Question

We don't dispute scripture, we just beleive them. Why do you beleive it is Mary? Here is scriptual text for the assumption of Mary into heaven!!! I love scripture.

Answer 1

I'm afraid you got Mary mixed up with Israel, for this is who she represents.

Answer 2

This is the "Bride of Christ" or the "Church" on Earth. The 12 Stars on her head represent the 12 "Spiritual Tribes of Israel" NOT the ACTUAL 12 tribes of Israel! The Book of Revelation (its a single REVELATION NOT REVELATION(S), states that the Bride gives Birth to the child which is then snatched and carried away so that Satan cannot destroy it. This is so that the 12 Spiritual Tribes (each containing 12,000 members, equaling a TOTAL OF 144,000) will Reign with Christ Jesus in Heaven over the Earth during the 1,000 years that Satan and his angels are locked in the Bottomless Pit (see Revelation Ch. 18). These Kings and Priests with Christ are not simply Israelites because during the first 50 days after the death of Christ until PENTECOST (which means fifty) is the date that the Holy Spirit was poured out and then the Nations of the World were welcome to become "Spiritual Israelites with a circumcision of the heart, not of the flesh." (Romans 2:28-29) So, until Pentecost only Jews were allowed to become Christians and then the Holy Spirit opened up the preaching and teaching through the use of the Gift of Tongues (if you read Acts, you will see that speaking in Tongues is actually SPEAKING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, not some gibberish). The people in the Upper Room were astounded that others could now speak THEIR LANGUAGES.

So, as The Book of Revelation, Ch. 1:3 says: "Happy is anyone who reads aloud and UNDERSTANDS these words."

Answer 3

St. John, who wrote the book of revelation after receiving it from Jesus, almost certainly asked Jesus how "mom" (the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the authentic Ark of the New Covenant) was doing. Then he suitably recorded it, and also passed it along via oral Tradition to the whole church.

No one ... including the original protestant "reformers" ever seriously questioned the matter, until relatively modern times, where heresy appears to be the new "norm".

From the account in Revelation 11 & 12, we Catholics have always known that the Mother of God is doing very well, thank you!

Here's a small portion of what the authentic and universal Christian church has always known to be true, according to both scripture and St. John's apostolic tradition:

40. Hence the revered Mother of God, from all eternity joined in a hidden way with Jesus Christ in one and the same decree of predestination,[47] immaculate in her conception, a most perfect virgin in her divine motherhood, the noble associate of the divine Redeemer who has won a complete triumph over sin and its consequences, finally obtained, as the supreme culmination of her privileges, that she should be preserved free from the corruption of the tomb and that, like her own Son, having overcome death, she might be taken up body and soul to the glory of heaven where, as Queen, she sits in splendor at the right hand of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages.[48]

41. Since the universal Church, within which dwells the Spirit of Truth who infallibly directs it toward an ever more perfect knowledge of the revealed truths, has expressed its own belief many times over the course of the centuries, and since the bishops of the entire world are almost unanimously petitioning that the truth of the bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into heaven should be defined as a dogma of divine and Catholic faith-this truth which is based on the Sacred Writings, which is thoroughly rooted in the minds of the faithful, which has been approved in ecclesiastical worship from the most remote times, which is completely in harmony with the other revealed truths, and which has been expounded and explained magnificently in the work, the science, and the wisdom of the theologians-we believe that the moment appointed in the plan of divine providence for the solemn proclamation of this outstanding privilege of the Virgin Mary has already arrived.

Answer 4

Revelation 12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Read verse 6. Did Mary flee to the wilderness in the Bible?

More can be said.

GOD bless

Answer 5

That's the Jewish people, not Mary. Mary is dead. The Jewish people are called "God's wife" throughout the Old Testament.

Did Mary have 12 children? No. But she did have sex with Joseph after the miracle virgin birth of Jesus, and had several children. But not 12.

Answer 6

It sound exactly as the imagery of Our lady of Guadalupe.
