There are Two Great Women mentioned in the Book of Revelation:

1- The Great Sign of Rev.12:1, "a woman clothed with the sun".
2- The Woman seated on the Red Beast, Babylon the Great, mother of prostitutes, of Rev.17:3,5.

"They correspond to another two women of the same Book:

1- The Great Sign of 12:1 is the same as the Bride of Rev.19:7, 21:2, 22:17, which is the New Jerusalem of Rev.21:2, the Church of Christ.
2- The Woman mother of prostitutes is typified by another woman in Rev.2:20: Jezebel!."

She is not an earthly woman. Satan has not had any special hatred toward any human female. Rather, this is a symbolic woman. That is, she stands for something else. This is shown in the Bible’s last book, Revelation, where more information is given about her. There “the woman” is described as being “adorned with the sun, standing on the moon, and with the twelve stars on her head.” To help us to find out who this “woman” represents, note what Revelation goes on to say about her child: “The woman brought a male child into the world, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne.” Revelation 12:1-5, The Jerusalem Bible.

Learning who or what the “male child” is will help us to find out whom or what “the woman” represents. The child is not a literal person, just as the woman is not a real human female. The scripture shows that this “male child” is “to rule all the nations.” So the “child” represents God’s government with Jesus Christ ruling as King. “The woman,” therefore, represents God’s organization of faithful heavenly creatures. Just as the “male child” came forth from “the woman,” so the King, Jesus Christ, came forth from the heavenly organization, the body of loyal spirit creatures in heaven that work together to carry out God’s purpose. Galatians 4:26 calls this organization “the Jerusalem above.” So, then, when Adam and Eve first rebelled against God’s rulership, Jehovah made arrangements for a Kingdom government that would serve as a hope for lovers of righteousness.

The woman mentioned in Rev 12:1 symbolizes God’s Heavenly Kingdom, Jesus Christ as the King and the chosen 144,000 to rule with Jesus in heaven.

For the first time, John beholds a woman in heaven. She is, of course, not a literal woman. Rather, she is a sign, or a symbol. (Revelation 1:1) What does she symbolize? In the inspired prophecies, women at times represent organizations “married” to outstanding personalities. In the Hebrew Scriptures, Israel was spoken of as a wife of Jehovah God. (Jeremiah 3:14) In the Greek Scriptures, the congregation of anointed Christians is spoken of as Christ’s bride. (Revelation 21:9-14) The woman John here sees is also married to someone, and she is about to give birth. Who is her husband? Well, later her child is “caught away to God and to his throne.” (Revelation 12:5) Jehovah thus claims the child as his own. Therefore, the woman that John sees must be Jehovah’s symbolic wife.

About eight centuries earlier, Jehovah had addressed this symbolic wife, saying: “All your sons will be persons taught by Jehovah.” (Isaiah 54:5, 13) Jesus quoted this prophecy and showed that these sons were his faithful followers, who later formed the congregation of anointed Christians. (John 6:44, 45) So members of this congregation, spoken of as God’s sons, are also children of God’s symbolic wife. (Romans 8:14) The apostle Paul adds the final piece of information when he says: “The Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.” (Galatians 4:26) The “woman” seen by John, then, is “the Jerusalem above.”

From what I see, ya is definitely crammed with extra liberals so it would make experience that anybody they put in a place of administration shares their liberal viewpoints, even revs/pastors. YA has gotten some undesirable press in those circles and that i hear they could have some opposition quickly. I observe you're no longer a form of at right here all day and evening so, till the competition arrives, i might merely no longer difficulty with this.

The woman represents humanity cooperating with God's plans. It is also Mary who gives birth to Jesus; it is also the Church fleeing to the desert, that is, living spiritually withdrawn from the world and nourished by the Word of God during the persecutions.

I would like to ask you to pray this little prayer with me. It is the prayer of St. Theresa who is the patron saint of Little Ways. Meaning she did little things in life well and with great love.

May today there be peace within.May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

I would appreciate if you could share this prayer with your friends. My daughter sent it to me.
Peace and every blessing!

Is it the whore of babylon? If it is, I sometimes think it's me.Because of the things I say. I probably have it all wrong and am misleading people. Hope not.
