The things which you have seen (THE PAST=Christ's Finished Work at His First Coming), The things which are (THE PRESENT AGE=The Church Occupying till Christ Comes), The things which must take place after (THE FUTURE AGE=Christ's Second Coming). For more see Bible Study Outline on the End Times Prophecy (ESCHATOLOGY)

Isn'nt the woman the age-old Church/ If the sun clothed woman is the Israeli nation, what nation is the scarlet clothed woman? Women seem to represent spiritual systems rather than nations representd by heads of crowns and horns
