It says here that “The Woman clothed with the sun (miniature by Gertrude of Landsberg, late 12th century) To the left of the Woman is the battle with the beast from the sea, to the right the red dragon is pouring a stream of water on her, and in the sky above her is her child, being caught up to the throne of God.” And so, as I understand it, this is the people and some continent or country where the Son of God was born, and around him, you see, all these demons have surrounded her from all sides. In the nearby continents, countries, revolutions were made over the last 10 years, authorities were seized everywhere, organizations with abbreviations were created, and they surround the woman clothed with the sun. Are you familiar with what’s happening outside the window right now? Next. “This image has found its reflection in visual art, both in works on the Apocalypse theme and in separate iconographic plots related to the Virgin Mary.
The story of the Woman is contained in Revelation, chapter 12: ‘...a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun; and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And she was with child, and cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.’ – Rev. 12:1 – 2
After the appearance of the Woman, John saw another sign – a red dragon with seven heads, crowned with diadems, and ten horns. The dragon with his tail “drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth,” and then stood before the Woman, waiting for her to give birth so he could devour the child.” What a greedy one, right?
“The Woman gave birth to ‘a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne’ (Rev. 12:5), and she herself, escaping from the dragon, fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, and ‘they nourished her there for one thousand two hundred sixty days.’ At this time a battle took place in heaven between the dragon and the archangel Michael. The dragon fell and began to persecute the Woman, who was given ‘two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness to her place from the serpent’s face, and there be nourished for a time, times, and half a time.’ The dragon, pursuing her, sent a stream of water after her, but the earth swallowed it. Then ‘the dragon was enraged with the Woman, and went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments
