9 ... satan who DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD.
1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she (THE WOMAN, includes both male and female, Christ wife, pregnant with THE WORD) shall BE SAVED in child bearing (being born of the same SEED that it was inpregnated with, THE WORD of God).
Being born again of TRUTH delivers you from being deceived.
Teach and preach all you want, in God's kingdom there is neither male or female, only LIFE and TRUTH.

we are no longer wounded in our soul and spirit because of the
Holy Ghost and Fire (FIRE) who has healed us of whatever rape hound did
to us
We have to hear and we have to listen to the man of sin or women of sin
who has raped other victims in life and ask God to forgive them (YES WE DO )
but we can tell them who they are and where they are going and if we can
we can order the demons to speak and to tell their own soul what they really are inside of them (is this right)
Mark 13:22 "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."
2 Corinthians 11:13-15, "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
God is not tangible, God is life, faith, mercy, truth, counsel, light, understanding, wisdom, ETC.
Satan is not tangible, Satan is the exact opposite of all these things that God is, death, lies, deception, falsehoods, hatred, ETC.
HEAVEN is metaphor for MAN.
Man is born into this earth with no qualities of God, look at this world and you can see that the qualities of Satan abound, and govern man.
Man is either the image of his Father, death, lies, deception, hatred,etc. Or he is the image of his Father, life, truth, love, mercy,etc.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in HEAVEN (in man, in YOU); a woman (Christ's wife, YOU) clothed with the sun (brightness of God) and the moon (God's faithful witness in the heavens, Psalms 89:37) under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
Revelation 12:2 And SHE (Christ wife) being with child (to be delivered into TRUTH, the WORD of God) cried, travailing in birth, (of the WORD), and pained to be delivered.
But look at the next verse.
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven (in man, IN YOU): and behold a great red dragon (lies, deception, hatred, falsehoods, in you) ......
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars (ANGELS, those chosen to be spirit messengers of Christ, Christ wife) of heaven (man, YOU) and did cast them to earth (among all the deception, lies, falsehoods): and the dragon (lies, deceptions, falsehoods) stood before the woman (Christ wife) which was ready to be delivered (INTO TRUTH), to devour her child (YOU the new creation in Christ, the IMAGE OF CHRIST)(with lies and deception and falsehoods) as soon as it (the Child, YOU) was born (as soon as YOU were BORN OF TRUTH through the Holy Ghost coming to you, falsehoods and lies and deception have tried to keep you from being ONE WITH TRUTH, WITH GOD.

John 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery....CHRIST IN YOU.....
Revelation 21:1 and I say a NEW HEAVEN.....CHRIST IN YOU.... for the FIRST HEAVEN had passed away....
Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God then the kingdom of God (CHRIST IN YOU) has come unto you.
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven (in you): Michael and his angels fought against the dragon ....(deception, lies falsehoods)
Revelation 12:8 And (lies, falsehoods and deception) prevailed not; neither was THEIR PLACE found anymore in HEAVEN (in you).
Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying IN HEAVEN (in you), Now is come SALVATION ....
Revelation 12:12 Therefore now rejoice, YE HEAVENS .......
Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord God, doth not he speak in parables.
Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing SEE NOT, and hearing they HEAR NOT, neither do they UNDERSTAND.
Christ came to heal the blind and deaf and cause the lame to walk.

