In Revelation 12:1–2, a woman is described as being “clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” Some interpretations identify this woman symbolically as the nation of Israel (e.g., relating the twelve stars to the twelve tribes).
Which Christian denominations or theological traditions explicitly interpret the woman as representing the nation of Israel and the dragon’s flood (Revelation 12:15) as a form of Jewish persecution throughout history?
Additionally, how do these groups justify this interpretation from the text?
