Subject: When did the catholic church go wrong? |
Bible Note: The image of Mary as Queen of Heaven comes directly from Revelation 12:1-12. This image of the woman clothed with the sun and with a crown of tewelve stars has from the beginning been interpreted on several levels. The woman as Irael bringing forth the Messiah, the Church delivering Christ to the world and Mary bringing forth Jesus into the world. Mary fits all the images. She embodies daughter Zion, she is a symbol of the church and she is the actually mother of the Savior. So as not to make any one post too long I will follow with two more posts on Mary as the Ark of the Covenant and as Mother of God. All with appropriate references to Scripture. |
