1 | the nation Israel referred to as a woman | OT general | Tim3:16 | 174430 | ||
Where can I find in the Bible where Israel is represented as a woman? I am concerned about the woman in Rev12:1, I believe the woman is the nation of Israel and am interested in using Scripture to find who she is. Thank you and God Bless, Tim |

2 | the nation Israel referred to as a woman | OT general | Emmaus | 174431 | ||
Tim 3:16 Throughout the Old testament Israel is alludesd to or compared to a woman in relation to God and not always a good woman. For example Hosea's problems with a harlot wife are used by God to show how Isreal, His wife, acts toward Him. You may want also to look at passages in the Bible referring "daughter Zion" and "daughter Jerusalem." The woman in Revelation 12 can be seen on three levels; as the personification of Isreal from whom the Savior came in the broad sense; as Mary from whom the Savior came in the specific sense and the Church, the new Israel whose children (Rev. 12:17) make up the body of Christ, which Satan is always attacking. You may wish to look at Genesis 37:9; Gen 3:16; Micah 4;9-10; Isaiah 66:7; Psalm 2:9. Emmaus |

Tim 3:16, Here are a few more references for you. "We see this promise of "messianic nuptials" with increasing intensity in the writings of the prophets (see Hosea 2:16-25; Jeremiah 2:1-2; 3:1, 6-12; Ezekiel 16; Isaiah 50:1; 54:4-8; 62:4-5), in certain Psalms (see for example Psalm 45) and other Old Testament writings (See Song of Songs). "In Hosea, we have the clearest description of God's intentions. There, in language reminiscent of Genesis, God promises a new covenant with creation that will be capped by His marriage to Israel forever (see Hosea 2:20-21; Genesis 1:20-21,24-25). "In the Song of Songs, which symbolically depicts the wedding of God to His people, wine is also the sign of their joyful union (see Song of Songs 1:2,4; 4:10; 5:1; 7:3,9; 8:2).

Well, if you are going to consider the Preterist perspective, you might want to balance it out by looking at the alternative views. The following are based on a Biblical hermeneutic based in the authority of Scripture: http://www.ccel.org/wwsb/Revelation/12.html |
