12:2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
12:3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
12:4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

We are patience in waiting His second coming. - Lifting us up to the glorious clouds when Jesus comes a second time.
We are employed in the building of the body of Christ. We are purified and changed from carnal man to spiritual one like Jesus. It starts from honesty, not lying. We are honest in teaching, confessing the sin, and everything. Until we do not stumble in word. We are perfect when Jesus comes a second time. Right now we are in labor and pain, but when He comes a second time, we will shout for joy on the glorious clouds until we sit together with Jesus on the throne of heaven forever.
God blesses us.
