Why is symbolism of the moon significant in Revelation 12?

Answered in 1 source

The moon symbolizes the Church's reflection of Christ's light and her faith-based journey.

In Revelation 12, the moon represents the Church's function as a reflector of Christ's glory and truths. Just as the moon shines at night by reflecting the sun's light, the Church is called to shine forth the light of the gospel, communicating the brilliance and redemptive power of Christ. The moon being under her feet signifies that the Church walks by faith in Christ through all trials and tribulations, and also that she is upheld by His Word, which is a lamp unto her feet. This dual symbolism emphasizes both the Church's reliance on Christ and her active role in spreading His light amid a dark world.
