"... and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days." (All Bible quotes from the ESV)
The sun, moon, and twelve stars were shown in the Old Testament to be the nation Israel, for in Joseph's dream, it represented the family of Jacob (Israel), as written in Genesis 37:9-10:
"Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, 'Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.' But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, 'What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?'"
Furthermore, Revelation 12:13-17 says,
"And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
The serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.
But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.
Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea."
When was Satan cast down? When did/will this happen to the Woman? When were/are these 1,260 days? Why exclude these other portions of Revelation 12 when describing the Woman?
“Why is the quote cut off in the middle of Revelation 12:6?”
I suspect it is caused by adding the Roman element Hopium.
There ya go.<
You insinuate bad motive where none is intended.
