Q
Please explain Revelation 12, verse 6. Is this the church during the tribulation period?
A
In Rev. 12 the dragon represents Satan and the woman represents Israel.
We know this because verse 5 tells us that the woman gave birth to the Messiah. It was Israel who gave birth to the Lord, not the Church.
Rev. 12:6 describes the believing remnant of Israel being protected in the desert during the time of the Great Tribulation. This thought is expanded in verses 13-17. Many believe that the place she’ll be taken is Petra, in modern Jordan.
