Revelation 12:1

[A new parenthesis is inserted into the narrative. In the previous paragraph, the seventh trumpet sounded, see Rev 11:15–19. Its effects on earth are first discussed in chapter 16. The following paragraph now describes a number of different actors in the conclusion of history. They are described as signs, Greek semeion. Since this word is used, it indicates that what follows are symbols that need to be interpreted. What is described is the struggle between God and Satan that has been going on since the beginning of the world. The seven main actors in this chapter are:
• The woman – the Jewish people, see Rev 12:1.
• The dragon – Satan, the devil who opposes God's purposes and deceives, see Rev 12:3, 9.
• The Son – Jesus, who now sits at God's throne, see Rev 12:5. • Michael – the archangel who fights against the dragon, see Rev 12:7. • The woman's children – persecuted believers, see Rev 12:13–17. • The beast from the sea – a future world leader, see Rev 13:2–10. • The beast from the earth – the false prophet, see Rev 13:11–18.]
A great sign [a strong and clear symbol describing spiritual reality] appeared in heaven:
a woman clothed with the sun
and with the moon under her feet
and on her head a crown (victory wreath) of twelve stars.
[In Joseph's dream, the sun is likened to his father Jacob, the moon to his mother Rachel, and his eleven brothers to eleven stars, see Gen. 37:9–10. At this time, before the captivity in Egypt, this family constituted the entire nascent nation of Israel. God often compares his people to a woman, see Ezek. 16. The woman symbolizes God's people, primarily the Jewish people throughout the ages.]
