Revelation 12:2
She being with child cried. Again we must let the Scripture explain
its own meaning. "As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her
children" (Isaiah 66:8). The travail of Zion causeth an increase.
See also Isaiah 54:1 49:20, where the same figure is used. The state
of the woman therefore implies a Church in sorrow, a suffering Church,
but out of whose suffering there cometh an increase of the saints. It
is a period when the saints are multiplied in the midst of persecution.
