      COMMENTARIES

 

      MATTHEW HENRY

      12:1-6  The church, under the emblem of a woman, the mother of believers, was seen by the
      apostle in a vision, in heaven. 
      She was clothed with the sun, justified, sanctified, and shining by union with Christ, the Sun of
      Righteousness.

     The moon was under her feet; she was superior to the reflected and feebler light of the 
      revelation made by Moses.
                                 
     Having on her head a crown of twelve stars; the doctrine of the gospel, preached by the twelve
     apostles, is a crown of glory to all true believers.

     As in pain to bring forth a holy family; desirous that the conviction of sinners might end in
     their conversion.

      A dragon is a known emblem of Satan, and his chief agents, or those who govern for him on
     earth, at that time the pagan empire of Rome, the city built upon seven hills.
                
     As having ten horns, divided into 10 kingdoms.

     Having seven crowns, representing seven forms of government.

      As drawing with his tail a third part of the stars in heaven, and casting them down to earth; 
     persecuting and seducing ministers and teachers.

     As watchful to crush the Christian religion; but in spite of the opposition of ebemies, the
     church brought forth a manly issue of true and faithful professors, in whom Christ was truly
     formed anew; even the mystery of Christ that Son of God who should rule the nations, and in
     whose right his members partake the same glory.  This blessed offspring was protected
     of God. 

      IMMANUEL SWEDENBORG

     12:1-2

     The Bible portrays the great controversy between Christ and Satan in terms of three
     characters the Dragon, the woman,  and the Man Child.  They are first introduced in Eden
     where the Dragon (Serpent) won an initial engagement with the woman, between his seed and
     her seed.

     Ultimate victory comes through a single seed of the woman, who crushes the serpent's head, at
     same time suffering a deadly bite to the heel.

     Genesis 3:15 

     Chapter 12 of Revelation portrays the whole sweet drama from its origin in heaven to Satan's
     attack on Jesus, through the persecutions of the Dark Ages, until the final conflict at the end.

     Throughout the Bible a pure "woman" is a symbol of God's pure church while a harlot   
     represents a corrupt church .

     Hosea 1:2
     Ezekiel 16:2
     2 Corinthians 11:2

     She is said to be "clothed with the sun" the glory of the gospel of Christ, and have "the moon
     under her feet," the reflected glory of Christ as foreshadowed in the Old Testament sanctuary
     service and rituals.

     John 8:12
     Collosians 2:11-17
                                 
     The "crown of 12 stars" represents the 12 apostles.

     The woman who gives birth to Messiah represents the true church through its entire history -
     from Adam and the Jewish nation to the Christian Church.
                                                                     

     EDGAR CAYCE

     Question:  What is meant by the symbol of the child in Revelation 12?

     Answer:  That which is the outgrowth of the application of the Word or the Book. upon self
     For as the child it is born of application of the elements in the body! (physical, mental and  
     spiritual) of the indivudual.                                 

     MADAME HELENA BLAVATSKY

     12 1-2                                 

     THE WOMAN

     The student of Lepsius, Champollion, and other Egyptologists will quickly recognize Isis as the
     "woman with child",  "clothed with the Sun and with the moon under her feet", whom the
     "great fiery Dragon" persecuted, and to whom "were given two wings of the Great Eagle that
      she might fly into the wilderness."

     Typhon was red-skinned.

 

      BRIAN PEPPER   (1916-1995)

     12:1

     commentary not yet uploaded to the internet.
 

      TIM LAHAYE 12:2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be  
      delivered.

         Women, who have had children, know that there is in pain involved in birth.
     This Sripture is spiritually speaking of the birth of Jesus and of Christianity.

     The birth pains refer to the period before the birth of Christ when Israel was waiting

       for redemption by the Messiah.
      (Rom. 8:22, 23).

 

      JOHN WESLEY

     12:2

     And she being with child cried, travailing in birth - The very pain, without any outward  

      opposition would constrain a woman in travail to cry out.  These cries, throes, and pains to be  
     delivered were the painful longings, the sighs, and prayers of the saints for the coming of the   
     kingdom of God.  The woman groaned and travailed in spirit, that Christ might appear,
     as the Shepherd and King of all nations.    
                             

     FIRE BIBLE
                                 
    (no comment - see page Rev:12:1

     JEREMIAH BIBLE
     12: 1-2

     The first sign is that of a woman.  This is not a real woman, instead, she represents Israel often 

       described by the prophets as a woman in travail,

      Isaiah. 26:17, 66-9, Micah 4:9.

     Here she is trying to give birth to a child - The Lord Jesus Christ.

 
     ABINGDON BIBLE

     12:1-6  A woman arrayed with the sun is about to give birth to a son.  A red dragon stands 
     ready to devour the child when he is born.  The child is caought up to God and the woman flees
     to a place in the wilderness prepared by God For her.

     In the original myth, which has pagan and has elements derived from the mythologies derived
      of Babylon, Egypt and Greece, the woman was a goddess, cclothed witih the sun, with her feet
     on the moon as a footstool, and her crown studded with the signs of the zodiac.

     This description John follows, but it has no special significance for him.  In its Jewish form the
      story represented the expected birth of the Messiah from the Jewish church.  John has
      adapted this to the birth of Christ.  The woman is therefore the true Israel. 

     In the Old Testament, the spiritual Israel is the spouse of God; in this book elsewhere the Bride
     of Christ.
