Q: The Spirit has designated Eve as the mother of all living. If she is so, how is that the woman clothed with the Sun in the vision is identified and taught by churches as Israel?"
A: In order to illustrate what the children of God are up against in the present times we shall bring St Paul's quote:" But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."(Gal.4:22-26). The Spirit used St Paul to interpret the spiritual significance of this verse,"And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." (Ge.3:20). This is what comparing the spiritual with spiritual would mean. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God./Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."(1 Co.2:12-13). The woman in the wilderness in the vision of John is about sons of Adam as distinct from those who are led by the Spirit. in v.14 we read"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." Does anyone think a false teacher with one eye on the filthy lucre is interested in teaching wholesome doctrine.
As against Wisdom who built the house with seven pillars we have strange woman often presented in the Wisdom literature."Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well." Our very soul presents Jerusalem which is free, so slake your thirst from your own wells than from hell. "For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:/But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword./Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell."(Pr.5:3-5) What has miry clay drawn iron, in the King's dream? Zero and it shows.Dan.2:43
