There is a lot of rich and powerful symbolism in Revelation 12:1-6, and we have to interpret the symbols correctly, to understand the reality behind them.

Two of the three symbols that appear here in these verses, are quite easy to identify, but the identity of the woman who appears clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and twelve stars in a crown around her head, is not easy to interpret, unless you see the symbolism and where else in scripture these symbols appear.
