Subject: 18 Book of Revelation |
Bible Note: Darcy, Several levels: the woman represents; the woman of Gen 3:15, she represents Israel (daughter Zion), and she represents the Church. In the concrete the images converge on one real person, Mary, just as the image of the male child who rules with a rod of iron in concrete expression is Jesus and the dragon is Satan. In the Ark of the Covenant God's presence was borne among the Israelites and in Mary God's presence was borne in the womb and delivered in a real birth. Not the majority opinion here but worth comtemplating. Emmaus |