Satan is a created being, what does he look like? Isaiah 14:12-15 morning star, translated Lucifer, the morning star/day star is the planet, Venus, it is brightest just before sunrise, 2 Corinthians 11:14 an angel of light, 1 Peter 5:8 a roaring lion, Revelation 12:3 great red dragon seven heads ten horns and seven crowns. There are many descriptions of Satan, but he is a master of disguise.
The horrific almost cartoonish description of Satan comes from the Middle Ages. If the understanding it is covering Satan, Ezekiel 28:14 says Satan was a covering cherub. There are seraphim we see in Isaiah 6:1-6 and in Revelation 4:6-9 called beasts, and cherubim, is in the bible more times, seraphim six wings, cherubim four wings. The biblical descriptions, I believe if we came face to face with, we would faint from fear.
Satan is not omnipresent; he can only be in one place at a time. There are evil spirits and evil angels he controls on this earth, we see in Daniel, battles that we cannot see, Daniel 10. The devil and his evil spirits can affect our life, and it can be vicious, Ephesians 6:12 but we far too often use that to excuse our own bad choices (the devil made me do it). Galatians 5:17
We also have been told, James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Go on Google
2 Type in the scripture
3 type a comma
4 type what you want= commentary or meaning or history or teaching or Geneology (one at a time)
Generally I choose a link that Google lists in the first 10 links. Wikipedia is through Google. I look at who the links belong to.
You can also search Hebrew or Greek definitions.
Hopefully this is helpful
Revelation is a remarkable book,
ans you will find there is several different views of the book.
These views mostly depends on ones hermeneutics, "the study of the general principles of biblical interpretation." A method of the way we study the Bible, considering when to take it literally, allegorically or symbolic. When studying this book it's probably best to cast away our viewpoints and start afresh.
This book is prophetic and have tons of references out of the old testament. The book of Daniel, Zechariah, Psalms, Isaiah, ect... and many more.
Before I recruit you over to my pre Millennial views I would suggest since you already started in Revelation Ch 1 through ch 12, get you a good study reference bible and study those books taking notes, Then go to 1 Thessalonians ch 4, 2 Thessalonians ch 2, Mathews ch 24 and back to Revelation Chs 1-12.
And feel free to ask questions.
God bless.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
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.
This is a result of the nuclear ocean attacks in context with the day of the Lord. The waters turn blood red because the 200 mega ton weapon killed everything in the water. Then the beast persecutes the saints beginning the 42 month great tribulation.
So now we can appreciate the significance of the "number" pertaining to munitions within Russia's arsenal.
The deception has been laid, what will we be spared? There is a difference between God's wrath, org meaning; anger, wrath, passion; punishment, vengeance. and tribulation thlipsis meaning; persecution, affliction, distress. The beast will be given time to inflict tribulation on the saints in the world and overcome them, Revelation 13:5-7, as God gave Satan, Job 1:12 Job 2:6. Satan's last shot, because he knows his time is short, Revelation 12:12.
The adversary, with this deception, has manipulated scripture to have many believing the great tribulation and the wrath of God to be the same thing and will be spared going through it. This started developing in the 1700s, and what a deception, a beautiful picture of glorious colors of truth, masterfully painted on a canvas of lies. How many will be deceived by the miracles that will be done by the false prophet, Revelation 13:13-15, and fall away? Or those facing death, and who are overcome by the fear of death, take the mark.
A similar picture of what is to come has happened in the past. Decius/Decian persecution in 250 AD, a decree that Christians had to prove their loyalty to paganism and the emperor, ordered that sacrifices to idols be performed in the presence of a Roman magistrate. It was a signed and witnessed certificate issued. People had to perform a sacrifice to the Roman gods and the emperor.
A great number of Christians were put to death for refusing to perform the sacrifices, many others apostatized (falling away) and performed the ceremonies thinking they could still be a Christian in secret. Others went into hiding. The Decian persecution was the severest on Christians at that time and the loss suffered by the apostasy (falling away). What is coming will be more severe and worldwide.
Did God spare them? If not, should we be? Have we exalted ourselves more worthy? Are you ready, praying that our faith shall not fail, even if facing death?

1 Corinthians 15:52
"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
King James Version (KJV) this is the verse that came to my mind maybe Jesus was I also found this verse
Revelation 12:5
"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."
King James Version (KJV) You have some studying to do on this question
Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world as we see when he tempted Jesus, Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
We see again Satan who deceived the whole world when he is cast down to earth permanently, Revelation 12:7-9. He then gives his power, his seat, and authority to the beast over the world, Revelation 13:2. But Satan is limited in accordance with God's will and he dwells in darkness and that is the boundary of his territory. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
That is why we must do as in Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If we walk in the Spirit and the true light is in us, darkness will have nothing to do with us, we have victory in Christ. The time is coming when Satan is cast down and gives his authority to the beast, those of us who are still living will see the darkest time and go through it, Jesus does not return until after the tribulations of those days, Matthew 24:29-31 Mark 13:24-27.
So, walk in the light and not in the manners of the world where there is darkness.

