Anything under the realm of Satan's kingdom is under the realm of Mystery Babylon the great. Which is why the world is the way it is - full of violence.
Well, not quite, as far as I know there is only one world populated with humans. I think Satan's domain belongs here, he was given that birthright by Adam & Eve.
When the angel in the first verse shines the light on the world, he is shining the light on the evil that it has become, being under the dominion of Satan and his angels.
When the 7th trumpet sounds, and the war in the second heaven takes place and Satan and his angels cast down to earth, that is Babylon the great is fallen is fallen. Cast down from its high place. God's begins dismantling Satan's grip on the world.
The Seventh Trumpet brings forth the Seven Vials which is the 3rd Woe, there is only 75 days left when the 7th Trumpet sounds. Satan is cast out close to the Midway point, I am pretty sure it says the Red Dragon chases the Women into the Wilderness, and they are there for 1260 Days, so that happens at the First Seal or very close to it, of Course Satan can orchestrate the Anti-Christ to so something from his heavenly perch, so I think he is cast out of Heaven at the Sixth Seal (6th Seal) thus the Stars that fall to earth from heaven are Demonic beings in that instance.
So lets compare those two passages.
Rev. 6:12 And I beheld when he had
opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13 And
the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
I see the above as Satan and his Demonic hordes being cast out of heaven as "UNTIMELY FIGS". We had a Meteor hit in the Gulf of Mexico and it wiped out all the Dinosaurs, I don't think a bunch of actual stars are going to be cast down unto earth. This is Satan being cast out of Heaven, because if you notice the 144,000 (ALL Israel) are fleeing Judea in Rev. 7, just like in Rev. 18 where the Devil inhabits the earth, and God calls for Israel (My people) to come out of Babylon.
Rev. 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and
I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the
key of the bottomless pit.
This is an Angel, every Seal, Trumpet or Vial was brought forth by and Angel, not a Demon. The Angels bound to an APPOINTED TIME at the Euphrates are Angels also, not Demons. Rev. 9 happens at the 5th Trumpet, the 6th Trumpet is when the Two-witnesses die and the 7th Trumpet is the Seven Vials or 3rd Woe. There is no way the 7th Trumpet is the MIDWAY POINT !!

Revelation 12 is about the 7 years relevant to Israel - not the church. The church is not in
Revelation 12.
Of course it is, who do you think the BEHEADED Saints are ? The ones under the Alter who are given White Robes and told they must wait until their fellow Brothers are killed as they were. They are thus judged, and live and reign with Christ on earth for 1000 years (Rev. 20:4). God is going to protect the Repentant Jews, but those Gentiles who come to Christ after the Rapture are the REMNANT spoken of in Rev. 12:17 who ARE NOT PROTECTED, they did not make the Marriage, thus the door was shut on them. They will be required to die for their faith. The Jews will clearly be PROTECTED !! In Petra supernaturally. The Jews who do not REPENT, will be killed (the 2/3 who die) so why would they be called those who KEEP the Commandments of Jesus ? That refers to the REMNANT Church, the SMALL PART not in Heaven brother.
The Jews are all Christians for the time, times, half times. So will have fled into time to be in the wilderness, protected from Satan and the beast. Others will be captives of the beast's army occupying Israel during that time. They are the ones in
Revelation 12:17. And will be the ones rescued by Jesus in Jerusalem in
Zechariah 14.
No they are not all Christians brother, 2/3 do not Repent and 1/3 do. The 1/3 are protected by God in the Wilderness, then Jesus saves them when he arrives. Read Zech. 13, 1/3 are brought through the fire and 2/3 will perish.
Zechariia. 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord,
two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but
the third shall be left therein. 9 And
I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
The REMNANT in Rev. 12:17 is the REMNANT CHURCH, that's why Jesus' Commandments are mentioned!!
In
Revelation 12, is the seven years.
Revelation 12:6, the first 1260 days, which near the end of the two witnesses testimony, the Jews will have fled into the wilderness.
I would say this is speaking of only the last 3.5 Years.
Then the 7th trumpet sounds, the war in the second heaven. Satan cast down, and given the key to the bottomless pit. He will have only a time, times, half time left.
The 7th Trumpet sounds bringing forth the 3rd Woe, the Two-witnesses are already dead by this point in time. There is 75 days left until the Second Coming from this point in time. Nothing you describe even fits brother, the Angel that opens the Bottomless pit is the 5th Trumpet (1st Woe), so how do you even go there brother?
The Jews receive the gospel.
The earth helps the Jews who fled into the wilderness. The locust come out of the pit and torment them not sealed with the seal of God.
For them who have not fled, it will be the worst time in the history of Israel,
Daniel 12:1. Michael is going to help them during that time.
The Jews REPENT BEFORE the Day of the Lord. So all of the repenting happens before the 1260. Which happens at the FIRST SEAL. Dan. 12:1 matches up with Rev. chapter 6.
How will the Jews know ahead of time to flee when the AoD is placed in the temple? Jesus's instructions were....
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
That is just Jesus revealing a sense of urgency, by the time SOME Jews understand/hear what has happened in the Temple they might 2 days left, 5 days left, or 1 day left. But the 1290 happens 30 days before the 1260, and the 1260 is the Anti-Christ Conquering Jerusalem. The 1290 is the AoD, so it happens 30 days before the Anti-Christ is allowed to go forth via the First Seal.
The two witnesses will be preaching and prophesying to them to do so for three years plus ahead of time, that's how.
The two witnesses aren't just going to show up on the day the AoD is placed in the temple. And then 1260 later at the climax of the great tribulation, the people of the world barely alive, have a holiday over their deaths and celebrate, as there is mass starvation, dying, wars, taking place, on a global scale.
That's why they die at the 2nd Woe 75 days before the BEAST DIES..........Because they preach for 3.5 years before the BEAST comes to power..........NOT !!
The Two-witnesses die just before the Beast dies, there is NO WAY they can be on earth 1260 days preaching as Witnesses, preach for 1260 days before the BEAST comes to power, than preach or Witness all the way to the 2nd Woe and be on earth only 1260 days, it just does not fit brother !!
