Uh. None of those scriptures mention Mary.
The woman in Rev 12 isn't even Mary. It is Israel. The 12 stars are the twelve tribes. Israel is the focus of the Tribulation. Mary is not the woman. Rather, Israel brought forth the man-child and was persecuted by Satan.

Good Bye.
And you ignored all the other quotes...
as usual....
