This is a very important revelation and prophecy in Revelation 12. It must have divine interpretation. I have the interpretation but won’t try to tell you everything. Will say this:

The dragon is the devil. The woman giving birth is Mary. She gives birth to Jesus. the descendants (her seed) are the born again Christians who are persecuted for righteousness sake.

The one third part of the stars (4) are the angels that were deceived by Lucifer in heaven and became the fallen angels (9).

Michael is the Arch angel, God’s highest angel.

Revelations is a Prophetic book, meaning it contains prophesy. Typically, prophesies aren’t written: On Tuesday you will get a bad haircut and want ice cream. Moreover, the end-times are apparently a tumultuous time, when many strange and frightening things happened.

The revelations were revealed in a vision. At the time he received this vision, he would have had little from his regular life to compare with the things he saw in this vision.

Was it real or just a dream? Time will tell

It’s definately real. When you hear Protestants talking about the end days, hell, heaven and all the interesting stuff, they’ll be quoting from revelation.

(The Orthodox Church seems to be a bit suspicious of the whole revelation chapter. It’s the only part of the bible never read out in liturgy and they say it’s impossible to figure out the meaning of it because it’s too figurative and symbolic so people will interpret it wrongly.)

It is from the book of revelation in the bible and is a book of the end time prophesy. It was given to the appostle John in a vision. He does not know if it was a vision in or out of his body.

It’s very real. Which I guess is unfortunate for those ill-equipped to deal with reality.
