Overview & Insights
"A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet." (Revelation 12:1)
The heavenly temple opens to reveal the ark of the covenant, and a great sign appears: a woman clothed with the sun who gives birth to a son destined to rule the nations. A dragon waits to devour the child, but the child is caught up to God and the woman is kept safe.
