Sorry, I never thought about format. Here is the text for people to cut and past as required.
SUN, MOON (Rev 12:1) The sun, moon and 12 stars is the nation of Israel (Genesis 37:9) through whom the human ancestry of Christ is traced. (Romans 9:5)
THE WOMAN (Rev 12:1) The pregnant woman is the true Israel of God - those of faith within natural Israel (Rom 9:6-8) down through the generations (Galatians 3:7) until Mary who finally gave birth to Jesus.
MAN CHILD (Rev 12:5) The child of the woman was Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Messiah. (Isaiah 9:6)
RED DRAGON (Rev 12:3) The dragon with 7 heads and 10 horns, is Satan with his authority over the kingdoms of the world, and his power to give them to whomsoever he will. (Luke 4:5-6)
THIRD STARS (Rev 12:4, 7-12) A third of the stars, cast out of heaven, were Satan’s angels, defeated during the ministry of Christ. (Luke 10:18)
IRON SCEPTRE (Rev 12:5) Christ's rule over the nations with a rod of iron, represents God’s unyielding and all-powerful authority over his enemies. (Psalm 2:9)
1260 DAYS (Rev 12:6 13-14) An ancient calendar formula that occured in the last half of the 7-year cycle. Therefore, when used as a symbol, it represents a 'last days' span of time at the end of an era of God's dealing with man.
HER OFFSPRING (Rev 12:17) Satan turns his attention to the Church – those who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 5:8-9)
THE SEA (Rev 13:1, 17:1) The ‘Seas’ from which the beast emerges, and upon which the great harlot is seated, are the turbulent masses of mankind – peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. (Rev 17:15)
THE BEAST (Rev 13:1) The ‘Beast’ rising from the sea of nations is the aggregation of world power into empires – the end result of secular human government, independent of, and antagonistic to God.
7 HEADS (Rev 17:10) The ‘7 Heads’ are seven empires from history that persecuted the people of God - Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, and Islam. (cf. Dan 7:17)
8TH KING (Rev 17:8,11) The ‘8th King’ is the last manifestation of the beast, following a period when no world empire existed. The world will be astonished when it reappears.
10 HORNS (Rev 17:12-14) The ‘10 Horns’ are the geo-political regions that make up the last beast empire. Their number is a re-appearance of Daniel’s 10 horns (cf. Dan 7:24) which originally emerged during the breakup of Rome. Therefore, they refer to Europe and the Islamic domains.
THE EARTH (Rev 13:11) The ‘Earth’ from which the second beast emerges, is human wisdom from below – not what comes from above, but earthly, unspiritual, demonic. (James 3:15)
2nd BEAST (Rev 13:11) The ‘Beast’ rising from the earth, is religious power arising from human wisdom, and serving the secular power (1st beast) by deceiving people into worshiping it. (Rev 13:12-14)
IMAGE OF BEAST (Rev 13:15, 14:9,16:2, 20:4) The final beast will be an empire, but it will also be personified in the form of a man. (2 Thess. 2:4) Other scriptures call him 'Antichrist.' Revelation calls him the 'Image of the Beast.'
