Hello my sister Audrey, thank you for commenting these interesting scriptures. I am eagerly waiting for this count down of 3 and half years. Even if we don't know the exact day the last remaining anointed will be taken to heaven. But it can not happen before the 3 and half years have ended.
I have been thinking and examining what really is symbolised by the woman in Revelation 12? She will flee to a place prepared by God in a wilderness, as stated in Revelattion 12:6.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God and where they would feed her for 1,260 days.
Feeding make me think about:
17 He said to him a third time: “Simon son of John, do you have affection for me?” Peter became grieved that he asked him the third time: “Do you have affection for me?” So he said to him: “Lord, you are aware of all things; you know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him: “Feed my little sheep.
We could liken this to the Israelites who abruptly left Egypt. Jehovah God did not at once lead them in to the promised land. But they were lead in to a wilderness where they were fed with the Mosaic law and they needed time to build the tabernacle and set up the service at it.
So the great crowd surely need to undergo a feeding period in the wilderness before the 1000 year reign of Christ. Because there are so much things they have not been able to learn under the Governing Body.
