  • Dwayne Deal on Revelation 12:1 - 10 years ago
    The woman is Gods persecuted/suffering 'wife'-the nation of Israel,as symbolized by the moon/pearl under her feet(see Rev 21:12-13,21a). The sun covering her is an emblem of Gods shekinah Glory protecting her through her time of tribulation. And the crown(stephenos)of twelve stars on her head represents the victory that the twelve tribes of Israel are to experience through struggle,opposition,and the almost relentless attack of the arch enemy of both God and man. Which is what this and the next few chapters go on to show. Also see Genesis 37:9,10 for the Sun-husband,Moon-wife,and Stars-children symbolism
