The Woman and the Dragon in revelation 12
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2011 1:24 pm
OK has anyone heard the view that the The Woman and the Dragon in revelation 12 is referring to the constellation Virgo and other constellations?
Some say it represents the time Jesus was born others say it represents the time Jesus will return.
here is one view:
Revelation 12:1-5 "A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman (constellation Virgo) clothed with the sun (just below the horizon), with the moon (male-child) under her feet and a crown of twelve stars (constellation Bernice) on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon (constellation Draco) with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child (moon), who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne."
Anyone have any info on these views and are they right or wrong?
