Devotion 1 of 2: Rev 12

The woman in this chapter represents Israel, her child represents Jesus and the dragon represents Satan working through AC. V.4-5 describe how Satan tried to kill Jesus through Herod, but failed, and when he did finally kill Jesus on the cross, Christ resurrected and then ascended to heaven. In the endtime, after the church is raptured in the middle of the tribulation, Satan will try to destroy Israel through AC, but God will protect Israel for 3.5 years until the end of the tribulation (v.6, 13-17). That’s when AC will assemble a huge army and attack Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. But Jesus will save Israel and destroy AC and his army at his 2nd coming (Rev 19:19-21). Let’s pray for Israel’s protection and salvation!

Devotion 2 of 2: Zech 8

God will restore Israel as a nation (v.7-8a), then they will believe in Jesus as their Messiah at the Battle of Armageddon at the end of this world age (Zech 12:8-10). So I believe much of this chapter is prophesying how God will use the Jews during the Millennium to bless and teach unbelieving Gentiles who were not killed when Christ returned (Zech 14:16-21) and destroyed AC and his army (Rev 19:19-21).
