Answer 1

Hi. It sounds like you are asking because you think its strange that she isn't in Jerusalem or somewhere in the COUNTRY
Israel, is that right?
This is why: In the Bible, when you read "Israel", or "the children of Israel", its
not speaking of the Country named Israel
today, but instead its talking about the ten Tribes of Israel that migrated north over the Caucus Mountains, and became known as "caucasions". As prophecied in Scripture,they were to become more numerous than the stars in the sky, and they settled Europe and eventually the USA and Canada, and the other Free Christian
Nations of Today - these basically make up those ten tribes. The other three tribes were
The Tribe of Judah, The Tribe of Levite,
and the Tribe of Benjamin, which all stayed
in and around Judea. (Jesus was of the Tribe of Judah, the King line, and the Tribe of Leviticus, the Priest line - making Him Our King and High Priest.) You see the "houses" split, so that the other ten tribes scattered. God said that they would be lost, and yet said that they would become numerous as the stars in the sky, and the sands of the sea; and why there seems to be that inconsistancy, its not really an inconsistancy, because the ten tribes are lost - God hasn't lost them, he knows exactly who they are - but they don't; they call themselves by many names, but thats who they are today. The British Crown
knows who "Israel" is, they even sit on a throne with Jacobs pillow under it, the rock.
When Princess Di was buried, I noticed
on the side of the satin covering over the
casket, was a message that read: "our brothers, the tribe of Judah", with the Lion
on it, their insignia.
We are the Children of Israel. This may
give you a different understanding when
you read the Bible next time.

In Revelation chapter 12, the woman is described as "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Revelation 12:1). Note the similarity between this description and the description that Joseph gave of his father Jacob (Israel) and his mother and their children (Genesis 37:9-11). The stars refer to the twelve tribes of Israel. So, the woman in Revelation 12 is Israel.

Additional evidence is that in Revelation 12:2-5, the passage speaks of the woman being with child and giving birth. While it is true that Mary gave birth to Jesus, it is also true that Jesus, the son of David from the tribe of Judah, came from Israel. In a real sense, Israel gave birth, or brought forth, Christ Jesus. Further evidence for this is in 12:5 where the Scripture says that the woman "gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne." This is easily understood as describing Jesus. Jesus will one day establish His kingdom on earth (Revelation 20:4-6) and He will rule. This verse also makes reference to Jesus' ascension to heaven 40 days after His resurrection (Acts 1:9-11) speaking of the son "being caught up to God and to His throne."

"He does not participate interior the national Day of Prayer " no longer real! I observed the 'classic', "national day of prayer" memo he despatched out calling for all electorate to wish. as properly... on the present time of prayer ingredient violates the stern interpretation of the form besides. yet he nonetheless did it. If every physique is a hypocrite it could be those calling for 'strict interpretation;' of the form whilst calling for a 'national day of prayer' on the comparable time. Presidents going back 6 to the 1800's had subject concerns with the 'national day of prayer'. "whilst he spoke at George city he had something non secular lined/bumped off." no longer by skill of His very own request or decision. Obama is a Christian that recognises that the U. S. shape forbids the federal government from organising, sponsoring, or advertising any faith. enable's wait and notice what happens at Notre Dame previously you criticise him for it.

Answer 4

Because of not understanding.

What was not known before of Revelation will become more understood as we move toward the end.
We are moving that way as you must be aware.
Every tick of the clock.

OLAY!

Perhaps I should tell you of my poem.

As I was going into a trance.
In a flash.

Here it comes down the track.
It neither slows nor speeds.
Turns neither left nor right.
Behind it the cars, representing the eons of time.
See, I look down the track and see the caboose approaching.

You know what is at the end of the train don't you.

Answer 5

Hey that woman is a goddess…

“A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.”

Not only that, she’s a pagan goddess. It’s not “Israel”, it’s a goddess pure & simple. Why? Because Revelation is full of numerology, mysticism, secrets, mind-games, alchemy & astrology. Not very “Christian” is it? No, it’s pagan actually. That book barely made it into the NT, they desperately needed a happy end so it had to do.

Answer 6

The woman in Revelation 12:1 is the kingdom of God and the child she gives birth to is Jesus Christ.

Answer 7

Don't let Catholic imagery pervert the meaning. The identification of the woman in Rev. 12:1 is identified in Genesis.

Answer 8

it represents the bride of christ, who brings forth Christ's 2nd coming and this gentile bride is raptured b4 the great tribulation that lasts 1260 days or 3 1/2 years. this is not mary. israel brought forth christ's 1st coming and the bride brings forth the 2nd coming of christ. the book of revelations is a prophecy of a future events. it is not giving historical records when it was written. although now many of the events are historical since they were written. it is not speaking of israel in the historical sense here.

Answer 9

That woman is Mary the Mother of God, who represents Israel

Answer 10
