Based on that it doesn’t make sense to say, “It’s a fact that He was definitely speaking about this, not that.” We can analyze Revelation, but we can’t prove what God was saying. In my view, that Rev 12 woman is Jesus’ mother, Mary. If you want, I’ll gladly talk with you re: this in the library. There we can discuss what doesn’t make sense to you. It makes plenty of sense to me as a Catholic. | |
| Sep 12, 2019 at 11:43 | comment | added | John Martin | @Caleb (&Jas 3.1) I’m not understanding the comment that the Catholic Church’s interpretation is an “(im)possibility” (See Caleb’s Jul 1 ’12 comment. I don’t know if Caleb is the one claiming it's impossible). What I will say is this. Jas 3.1’s answer is easily the best answer below. The Book of Revelation is unlike other books in Scripture. It’s also unveiling future events. It’s unlike so many other Bible books in that it does not give those regular facts to note, orders to follow, etc. It makes readers try to open their | |

| Mar 25, 2014 at 22:14 | comment | added | Caleb | @JohnMartin Why? The answer I'm commenting on slips-up in ignoring the existence of Catholic commentators in suggesting that nobody could see it another way. I am pointing out that many somebodies do in-fact see it the way he suggests it cannot be seen. Rather than ignoring this large body of commentary, I think he should acknowledge that it exists — bring it into play and show (with hermeneutical reasoning) how it fits the pieces or how it fails. | |
| Mar 25, 2014 at 16:55 | comment | added | Caleb | @JohnMartin That's not really how this works. Some things can be fixed by third party edits, but the sort of re-focusing I suggested would need to come from the author. I've given my suggestion for how the answer could me improved. It's up to Jas to try to implement it or not; he already has my upvote this is just a suggested for fixing one area where it is weak. If I was going to do it I would spend the time answering myself. | |

| Jul 1, 2012 at 5:49 | comment | added | Caleb | @Jas3.1 Your answer is excellent and I agree with the conclusion, however in point 3 at the end it hinges entirely on your assertion that no interpretation of this passage no matter how metaphoric can be seen to be filled in Mary. The Catholic church claims it was. In order to make sense of that (im)possibility I think one must bring the weight of the rest of scripture to bear on the matter. Your interpretation is good, but depends on your view on several issues going into the interpretation process. Rather than depending on your assumptions, why not let it depend on other scripture? | |

| Jun 30, 2012 at 0:41 | comment | added | Jas 3.1 | @Caleb I thought it was funny that your linked answer and my answer (below) arrived at the same conclusion, even though my emphasis was on how we need to understand it in the context of the passage which contains it, and your emphasis was on how it can't be understood without the context of Scriptures outside of the passage which contains it! (We probably agree in practice, but it was funny to me how we were making somewhat opposite points.) | |
