The Geography of Revelation 12
Methodius of Olympus, a 3rd century saint, acknowledges that the majority of early discussions about the text point to Mary. But he plans to be innovative and make it less Marian and more typological. The image of the ark in Revelation chapter 11 has already arisen in heaven. Then the text switches to an image of Mary who is referred to as woman in Revelation 12. Her children are all those who are of her seed, which is only used one other time in the Old or New Testament besides Genesis 3:15.
