Rev 12:1 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:

Crown is usually a symbol of royalty, leadership perhaps a queen?

This woman is NOT Mary...Why do you people refuse to study the scriptures???

The woman is Israel...The twelve stars of the crown are the twelve tribes of Israel...

What is so hard to understand about a good, Jewish mother, who became our spiritual mother, and a role model for all of us.

Because it's a fantasy...A fabrication...Just like the story of the crown on the woman's head...

Why do you people refuse to study the scriptures???

Anyone who disagrees with your own personal interpretation of Scripture "refuses to study" Scriptures?

LOL

Riiiiight.

"Behold, you shall conceive in your womb and shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus... therefore, the holy one who shall be born of you shall be called Son of God" (Lk 1:31, 35).

You interpret Rev. differently. That's fine. I wouldn't call you ignorant because that is not pleasing to the God I know, who dislikes the pharisees, and asks us to Love him and others.
