How do we know that Christ represents the church in Revelation 12?

Answered in 1 source

Christ represents the Church as her head, and the woman signifies the redeemed community united in Him.

The imagery in Revelation 12 illustrates that Christ is the head of the Church, symbolized by the woman adorned with a crown of twelve stars. This crown is not only indicative of victory but also highlights Christ's role as the source of authority and strength. As the head, Christ shares His righteousness and assures victory to His Bride—the Church. The twelve stars can be interpreted as the foundational truths of the apostles' preaching, reinforcing that the identity of the Church is inseparably linked to Christ, who empowers and embodies her with His glory.
