“It’s not Mary who is going to crush the serpent’s head, it’s Jesus.”

metmom,
The Latin Vulgate, the first Bible says “she” not “He” or “It.”
Everything is by God’s power, His Will, no on disagrees. It is by Christ’s power that Mary crushes the head of the serpent. If you say no, you have to explain...
How come the “woman” battles with the serpent in Revelation,
Chapter 12? Why doesn’t it say “It” or the masculine “He”,
why aren’t we reading the serpent battles the “man” Jesus?
Satan is called the serpent or the dragon.
Look at verse 13, “man” is mentioned once....
It says the “dragon” persecutes the “woman” who gives birth to the man child...
A lessor meaning for the “woman” is the Church, see why.
The Church didn’t give birth to Christ, Mary did.
Revelation 6:6-17
[6] And the WOMAN fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days. [7] And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the DRAGON, and the DRAGON fought and his angels: [8] And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And that great DRAGON was cast out, that old SERPENT, who is called the DEVIL and SATAN, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. [10] And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. [12] Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. [13] And when the DRAGON saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the WOMAN, who brought forth the man child: [14] And there were given to the WOMAN two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the SERPENT. [15] And the SERPENT cast out of his mouth after the WOMAN, water as it were a river; that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
[16] And the earth helped the WOMAN, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. [17] And the DRAGON was angry against the WOMAN: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I typed, Revelation Chapter 6. It should be Revelation, Chapter 12:6-17

The scripture was not initially written in Latin...

In the first part of the chapter you guys claim that the Woman is Mary...Mary then ran away and hid in the wilderness...No crushing Satan there...
And now all of a sudden the same Woman is the last of the chapter is the Roman Catholic Church...
Satan then sends a massive flood to kill the 'Woman' but the earth swallows up the water...Satan gets mad and then goes after the seed of the Woman...Nowhere does it say the Woman crushed the head of Satan...
Your religion made it up out of thin air and astoundingly, you guys believe it, even after reading what it does and doesn't say...
A little research into the pages of the OT will confirm to any honest researcher that the Woman of Revelation 12 is the Nation of Israel, not the Catholic religion...
