‘A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head’ Revelation 12:1. We’ve all heard some good made-up, and clever fake, prophecies.
History, records countless ‘end of the world’ predictions which have been proclaimed and repeatedly proven wrong. Despite fervent predictions and widespread anticipation, and clever use of Bible verses and speeches, all end time predictions failed.
Christian imaginations run wild.
I was thinking very freely about the Bible text Revelation 12:1
‘A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head’
No woman has set foot on the moon yet. But one day it will happen. As I write this blog, Christina Koch, is breaking a record on Artemis 2. She’s the first woman astronaut ever assigned to a lunar mission marking the first time a woman has ventured into deep space and right at this moment she’s paving the way for a female astronaut to land on the surface in a later mission https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65165845#:~:text=Christina%20Koch%20will%20be%20the%20first%20woman,for%20a%20touchdown%20by%20a%20subsequent%20crew.
I wildly imagine in the not-too-distant future, a woman standing confidently on the lunar surface for the first time. There she is…….
‘a woman…., with the moon under her feet’
Revelation 12:1
I imagine the woman with the ‘moon under her feet’ to be essentially a European woman. She’s wearing a space helmet labelled with a European Flag. It’s the,
‘European Union (Flag of Europe). Adopted in 1985, this flag features 12 gold stars in a circle, (crown)representing unity, solidarity, and harmony, rather than the number of member states’ …. Wikipedia.
The woman’s space helmet provides a reinforced field of vision and a critical oxygen supply. And the 12 starred flag icon on her helmet is a badge of European unity and pride. I wildly imagine it to be the crowning moment of biblical prophecy. As the woman stands with the moon under her feet the European union flag etched on her space helmet is the very,
‘crown of twelve stars on her head’ Revelation 12:1
Ah, but the female European space heroin is not flustered. She takes it all in her stride, as she bunny hops and crab walks, the lunar surface maintaining her balance.
Yes, I’m certain. The woman is a European astronaut.
‘Yes, it is highly likely a woman astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA) will walk on the moon in the future. While the first woman to walk on the moon on Artemis III will be American, ESA astronauts are scheduled to participate in later Artemis missions, with European leadership actively pushing for a European to land on the surface by the end of the decade’….

And for sure, my wildly imagined European ‘spacette’ is
‘a woman clothed with the sun’ Revelation 12:1
Did you know? During each Apollo moonwalk, the astronauts were always exposed to direct sunlight. Because the moon has no atmosphere to scatter light, the sun shines with full immense intensity, creating a stark bright environment paired to a black sky. https://armaghplanet.com/nasas-lunar-rover-everything-you-need-to-know.html#:~:text=By%20the%20way%2C%20all%20Apollo%20landings%20took,star%20gazing%20would%20have%20been%20very%20tricky.
The sun’s immense intense rays (clothe) burn directly against the space girl as she stands with the moon under her feet, but she’s protected from all radiation.
Little did she know her greatest moon mission coincided and culminated in the birth of the apocalypse for humankind, Revelation 12:2.
She stood on the moon during a time of emerging new technologies, new histories, new futures, new buildings, new sciences, new wars, new temptations, new ideologies, new deceptions, new ailments and new plagues.
But there was no ‘new world order’.
As the woman stood with the moon under her feet, the world entered into the final moments, of its last days 2 Timothy 3:1ff. 2 Peter 3:3ff
It's just my imagination running away with me.
