Changes

819. The Woman is not the Virgin Mary merely, nor the man child Jesus, whom Herod sought to slay. These typify, but do not fill out full the vision of John. He saw the Dragon watching for the child before it was born, while Herod knew not of the child Jesus until after His birth, nor could he guess the time of the birth but within a space of two years. And then, the child Jesus was not, as John saw, “caught up” when born, but long afterwards. Nor did Mary and her babe part company, when she fled, but she fled with the babe in her arms; and Egypt was not a “wilderness” anyway.
