That's YOPIOS. How can Israel be Christ's Mother? But we do from Scripture that Mary, along with her spouse Joseph, fled into the wilderness due to Herod seeking the Child's life.
Rev 5 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Israel on the other hand, has been dispersed among the nations, protected by God, we know from scripture that a remnant will be saved,and that she has been persecuted forever.
Israel, the Church, is the bride. Ever hear of "the bride of Christ?"
Rev 19
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
