This lesson, based on Revelation 12, focuses on the symbolic meaning of the woman clothed with the sun, identified as the nation of Israel rather than Mary. The speaker emphasizes that this chapter offers a prophetic depiction of Israel's role in the birth of Christ and its future during the Great Tribulation. The woman represents Israel, chosen by God, and the passage speaks of Israel's relationship to Jesus and its eventual deliverance.

The dragon, symbolizing Satan, stands ready to destroy the woman’s child, representing Christ, who is destined to rule the nations. The sermon clarifies that this woman cannot be Mary because the events described in Revelation do not align with Mary's life. Instead, the woman symbolizes Israel, which gives birth to Christ and continues to play a central role in end-time events, including fleeing into the wilderness for protection.

Brother James ties this understanding to other biblical passages, such as Deuteronomy, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, showing how the sun, moon, and stars are symbolic of Israel’s authority, the twelve tribes, and their divine purpose. The sermon insists that these symbols underscore Israel’s future reign through Christ during the second coming, contrasting modern interpretations that link the woman to Mary or the church.
