The vision uses powerful images to describe how Satan tries to destroy God’s people, but God protects and cares for His church. Even though the church faces many dangers, God’s power and promises keep her safe and lead to victory. v. 1–2 : The church is pictured as a woman. She is weak by herself but precious to Christ and the mother of all believers. She is clothed with the sun , which means she is covered in Jesus’s righteousness. The moon under her feet shows she is above the world and its changing things. She has a crown of twelve stars , which stands for the teaching of the twelve apostles—a great honor for believers. She is in pain, about to give birth, longing to bring more people to Christ.

The Woman and the Dragon

This section shows the great struggle between the church and Satan, just as God said there would be enmity between the woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed (Genesis 3:15 ^a). The vision uses powerful images to describe how Satan tries to destroy God’s people, but God protects and cares for His church. Even though the church faces many dangers, God’s power and promises keep her safe and lead to victory.

v. 1–2: The church is pictured as a woman. She is weak by herself but precious to Christ and the mother of all believers. She is clothed with the sun, which means she is covered in Jesus’s righteousness. The moon under her feet shows she is above the world and its changing things. She has a crown of twelve stars, which stands for the teaching of the twelve apostles—a great honor for believers. She is in pain, about to give birth, longing to bring more people to Christ.
