The Woman of Revelation 12 💥Is it Mary, the Blessed Virgin? (long version)

On the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we look at Revelation 11, and 12, and we ponder the Woman, Clothed with the Sun, with the Moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. Is this Mary, mother of Jesus? Or just a symbol for Isreal?

I am so very happy that Ive heard you. ❤ I thank God for you & your voice (defending the Mother Church). Please pray for me, that I too may speak for the Catholic Church. You are my inspiration. I understand Our Lady so much more, because of you. Thank you

[gracematubis]

Yes! She is the woman of the apocalypse as well as the woman in Genesis 3:15. That’s the reason Jesus Christ addressed Her as “woman” at the wedding in Cana and at the foot of the Cross.

Catholics do not seem to read the old testament. The answers are in Daniel, Genesis, Isaiah, and Ezekiel etc.

in the OT, the imagery of the sun, moon, and stars refers to the nation of Israel. Joseph said, “I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me” (Gen. 37:9). Osborne writes, “In Jewish literature ‘twelve stars’ often refers to the twelve patriarchs or the twelve tribes.”

the Bible frequently uses the imagery of a woman to refer to Israel, Zion, or Jerusalem. Paul writes, “The Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother” (Gal. 4:26). Jeremiah writes, “Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her lover, so you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel” (Jer. 3:20; c.f. Isa. 54:1-6; Ezek. 16:8-14; Hos. 2:19-20; Micah 4:9-10).

the image of being protected by eagle’s wings refers to Israel. In Exodus 19:4, we read, “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.” This seems to fit with the language in Revelation 12:14, where we read, “The two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished.”

the Woman is protected in the wilderness for 1, 260 days. This fits with the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27, which is directed to Israel (“your people and your holy city”). This iteration of 3.5 years is mentioned five times through this section of Revelation (Rev. 11:2; 11:3; 12:6; 12:14; 13:5). Clearly, this time span of three and a half years must be important to the author. This seems to fit with Neros persecution, where the beast is in power (Dan. 9:26-27).

Daniel 12 predicted that Michael would rise up at this time to protect Israel—not the Church (Dan. 12:1). Daniel writes, “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued” (Daniel 12:1). We see a fulfillment of this, when John writes, “There was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war” (Rev. 12:7).

Jesus is said to rule the nations with a rod of iron. In Revelation 19:15, we read, “From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron.” Thus the man-child of verse 5 must be Jesus—not the Church.


So, good news here. This is already happened. This was the conflict where Rome destroyed Jerusalem. This is a good thing. This allowed the church to fully exist with the gentiles within the seven churches of revelation and Rome thus cutting off the Jews by means of their destruction.

Given to me to share by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Rev. 12:1 was in the heavens on September 23, 2017, on the Feast of Trumpets. Literally, Virgo was bathed in the sun with the moon at her feet and three planets in Leo. This is such a rare alignment, last alignment being in 3973 BC at the fall of Adam. The sign was on the feast of trumpets in 2017. It does not set a date, but it does tell us the season and we are the last generation. HIS Mazzaroth was HIS plan of salvation written in the constellations lost to time. Virgo and Leo are the two constellations full circle from the fall to the Kingdom or Gen. 3:15 to CHRIST seated on HIS throne in the Millennium.

Rev. 12:2 look at Isa. 66:7 Israel didn't travail when JESUS was born, the woman did travail In holocaust before the Nation of Israel was born May 14th, 1948.
Rev. 12:3 says to look at the constellation Dragon. The 7 heads are the states that became the Arab League of States. They make a pact with the Nazis in 1939 against the Jewish people aka "woman". The constellation dragon has in its tail Ursa Minor where we get the swastika symbol. Polaris is surrounded by the dragon making it visible both day and night, Rev. 12:10 accusing.

Rev. 12:4 "And the tail (with swastika) drew (into ghettos and death camps) the one third (6 million) of the stars of heaven (Abraham's seed; Gen. 22:17) and did cast them to the ground (murdered and burned), and the dragon (Arab League of States) stood before the woman (children of Israel) which was ready to be delivered (Isa.66:8) so to devour her child (Newborn Nation of Israel) as soon as it was born (the dragon beast attacked the day Israel was born).

Rev.12:5 is the Rapture "Harpazo" of the Body of Christ aka the Gentile Church. JESUS was not Harpazo: violently snatched away HE was "eperthe" slowly lifted up in the clouds. Second, JESUS was a man at HIS ascension. We are to be like a child to enter the Kingdom of GOD, hence "man child"; Mat. 18:2-5.

Rev. 12:6 the 70th week of Daniel begins.

Rev. 12:7-10 is a war of accusations over the man child. aka just Raptured Body of CHRIST aka Gentile Church; Jude 9. Like Moses was accused with railing accusations so will satan accuse us.

Rev. 12:11 in Heaven the Testimony of the Blood of CHRIST on the Mercy Seat is presented to satan and he is rebuked by our Testimony confidence in GOD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

Rev. 12:12 we rejoice at the Wedding supper of the Lamb dwelling in Heaven. Woe to the inhabitants on the earth satan knows his time is 7 years short.

Amen….Thank you for this message. 👍❤️🙏🏼

[MaryJo]

It’s Our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary! THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN ❤👑🙏🏼❤️‍🔥

[rickhuntling]

The Rev. 12:1 is YHWS Mazzaroth full circle on September 23, 2017. She is Eve 4973 BC when the only time the sign happened before 2017. It is not Mary.

[lasttrump]

St Mary is correctly known as the Virgin as she remained so after birth. Calling her Woman is improper and does not match Rev 12 Woman as this is Israel - there are like 6-8 verses in the Old Testament mentioning this very thing. St Paul links the resurrection of the dead to Israel spiritually giving birth to faith in Messiah and it is the Jews of that time that are protected for that 3.5 year period while Christians wont be - just as it says in Rev 12. St Mary didnt have birth pains so not a match.

[Przylepek]

That's not true. This is the people of God, i.e. first Israel, who was the bride of God who gave birth to the Messiah, and then it is the entire people who followed God, i.e. the church. This is how the Church Fathers interpreted it for 2, 000 years. It was only in the 20th century that the thesis was put forward that it was Mary. Were all Christians wrong? Also those from the 2nd century?

[KosmicKaren]

Some people should keep their mouth shut and not be teaching. That would include you.

[erichansen]

Sounds to me like the Blessed Virgin, Joan of Arc, Daughter of God. The son is France whom Pope Saint Pius X called the Tribe of Judah of the New Covenant. He also called Joan the GLORY of the Universal Church. Joan is the incarnation of the Holy Spirit.

[saulovillatoro]

Totally wrong, the parallels you mentioned are irrelevant. For instance, you don’t mentioned the 1260 days in the wilderness the woman spent, why she is protected by the land. You read it, but failed to comment on it. The woman is Israel 🇮🇱. If you accept that is Mary, you need to also accept that she had more children: “the rest of her descendants”.

[markschelm]

The Woman, Is an Individual, The Child is an Individual, The Serpent is an Individual here in Revelation.The Woman is Mary the Morher of God.

[wrongfullyaccused]

The woman in Revelation 12 is the Church.
