We see in revelations 12 a Great woman, a Strong man -child and an Old serpent. This great woman is The Lord‘s bride. The Lord desires for us as his bride to produce something, to birth something. What needs to come out of the woman is simply Christ. This is the mark of strength and maturity. Sad to say all believers will not be ready and watchful when the Lord calls us, But in his perfect plan he just needs a strong portion of this woman to be mature in Jesus Christ. These Saints will be caught up to the throne of God and used by the Lord to defeat the accuser of the brethren, Satan, and cast him out of heaven. "But take heed to yourselves lest perhaps your hearts be weighed down with debauchery and drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare. For it will come in upon all those dwelling on the face of all the earth."
"But be watchful at every time, beseeching that you would prevail to escape all these things which are about to happen and stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:34-36)
"And she brought forth a son, a man-child, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne." (Revelation 12:5)
"And he (overcoming believers) will shepherd them with an iron rod, as vessels of pottery are broken in pieces, as I also have received from My Father;" (Revelation 2:27)
