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:
This is that woman of whom the promise runs, "The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent’s head." John saw this in a vision in the heavenly places; he saw the Church of God, enthroned, made glorious, clothed with the sun, having the brightness of divine light about her, with all that is variable, changeable as "the moon under her feet, and upon her head the crown "that her Lord had given, her " - twelve patriarchs, twelve prophets, twelve apostles, a complete number of glorious lights kindled from heaven.
