The World
Surrounded by an evergreen wreath of eternal life, the woman reveals the ultimate joy and freedom when all things are reconciled, a time prophetically displayed in Israel's year of Jubilee when all debts were forgiven and all slaves set free.
She is naked and unashamed as the paradise of the Lovers but also clothed in majestic purple with a holy head covering. Into clouds, she steps out freely in the new beginning of the Fool yet holding in her hands the power of the Magician. She is the fulfillment of the High Priestess and the Empress as the Bride of Christ, given all things.
The woman is beyond the light of star, moon, and sun for the LORD God is her light. She is surrounded by the four living creatures at the throne of God, the full creation redeemed by the four gospels which revealed Jesus as Lion, Lamb, Son of Man, and Son of God.
This is the full fruit of ultimate harvest and the ultimate seed of ever-renewed promise--wholeness, harmony, and peace with God.
Although foretastes of this glory came on earth as God arose and scattered fear or enemies like Goliath and although the new song of salvation comes when we turn to Christ and have personal peace with God, here we see the ultimate new song of victory and joy. Here the foretastes find fulfillment in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb and in the Tree of Life and the River of God in the New Jerusalem.
Here is the New Heaven and the New Earth of Revelation 21 and 22.
