AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went off to wage war on the rest of her children (seed), those who keep and obey the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [holding firmly to it and bearing witness to Him]. |
Bible Question:
I would like to know the meaning conveyed in Revelation 12:17 I want to know what John the Revelator signifies of the woman he is speaking of and its meaning. |
Bible Answer: Hi A widely held view is that the woman is spiritual Israel and that 'the rest of her seed' are Gentile Christians. In that view this took place after the resurrection in the days of the early church, and continues today. There are many other views. Revelation is the subject of more controversy than any other book. In view of that fact I will not discuss it on the forum. If you would like to discuss the matter further with me please email me.
