I believe that the woman in Revelation 12 is Israel, not a human figure and not Mary. It's a prophetic verse.

Scripture often has multiple meanings, ESPECIALLY in prophecy!

We Christians note that many of the "Jesus" prophecies ALSO have multiple meanings - one for the immediate time and people when written, and another meaning for the future - us. Thus, the Suffering Servant refered to Israel - and for us, it refered to Jesus Christ.

Same thing with Revelation 12. It means Israel - but it also refers to a particular person who gave BIRTH to the Son of God! Mary!

Regards
