Rv 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab Signs: sun-clothed stars-crowned woman, moon under feet, with child, wailing, laboring; 7-headed 10-horned dragon with diadems; tail hurled stars; stood before woman to devour child. Bore son, destined to rule, caught up to God. “Salvation, power, God's Kingdom, Anointed's authority have come.”
Ps 45:10, 11, 12, 16 The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.
1 Cor 15:20-27 Death, resurrection came through man, In Adam all die; in Christ shall all be brought to life.
Lk 1:39-56 Elizabeth: “Blessed you; blessed the fruit of your womb. Infant leaped." Mary: "Magnificat: soul proclaims Lord's greatness; spirit rejoices. All will call me blessed. Almighty has done great things; holy his Name. He has mercy, showed strength, scattered proud, cast down mighty, lifted up lowly, filled hungry, sent rich away, helped Israel, remembered his promise.”
