woman, in painful labor, gave birth to a son who ascended to his throne, the remnants of her seed have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Mary, Jesus, Body of Christ.
Since the Body of Christ is the Church, you can use typology, and Paul, to bring Israel into it, but the woman who gave birth to a Son who ascended to heaven.. is obviously Mary.
that’s right who grew wings and fled into the desert. Mary gets around
My confusion returns???
I previously had posted a question concerning whether you actually believed Revelation-Apocalypse 12 referred to Mary and was convinced I was imagining something.
Now it seems clear you are saying the woman is Mary.
I repeat my previous question. Do you, then, believe Mary had other children?
Apocalypse 12 (Catholic RSV)
17 Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And he stood on * the sand of the sea.
This woman had other "offspring".
Could be Israel too.
God considers Himself to be the husband of Israel and Israel produced the Messiah.
