v.1 "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"
Compare these 12 stars with the seven stars in the right hand of the risen Christ. The whole number Seven establishes the Law of the Spirit according to the Covenant has entrusted the blessed unto his hands."And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."( Jn 10.28-29) The seven candlesticks in the vision represent entire body of believers on earth and liable to changes of the churches are not careful. One third are likely to fall off. Whereas the crown of 12 stars are those who have run the race and entered into the joy of the Lord. This seal of approval is a testimony of the gospel.

The Spirit tags her with time,times and half a time., 'into her place and it ultimately shall stop in the outer darkness. (Rev.12.14; Eccle.3.1)
