My Thoughts: Mary must have had much council to This gospel, and Revelations.

Mary knew. Mary accepted what was offered to Her. To become the queen of heaven. Approached by an angel and informed completely as to Her task, Her reply, “Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to Your will.” And Mary said: "My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. Because he hath regarded the humility of His handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him."
As Christs’ mother Mary new more than any human as to Christs divinity and ultimate plan. She had revelation, when she said, "Do whatever he tells you". John 2:5. She knew Her son and His plan as God. She went home with John after His resurrection. Proof Jesus was an only child, Jewish custom was to give your mother to your best friend. On the cross he spoke to you by name before you were born, "Ecce Mater tua", "Disciple, behold your mother". This is where we became actual physical brothers and sisters of Jesus. Jesus made Mary your Mother. On His crucifixion it was John, his beloved disciple at that time. “Disciple." We are now the disciples whom Jesus loves. We carry on as disciples. and now we have Mary home as John did. We listen to Her, pray and ask for guidance from the Queen of Council. The more we listen to Mary, the more we pray to Her and ask Her for guidance, the more The Queen of Martyrs points us first hand directly to the Christ, Jesus Her son, our brother. This explains why The Gospel of John is so different than the synoptic Gospels. From the first lines the Gospel of John reads, "In the beginning was the Word, the spirit, the Church. And the Word was with God, Jesus Christ in the Eternal flesh, present before anything was ever created was ever created. And the Word was God, The Father, seated with Jesus, face to face. Right here, the trinity existed before creation. The Queen of Council also was the driving force for the information revealed in Revelations. John had the answers from Mary. Mary was there with John and gave council as to Jesus' role in a way that only the mother of God could know. He had the answers from Mary, the New Arc of the Covenant, the Queen of Martyrs, and God Bearer, Oh Blessed Mary.

Rev "And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that She might fly into the desert unto Her place, where She is nourished for a time and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent."

John 19:27 Then saith He to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took Her unto his own home.

You got it. Some translations make it "a year and two years and half a year" -- three and a half years total. Putting the Crucifixion and Resurrection in the early Spring of 30 AD, that would mean she lived with John until Fall of 33 AD.

Thanks for reading, thanks for the input God bless you, always.

And, what a special Mother our Blessed Mother is!

Please note that it is the Book of Revelation, singular.

Thanks Obi,
God Bless,

ditto!!!!!!!!

Just a bit of trivia -- what is the meaning in Revelation of the scroll written on both sides?

God provided a refuge for the Woman clothed in the sun? Where was that refuge?

We know to do as John did at the cross. From Jesus last breaths, Ecce Mater Tua, behold your
Mother, Take Her home.

Peace always.

The Bible clearly gives many examples of types showing Mary as the New Eve. After the Fall of man, “Adam named his wife Eve because she was the mother of all living (Gen. 3:20).” If Adam named her Eve because she was the mother of all living after death entered the world through sin, then how much more Mary is the mother of all living after sin was conquered through the victory that she and her son, Jesus Christ, the Son of God brought to everyone who believes?

Eve is Mary's mother and Mary is The Christs' Mother.

Eve is Mother of all the living souls, and Mary is the Mother of all the living Flesh.

Peace always,
