“And there appeared a great wonder (or “sign”) in heaven; a woman…

.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,

.

that she might fly into the wilderness” 

.

Revelation 12:1, 14

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS”

Matthew 24:16

.

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:”

Matthew 24:15, 16 

.

So the above verse is a warning to all those who are living over there in Palestine… “Flee to the mountains!”.

.

And this photo of the mountains of Judea just might be a good place to flee to.

.

But with today’s tracking devices, it probably wouldn’t be too long until they found you.

.

But does this passage have a message for us Christians who are scattered elsewhere around the world?

.

Listen once again…

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:”

Matthew 24:15, 16 

.

Notice it says in the above verse, “whoso reads, let him understand”.

.

So, there needs to be an understanding of this complex issue.

.

There needs not only to be an understanding of the Abomination of Desolation, but also an understanding of just what it means to, “flee”.

“NOT IN WINTER”

.

“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,)

then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains…

And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.”

Mark 13:14, 18

.

 So just what does this above passage mean?

.

And why does it say that we should pray that our, “flight be not in the winter”?

.

Well, there is no shortage of speculation as to the meaning of this passage. 

.

Many even assign this warning to only the literal Jews.

.

Well, this would make sense, seeing that it speaks of fleeing Jerusalem.

.

THE AUTHOR HAS SHOWN UP

.

Fortunately, there needs to be no speculation about what it means.

.

The Author of the Book has decided to show us just exactly who it is that must flee; and exactly where it is we must flee to; and exactly what it is that we must flee from!

.

Because the Author of the Book has written the answer in none other places but in the very heavens! In the very night skies!

.

You see, God has placed the major constellations in such a way, that they tell the marvelous Gospel story in pictures.

.

And a key part of this heavenly phenomena is this Revelation 12 Woman, as she appears to being fleeing.

.

It’s just that we’ve been so conditioned to look at these major constellations in a certain way, that we have not seen them the way that God originally intended.

SIGNIFICANCE OF WINTER

.

But for those who do begin to see these Bible constellations, there is a very interesting aspect to this: the timing is very revealing.

.

You see, this constellation of this fleeing woman, appears in winter.

.

So what’s the significance of this?

.

You see, this above passage says… “And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.”

.

And so, God is telling us that we will have to make our flight in winter.

.

So, in other words, we didn’t pray; or we didn’t pray enough!

.

But the good news is just this: the place where we must flee to, is also revealed. And it is a place where each and every one of us can get to.

.

And this article reveals all these things. So please read and find the answers to these puzzles.

HEAVENLY MOUNTAINS

.

Well, as just stated, the Lord has created a constellation which shows a woman fleeing.

.

It is called the Revelation 12 Woman Constellation, also known as Ursa Major and it contains the constellation, The Big Dipper. 

.

So if we explore this constellation in the light of the Bible, there can be a wealth of information discovered on this very topic.

.

So come along and dig into this study.

.

And after reading about this heavenly revelation, you just might find yourself fleeing to the mountains.

.

And maybe, just maybe, there are some much better mountains to flee to, than the ones in the above photo of Judea!

.

Mountains in which you can hide, where tracking devices and black helicopters are useless against you!

.

Picture to right: Ursa Major, also known as The Big Dipper

FROM WHERE & TO WHERE DOES SHE FLEE?

.

WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…

.

.

This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ).

.

However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen.

.

It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.  

.

This is seen in springtime in the northern skies. 

.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).

.

The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars.

.

But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights. 

.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.

.

.

.

.

.

.

 “…and the dragon stood before the woman…

for to devour her child as soon as it was born…

And the woman fled into the wilderness,

where she hath a place prepared of God…”

Revelation 12:5, 6 

.

.

Now by winter, this woman has changed into a “fleeing” woman.

.

And if you will go out into the country away from the city lights, you might just see that her upraised arms begin to appear as wings.

.

And she appears to be running, and eventually flying.

.

In this heavenly scenario, this woman is fleeing from the ‘Dragon’ Constellation. However, “fleeing” is mentioned many times in Scripture.

.

It may refer to fleeing from apostate shepherds (John 10:5), brethren or apostate congregations (Psalm 26:5).

.

Or fleeing from sin and (1st Cor. 6:18).  

.

Or from enemies.

.

It is likewise speaking of fleeing to the mountains.

.

.

And as you can see, the Dragon is spewing water out of his mouth.

.

And it is amazing that this water is always going in the direction of the woman.

.

The water stands for false doctrines, false brethren, persecutions, and temptations.

.

“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,

that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place,

where she is nourished for a time,

and times, and half a time,

from the face of the serpent. 

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.”

Revelation 12:14, 15

.

Well, it’s clear that this Woman is fleeing from the Dragon who is spewing water after her.

.

But just where is this woman fleeing to?

.

Revelation 12 says that she flees into the wilderness where she has a place prepared by God.

.

Nevertheless, this constellation is an amalgamation of all that the Bible warns Christians are to flee from.

.

And it is likewise a composite picture of what the Bible says about what or where or who the Christian should be fleeing to.

“FLEE TO THE VALLEY OF THE MOUNTAIN”

.

.

“And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains…”  Zechariah  14:5

In the Hebrew language, mountains is translated, “Ar” & valley is translated, “Megiddo”. 

.

This is believed to be speaking of Armageddon, the day which is now almost upon us).

.

The Church is to flee from the apostate Church-world, at the very last moments of time in this world.

.

There is a constellation group in the summer sky, called the Valley of Decision Constellation Group.

.

WITNESSING IN TRIALS

.

The Woman With Eagle Wings appears to be casting seed as she goes.

.

This would be the precious seed of the Gospel.

.

Can you see the seed coming from both her hands and feet?

.

“He that goeth forth and weepeth,

bearing precious seed,

shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,

bringing his sheaves with him.”

Psalms 126:6.  

.

She is casting the seed both from her left hand and from her left foot. 

.

The left hand and left foot being the passive hand and foot, seems to symbolize that our most effective witness is when we’re not even aware that we are witnessing.

.

This reminds us of the following verse from Matthew…

“But when thou doest alms,

let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth…”  

Matthew 6:3.

.

See how this verse applies to this left hand-left foot concept?

.

In the book of Daniel, the point is repeatedly made concerning the captive Hebrews (Daniel and friends), that their Christian witness came not from handing out Bible tracks, or speaking to people about the Lord.

.

But their greatest witness came during their severe trials in which they remained faithful!

GREAT LESSON…FLEE !

.

.

“Come, My people,

enter thou into thy chambers,

and shut thy doors about thee:

hide thyself as it were for a little moment,

until the indignation be overpast. 

For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:

the earth also shall disclose her blood,

and shall no more cover her slain.”

Isaiah 26:20, 21 

.

When God’s people finally come to the point where we realize, that we must flee from every temptation (as far and as fast as possible), is when the church will shine most brightly.

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

.

.

.

.

 

.

.

“Lift up your eyes on high,

.

and behold Who hath created these things;

.

that brings out their host by number:

.

He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might,

.

for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.”

Isaiah 40:26“

The above verse is a plea from God to look up at the Heavens and behold Who has created these things.

.

In this busy work-a-day world, there are many very interesting things which can occupy one’s time and energy: hobbies, and careers, and entertainments and worries, and habits, to name just a few.

.

But as the child of God devotes his or her life to God, there should be a jealous guarding of one’s own heart… “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.

.

The Christian wants nothing to get in the way of running that Christian Race.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

.

The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).

.

These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Church (7 Stars).

.

And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

.

These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.

.

Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.
