And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
*Mary, or Bette Midler, as Queen of Heaven?
You couldn't find a bigger piece of bologna if you looked in a delicatessen...What'd you do? throw out every other verse in the chapter and apply this one to Mary???
The only verse that COULD apply to Mary is verse 2, but it doesn't...It could not possibly be Mary in verses 3,4,6,14 or 17...
So Israel is the 'woman' in the context...Israel brought forth the Lord Jesus Christ...
