The Bride of Christ

 “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Then an astonishing miracle-sign appeared in heaven. I saw a woman clothed with the brilliance of the sun, and the moon was under her feet. She was wearing on her head a victor’s crown of twelve stars.  Who is this young woman?  She looks like the dawn.  She is beautiful like the moon, pure like the sun, awe inspiring like those heavenly bodies.  The Church is figuratively spoken of as a woman.  The description of her “clothed with the sun” points to the victorious Church about to give birth to a company of believers who will do the great works of Jesus and spread the brilliance of His glory throughout the earth.  The overcoming Bride of Christ is seen as a woman “clothed with the sun”.  Solomon spoke prophetically in his Song, “Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?”  Prophetically spoken and fulfilled in the Bride of Christ.  Let’s be aware of what God has called us to do in Christ and as His Bride, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Amen!
