What does the Bible say about the woman in Revelation 12?

Answered in 4 sources

The woman in Revelation 12 symbolizes the Church, clothed with the sun and about to give birth to Christ, representing the miraculous work of God's salvation.

In Revelation 12, the woman symbolizes the Church which is portrayed as clothed with the sun, representing God's glory and the warmth of His truth. John uses this imagery to illustrate the eternal purpose of God concerning His people, especially in the context of the church giving birth to Jesus Christ, the God-man. This reflects the wonder of God’s plan in history, whereby He uses His covenant people to bring forth the Messiah. The woman's position, with her feet upon the moon, signifies her authority and the victory of God's plan against the forces of evil. Importantly, this vision of the woman encompasses not only the physical birth of Jesus but also the continuing existence and mission of the church throughout history, as she endures persecution yet remains nourished by God.
