Revelation of John, chapter 12
1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
The system of twelve stars has the authority over the woman, (Crown means authority.) that is the woman subordinates to the system of 12 stars. 12 stars on the head of the woman means that brain is not all what she has, but she is clever with the mind of 12 stars. So, the woman is controlled by 12 stars which complement her brain for much greater mind. (The woman however has not lost her own mind and will, the stars are on her head to complement her brain but they do not replace her own mind completely.)
But indeed the woman is clothed with the sun, the sun (which is as we now know is a small star) is just her clothes. When we move our clothes move after us, we control all movements of our clothes. So, sun is completely controlled by the woman.
Who controls who: 12 stars -> the woman -> Sun.
Here we have a reverse order, the woman controls Sun instead of how it would be more natural if Sun would control she.
This woman can control Sun because she has mind 12 stars every of which is much greater than Sun. The 12 stars use the this woman on the Earth to control Sun; they control the woman, which in turn controls Sun.
A natural question to ask, Why 12 stars do not control Sun directly, why they need a woman as an intermediary? I don't know sure answer. I however may tell two possible explanations:
In whatever reasons that has happened, the order was reversed. And as a result this woman received a great benefit, she has become the representative of that 12 stars in Solar system, rather than just a common woman.
Result: We have got a woman which is as clever as 12 stars, because her head is controlled by 12 stars. And she (really not she but 12 stars) has control over Sun, that is has control over anything which is controllable in all Solar system.
I have also missed moon under her feet
in the above Bible quote. I understand it literally, as that the woman will be an astronaut and fly to the Moon. I don't know what will be her mission at the Moon. (Maybe, she just accomplishes a hired job and so earns money with high paid job of an astronaut.)
Revelation of John, chapter 12
2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
...
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God, and to his throne.
Contrary to what it may seem, here it is not said that the woman gave birth to the child in the future, it is past grammar time not future. So it may be interpreted as saint Mary, mother of Jesus. Rev 12:5 clearly can be interpreted as a verse about Jesus (especially compared with certain similar verses of Bible). So, yes, the woman can be interpreted as Mary, mother of Jesus.
But if Mary is an astronaut and fly to the Moon, then she shall return to the Earth again, to the time when there will be space technologies. Traditional Christianity teaches that there are no reincarnation, but I believe that in the last days before Second Come of Christ spirits of stars (which dead saints has become) will return onto the Earth. This includes that saint Mary will return.
So one of the interpretations of the woman in chapter 12 of Revelation of John is saint Mary, mother of Jesus, returned to the Earth in our time.
Note that the saint Mary herself is much greater than 12 stars, she is an inter-galaxy being, the 12 stars are in turn controlled by Mary (by Mary here I understand not a human but the angel). However now it is not the topic of my preaching.
Revelation of John, chapter 12
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
Before so called dragon
(a creature controlled by Satan) was thrown down to the Earth, he has not persecuted the woman. Satan was interested only in war with stars themselves not with particular means they may use (such as this woman controlled with 12 stars which in turn controls the Sun), he started to persecute the woman only after he was thrown down (that is lost his power) to the Earth (so that he becomes able to act only on the Earth). So (accordingly the opinion of Satan) the woman despite of its control over the Sun was not important, Satan assumes that if he will kill the woman, the 12 stars anyway can take control over the Sun again, so it is not worth to kill she. Thrown to the Earth, Satan however continues to do his best (that is worst) what he can do against normal function of the Sun, that is attacking the woman of 12 stars (however Satan already can do nothing).
Revelation of John, chapter 12
17 The dragon grew angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep God's commandments and hold Jesus' testimony.
The dragon is shown to be just angry (not reasonable), he already can do nothing to win but indeed continues the war.
And here it is again confirmed that the woman can be interpreted as Mary, mother of Jesus; as these who keep God's commandments and hold Jesus' testimony (that is Christians) are called her seed
