NO, because I showed that the symbolic "woman" of the SPECIFIC Revelation 12:1-2 verses was about OLD TESTAMENT Israel, and NOT the New Testament Church!
Nope. You’ve completely misunderstood the text.
The woman of Revelation 12:1 is
Covenant Israel—the Bride of all the Elect gathered from both the Old and the New Testaments.
Revelation 12:2–5 makes it unmistakable: the Old Testament congregation was that Woman, groaning until the promised Messiah came forth. Christ’s birth, baptism, ministry, and sacrificial death all occurred within that Old Testament covenant framework. And at the Cross, the kingdom representation was
taken from unbelieving Israel—just as Christ declared in Matthew 21:43:
“The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”
Then, after Christ ascended to His throne in heaven,
Revelation 12:6 shows the Woman now representing the New Testament Church, fleeing into the wilderness of the world—where she is preserved by God to proclaim the gospel among the nations. This is the body to whom the kingdom representation was handed!
Revelation 12:7–11 further describes the spiritual war—Christ and His true believers against the Pharisees, scribes, and all the Jews who rejected Him within the Old Covenant congregation. They were
cast out—no longer the representatives of the kingdom of heaven. Their house was left desolate (Matthew 23:38). With Christ confirming the new covenant (Daniel 9:27; Luke 22:20), the kingdom was established in the true rebuilt temple:
the New Testament Church, the temple made without hands. Salvation belongs to those who overcome
“by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).
So stop twisting the Scriptures. The Covenant Israel of Revelation 12:1 never changes—it is one people of God across both covenants. What changed was the
kingdom representation: from Old Testament Israel to the New Testament Church. To cling to a carnal, nationalistic Israel is to deny Christ’s finished work and to blind yourself to the true bride, the true Israel of God (Galatians 6:16).
The link to the New Testament Church does not come into the Rev.12 subjects until verse 6! and particularly verse 17.
Congratulations.
The New Testament Church started at Revelation 12:6 as I explained in red bold above. It is all about the congregation representative. Not the woman herself.
And you KNEW that's how I covered that, but you instead want to twist and fib about that??
Because you got the Woman of Revelation 12:1 wrong. She did not represent
solely Old Testament Israel. She represents all Elect in Christ.
about that dream Joseph had per the Genesis 37 Chapter until I pointed it out, which is where those Rev.12:1 symbols of the sun and moon and eleven stars originated!
Sigh… you’re still missing it. The woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and crowned with twelve stars (Revelation 12:1) is not some fanciful allegory of national Israel apart from Christ. She "IS" the
congregation of Israel—Covenant Israel—the people of God. This begins
with Old Testament Israel and continues with the New Testament Israel, the Church of Jesus Christ. There is one Bride, one Body, one Covenant people (Ephesians 2:14–16; Galatians 3:28–29).
Christ Himself affirms this in Matthew 24:29–31:
Mat 24:29-31
(29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(30)
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
(31) And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
This is not about national Israel. This is the New Testament Congregation going apostate. That’s why the imagery of sun, moon, and stars collapsing is used: it signifies the outward, visible
external congregation being judged. The external church—once clothed in glory—will by that time have
degenerated into a harlot (Revelation 17), aligning herself with the world. By the end, she is unmasked as
Babylon the Great:
Rev 18:2
(2) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Do you see it? The sun, moon, and stars are darkened because the visible church has forsaken her light and whored after the world. That’s why judgment comes. For anyone to deny this and keep clinging to some carnal vision of ethnic Israel is to mock the cross of Christ and blind themselves to what Scripture plainly teaches: the kingdom has already been taken from unbelieving Jews who represented the Old Testament congregation at the Cross and given to the Church (Matthew 21:43), three days later, who produce fruits!
The woman of Revelation 12 never ceases to be Covenant Israel—she is the one Bride made up of all Elect from both congregations in CHRIST.
