Commentary
Revelation 12 is a powerful chapter that speaks of the cosmic battle between good and evil. It begins with a vision of a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. This woman is identified as the mother of the Messiah, and she is in labor, giving birth to a son who will rule the nations with an iron scepter. This is a reference to Jesus, the Son of God, who will ultimately triumph over evil.
