4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. Revelation 12:4-6

Dragons don't eat children, this is just Christian Propaganda.. I have five Dragons in my aura and they are just fine....If people really believe this claptrap, then why do they continually call my beliefs rubbish, I wonder , I know, it's because they are scared of the oldest belief system known to man as we are still here after all the murder and assimilation that has taken place... We Pagans are still here and still a driving force..

12:3 A second sign in heaven is a fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and a diadem on each head. The dragon is Satan, but since the description parallels that of the revived Roman Empire in Rev_13:1, it may be Satan energizing that world power.
12:4, 5 With a swish of his tail, the dragon sweeps a third of the stars of heaven ... to the earth, a possible reference to war in heaven which takes place in the middle of the Tribulation and which results in fallen angels being cast from heaven to earth (see ver. 8, 9).
The dragon is ready to devour the Child as soon as He is born—fulfilled in the attempt of Herod the Great, vassal of Rome, to destroy the newborn King of the Jews. The male Child is clearly Jesus, destined to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. The record here jumps from His birth to His Ascension.
12:6 The Church Age is passed over between verses 5 and 6. In the middle of the Tribulation, a portion of the nation of Israel flees to a secret place of refuge in the wilderness (some think it is Petra). These people remain in hiding for three and one half years.
12:7 War breaks out in heaven with Michael and his angels on one side and the dragon and his angels on the other. This is in the middle of the Tribulation. Michael, the archangel, is associated with the affairs of the nation of Israel (Dan_12:1).

You are looking at Israel as the woman, You are looking at the anti-christ as a beast trying to destroy Israel during the great tribulation. At the beginning of the great tribulation the anti-christ comes on the scene to try to get rid of Israel, but Israel flees into the wilderness, to escape the anti-christ. Many thinks Israel will flee to a place called Petra, which is about 80 miles from Israel, But that is not where they will go, why go 80 miles just to have a missile drop on you, they flee into the wilderness, there is one Country in this world that has the capiability of being the wilderness & that is North America, which is the United States & Canada. Far out of the reach of the anti-christ. When all of this is going on, here on this earth, The Bride will be in heaven at the marriage supper, & in Rev 19:11-17 you see Christ & his Bride coming back to rule & reign for 1000 yrs.

Lots of stars fell on the Earth.
There's a woman giving birth.
The dragon that was supposed to eat her child didn't do a very good job.
The child could be the president of the world, with an iron stick, and he was allowed to sit on Gods throne.
The woman was put on wellfare for a little over 6 years, but she was made to move the bush.

it means his tail took 1/3rd of the stars and threw them to the earth while the drogon sttod in front of the stirups so that he could eat the ladies baby after it exited the birth canal. The child was a boy who is supposed to rule every country with an iron rod and so he was taken up to God and His throne but the lady took off into the woods where she set up a camp for God so God could hook her up with food for 3 years and 165 days which puts it about June 14th assuming that it's not a leap year and it starts at Jan 1.

these quotes from the bible can be so hard to understand.
to me it seems that a woman has given birth to a baby boy in the woods and this baby was eaten by a hugh wild animal
she then took herself futher into the woods. i think she though she was being punished by god and stayed there for a couple of years where she survived on the land.
we know that dragons dont exist. it could have been some kind of flying animal that ate the child. i think to get a good answer to this story from the bible would be to go and see a priest in a church they would help you immediately. if you do i would like very much to know the answer

the dragon is the devil or any anti-christ force
the woman is israel
the child is Jesus( of course)
the three and ahalf years refers to the time of tribulation when the whole world will be against israel
the wilderness is the protection God will provide for israel during that time
