Rev. 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man ChildOh, yes, a major adjustment.’ Peter nodded. ‘The mind needs to calm down. It could take days to ease into the rhythm of this place. Maybe weeks.’ The Catholic Church teaches that Mary never sinned, never had sex with Joseph (even after they married), never died, and that she is now the "Queen of Heaven”. (See Jeremiah 7:8, to learn what God thinks about this title!) Not one of these claims about Mary is taught in the Bible, but they have grown out of Catholic tradition. One Woman’s Wilderness is not only about the woods and peace; it is also about her bad days. It is very pleasant to see the plethora of emotions, conditions, and beautiful mornings leading to stormy evenings or vice versa. She is also making it possible for those who are not able to enjoy nature due to some reasons to feel refreshed through her content by just taking out 8 to 10 minutes in a day. How beautiful is their story, how human, or maybe even more than human: people living with and in nature, in connection with the earth and each other, in contrast to so many human beings on our planet. Isn’t this a life many people would want to live? I know I would.
When I saw Miriam and Peter for the first time in Floortje Dessing naar het einde van de wereld, I think I fell a little bit in love with these two wonderful people. The Dark Ages were dark for many reasons, as life without the light of Christ and His righteousness is dark in many ways. But the focus of the passage is on the light that is still shining during this time, in spite of the fiendish attempts to put it out. But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where, far from the serpent, she was taken care of for a year, two years, and a half-year.She says women worry about being eaten by wild animals or being murdered by a mentally unstable predator, like they’ve seen in Nordic noir. Interestingly, the women at her readings in Holland are usually aged between 40 and 50; maybe they are drawn to Miriam’s story because they see hers as the alternative life they could have led if only they’d been bolder and conformed less. Younger women still have the big decisions – and regrets – ahead of them. What do the women who write to her tell her the book inspired them to do? “One woman said: ‘You inspired me to get a divorce.’ If you want to be more content, sometimes you have to change your life completely.” Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. … 13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:6, 13-17
