THE WOMAN
CLOTHED IN THE SUN FLEES. LEONHARD SCHIEMER:
The Lord says: Sun and moon will be changed. Then all the generations on earth
will wail and will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven. The
wailing of the godless will continue for five months, but before that they will
seize you. Those days of the greatest tribulation are shortened, as Daniel
says.… The woman, that is, the church clad with Christ the sun, will flee from
the dragon for twelve hundred days. She will be miraculously nourished by God
in the desert, where he has prepared her a place. That is forty-two months. The
judgment begins with the house and people of God. A LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT RATTENBERG.
