However, it states that Israel is both His wife and His children. And now Israel is also his mother? LOL!
No matter. We still have Galatians 4:25-26 which states that heavenly Jerusalem is the mother of us all, and that is a hard nut to crack.
I guess all things are possible; but in Revelation 12 the “mother” must also be the target of Satan, along with her Christian children. How does Israel fit into that scenario, unless the Church is Israel? There is no evidence of that.
