Section 17 About the moon of 12th chapter of Revelation: what is behind this image?

A theme about the moon concern about 8 places of the Holy Writings. The main of them is from the book the Song of Solomon, 6:10. This place has the direct relation to a question what the moon under feet of the woman means? Here this place: «Who is she that looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners? ». Here "moon" is an image of Church. The moon (earthly) shines light reflected from the sun. Light of Church which it shines is light of Christ's doctrine and his affairs. Like the Moon, the Church reflects light of the Christ which in the Scripture is named by the Sun of righteousness, Mal.4:2. Therefore Church is light as the sun. There is an objection, that Solomon in the book was written supposedly only about the only woman that is about the beloved. However this objection has no value as just one woman cannot look so terrible «as an army with banners». The set of regiments (i.e. an army) just specifies in Church which consists of many members. The Church also is fine if only is in a due condition and if to her it is not told «repent», Rev.2: 5, 15, 22; 3: 3, 19. As under feet of the woman is the MOON it means, that the woman stands in Church, that is the Jews who have believed in Israel become the Church part. Then Jesus words will be executed: « And there shall be one fold and one shepherd », John.10:16.
