John's Vision on Patmos
This is a description of gods army when John turned around he was looking between the lamp stands which are the churches at the people in the churches
12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,(the lampstands represent the churches where the candles are supposed to give light or knowledge) 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,( meaning the people he saw among the churches the congregations or the people are Christ like are made in his image)[d] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.( And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.)14 The hair on his head was white like wool,(the white or grey hair is supposed be a crown for your head ) as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. the armies eyes were like blazing fire
…15His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace,(the feet represents the army of god the followers of Christ referenced from the book of Daniel) and His voice was like the roar of many waters.(his voice is like many waters or people this is the clue to defining this statement, he's painting a picture of what Christs army looks like, the image being described is typical of prophecy ) 16He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. 17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,…
this is a war of spirits the feet represent a conquering army his voice is the voice of countless people this is gods army
its spiritual warfare but also comes with physical conflict as a result
the prophets described conquering armies as precious metals bronze is a conquering kingdom in Daniel.

from the book of Daniel old testament
32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 3

Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven. 9And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land. 10And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 11He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of [f]His sanctuary was cast down. 12Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.
the horn represents the shofar or the call to meeting and the battle cry thy sword of thy mouth
the little horn was jesus you have to understand how he fullfilled the old testament to understand the new version
and this was his reward,, from the introduction to revelations
To Him who [b]loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6and has made us [c]kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus of his own free will acted out and fulfilled the old testament prophecy knowing he would be put to death
that is why he is king.
And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed, 42“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.…

1Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
America had a very religious beginning 13 colonies i believe the carolinas were basically one in the beginning so a bakers dozen
britian and england gave birth to the united states our government has been under attack ever since it hardly resembles its founding
3And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4His 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. 5She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. 6Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

The Woman Persecuted13Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [c]Christ.
