>>>Yes and I believe this makes Israel the woman of Revelation 12.<<<

Where does it say Israel was the Mother of anything? Recall Israel played the “whore,” the “harlot,” and the sorceress. In Rev 18:23 it says that by her “sorceries were all nations deceived.” Why would Christ destroy his own mother as he did to Israel in 70 AD?

Jerusalem from above, on the other hand, is the mother of us all (Galatians 4:25-26.) What does that mean, “mother of us all?” How can “she” not be the mother in Revelation 12 if she is the mother of us all?

I will respond to the remainder of your letter, later.

Maybe I am reading the types wrong but it seems to me that the wife of God would be the mother of his children.
