2. A WOMAN. A pure woman in prophecy represents the true church, or the body of God's people. Says the prophet, "I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman." Jer. 6:2. "I have espoused you to one husband," says an apostle to a church, "that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ." 2 Cor. 11:2. The woman seen in heaven, upheld by the power of God, is therefore the symbol of the people or church, the ekklesia, called-out ones of God.
