The woman in the sky (Revelation 12:1-2) Part 2

Core text:

Something important appeared in the sky. It was a woman whose clothes were the sun. The moon was under her feet, and a crown made of twelve stars was on her head. She was about to give birth, and she was crying because of the great pain… (Revelation 12:1-4 CEV)

In our previous post we talked about the symbols of the woman in the sky. Today we are going to talk about the future. Can the woman in the sky say something about the end of the world?

We know that there will be pain in the end and that the church of God will have a difficult time. The woman in the sky can refer to both the past and future.

You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. (2 Timothy 3:1 CEV)

Concerning the Past: The woman appeared out of heaven she was pregnant! This reminds us of, Mary, the mother of Jesus! But this whole revelation was seen by John an apostle of Jesus. This ment that Jesus was already born when John had this vision! It could have been Mary being pregnant with Jesus.

Concerning the future: We know that there will be lots of pain in the last days before the apocalypse. The woman had pain because she was pregnant. The symbol could be as follows: the end of the world is going to be so painful that it can be compared to a woman giving birth.

But what does the woman being “pregnant” have to do with it. It could mean that a new church will emerge. House churches or charismatic churches for example. It could also mean that the people of God will have tremendous pain in the last days, so much pain that, as mentioned, it could be compared to a woman giving birth.
