Q: God tells Rebekah, I will quote, "And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb./and the elder shall serve the younger."(Ge.25:23). On what basis Eve signifies the Woman clothed with the Sun in the vision, and not Rebekah?"
A: Simple. The vision given to John is about the divine Will on the basis of the whole Testament and not merely restricted to blessings given to Abraham as the father of many nations. The covenant sets "them" each representing power and wisdom principle respectively so 'dominion over over His creation has to cover man "after our image". Eve has a distinct role after our likeness"-she is the Mother of all living. The virtue of Rebekah, on that basis, as the rivalry of Jacob and Esau unfolds, is a sad commentary of the domestic unity between her and Isaac becoming frayed.
Seven days as stated in the covenant gives a volume to the man blessed in Jesus Christ. Each Christian shall have his salvation in his Son so the same charge first given to man and woman, over all living cannot be shortchanged. By the same token he tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself has to prove the quality. Simply faith is not enough. Abiding in the Man component fruit shall be abundant. (Ge.1:11) Justification is not simply good enough to be caught upto the throne.
Each heart a spiritual space where the iconography of Re.ch.12 shall fit. Except a child of God is vigilant he is open to the wiles of the red dragon. Each of us travail as St Paul, "For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life./Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."( 2 Co.5:4-5) It is about this' life' heavenly Jerusalem he spoke in an allegory. Zion/ Jerusalem, the mother of all living. (Gal.4:26)
