Yep, make a simple typo that traditionally and did blow your mind. Meant Rev
12:5 but typed Rev 5. Your tiny mind is easily challenged, ike.
>It's not.
>Second, the fool doesn't know one woman from the other.
>In Rev 5, the "woman" is Israel, as represented by Mary.
>In Rev 12, the "woman" is the Church, as a unified whole, and NOT MARY.
Go ahead and continue to hang yourself.
And sorry, Mary as Queen of Heaven had a son that rules the world with an iron
rod. So it's very, very easy to say "I'm right and YOU'RE wrong.

12 gates, 12 tribes, 12 apostles. It could go on and on and on.
12 - (Twelve) - THERE WERE Twelve Tribes of Israel who were the sons of Jacob.
When Jacob gave his blessing to his twelve sons, he was referring not only to
twelve individuals, but also to the development of twelve attributes to be
awakened in the human soul. These paralleled the twelve characteristics of the
twelve signs of the zodiac (Genesis 49:1-28). The work of these twelve sons
dominated most of the Old Testament. Each tribe expressed the qualities of one
sign of the zodiac and responded to a certain number. No tribe was wholly good
or bad. These twelve signs and their corresponding numbers are operative in the
lives of every individual, for each person indeed is a miniature universe.
Jesus chose to have twelve apostles. These also relate in character to the
twelve signs of the zodiac to make a complete gathering of types of people in
the inner circle of followers of Jesus. Thus the vibration al force under the
number 12 belongs to the developed soul who has accumulated unusual inner
strength through many and varied experiences.
