I was thinking more of

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Ah yes!! The error of Catholicism! The “great wonder”, the woman that appeared in heaven is NOT Mary. It’s the nation of Israel. It’s the nation of Israel that birthed Christ. It is the Nation of Israel that has a crown of twelve stars, the twelve tribes. It is the remnant of the nation of Israel that will flea into the wilderness to be protected by God for the last half of the tribulation. The twisting of that verse by the RCC to justify it’s pagan belief of a “queen of heaven” is from Satan not from God.
