I have being reading in revaltoins this week and I found some of the verus to be very hard to understand . But by studying and using my bible commatary i have forund out some thing that i have found very helpfull to understnd it better.
The women that is giving brth repesents the church that is the gentiles . The 12 stars repecent the 12 tribes of Isreal. The beast is not satan but is controled by him.