I believe you are looking for Revelation 12:14. Those eagle wings is seen here in Exodus 19:4. and Isaiah 40:31.
The fact that they're carried on eagles wings there is no need for protection from any nation. Their protection always came from the Lord and always will. Psalms 121:4-5.
God bless.
There is in Daniel 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Some take prophecy and symbols like animals and put things together to fit theories about end times. Some put Great Britain and the United States. The Lion represents Great Britain, and the Eagle wings represent the United States of America. Bear means Russia, the leopard means Germany, the chief battle tank of Germany is the leopard tank (Panzer), and more.
Like the wings in Revelation 12:14, you can see in Exodus 19:4, this may give a better understanding of the term used. This could not be referring to either America or airlift by the United States. It has a meaning of caring for the young (children), like what Jesus said in Matthew 23:37.
There are seven-year periods for different things in the bible like seven-year Sabbath, seven years of plenty and then seven years of drought Joseph was given and more, but the seven years that have been placed at the end times is a theory, not in scripture. It is taken from Daniel 9:27 which in my understanding has been fulfilled. You will find only 3.5 years, 42 months, and 1260 days.
I hope this helps.

Jesus CHRIST the MESSIAH referred to the most as Son of GOD. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, Hebrews, etc.
Luke 3:38,
* Romans 8:14, * Hebrews 1:13-14,
I understand "Son's of GOD presented themselves before GOD" to mean= they prayed notice Job 1:5, "offered burnt offerings" then vrs. 6._._._ the accuser came, Revelation 12:10,
Genesis 4:26, Luke 3:38,
Exodus 34:2, Leviticus 14:11, Leviticus 16:28, 1 Samuel 10:19, Daniel 9:18, Luke 2:22, Romans 12:1, Jude 1:24-25,
The man child; found within the church are brethren that have matured to become sons of God, according to the Apostle Paul these are Christians led by the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:14 The sons of God, and the man child, are both male in gender and are one in the same, during the middle of the tribulation, the church will go into labor pains and deliver the man child who will be taken away in the rapture, this is the same understanding of the bridegroom coming for his bride at the midnight hour.
The flesh is on the bones but the spirit isn't in them yet.
God bless. Ezekiel 37:6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
God bless.
Has this prophecy come already?
There are writings outside the Bible, these two are mentioned in the Bible, the book of Enoch, Jude 1:14, the book of Jasher, Joshua 10:11 2 Samuel 1:18 but are they the original books, and there are the writings of Josephus.
Scripture does tell us Satan entered Judas, John 13:27, we see in Matthew 12:26 Jesus said, if Satan cast out Satan, suggests he could possess someone, but Mark writes the same conversation, he writes Jesus is speaking in parables, Mark 3:23.
In Daniel 8 not covering Media and Persia, Alexander the Great, and the four it is Antiochus went plundering to place himself above all including God, Isaiah 14:13 is a good description of his intent. He almost destroyed Jerusalem and the worship of God by Israel and placed the abomination in the temple, but he failed. Host of heaven in Paganism are the sun, moon, stars, and planets that is worshiped, but this is not about angels.
Demons and angels are not the same but if you are looking for scripture it is not in the Bible we have. Fallen angels are not in scripture just a definition that has been given the bad ones. Some angels left their first estate and are locked in chains of darkness (bottomless pit), 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 1:6. They have a king, his name in Hebrew Abaddon, Greek Apollyon Revelation 9:1, the hell you speak of, in my understanding comes from Platonism and not scripture.
Revelation 12 that many places in the past but it is yet in the future, the battle is in heaven, so these angels still have access to heaven. When Satan and these angels are cast down to earth will be permanent because it says no more place is found in heaven, Revelation 12:8-12, my understanding this starts the 3.5 years of tribulation when Satan gives his seat, power, and authority to the beast.
There are evil beings on this earth 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Ephesians 6:12, but how they got here is not in scripture.
Just a little information, may it not add to your questions.
God bless,
