Hephzibah, The Woman Clothed with the Sun Wearing a Crown of Twelve Stars
In Revelation 12 the woman with the crown of twelve stars is the Faithful Remnant of Israel in the Old Testament who remained faithful to Yahveh. She is now dressed in the sun (the New Testament) and stands on the firm foundation of the moon (the Old Testament). She was known as the Virgin Daughter of Israel who was wed to the Messiah and received a new name: Hephzibah, She brought forth a Man-child (the New Israel, the New Nation whose king is Yahshuah,. The seven-headed dragon (Satan) tried to kill the child (Christianity) at its birth but Yahveh protected it.
Some may argue that Christianity is not a single man but a group of people. Ephesians 2:15 says the faithful Remnant along with the believing gentiles have been made by Christ into "one new person", "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, an holy nation." 1Peter 2:9)
"Shall a nation be born at once?" (Isaiah 66.8).
Yes, in the spring of 34 A.D., on Pentecost, 3000 Jews from every nation, speaking many different languages, became the new nation of Christianity. Within 3 days the new nation numbered 10,000. Since that time the dragon (Satan) has unsuccessfully been at war with Christianity. Millions have been martyred, and as we approach the end of the world, countless more will be.
