The great moment of the Woman’s triumph, a victory won by her Son’s blood, lies far in the future. Before that victory comes confusion, darkness, the great battle with satan, the collapse of worldly structures and persecutions.
The Woman has tried to prepare the Church for these moments and even to lead the Church on an easier path to victory, but her words have been set aside. Many have never heard. Others have not responded. She has, however, gathered her little flock who are attentive to her every word. These lights are hidden for now, kept safe in the children’s hearts. Finally, she will send her great messenger whom she has prepared for so long, her priest son. Only when she raises him up will it be the time for the hidden lights to be placed on the lampstand of the Church.
