In the book of Revelation, the nation of Israel is symbolically represented as a Woman, particularly in Revelation 12. This Woman is described as clothed with the sun and moon, wearing a crown of stars, tying her identity to Joseph's dream in Genesis 37. She is depicted as about to give birth, with the Child identified as the Messiah, Jesus Christ, born to rule all nations. The great red dragon, representing satan, targets this Child with murderous intent. The Woman, Israel, flees to a place prepared by God, understood as the current locations of the Israelitish nations. Throughout the chapter, there is no indication that this Woman, Israel, is converted. The narrative continues with the dragon, after being cast to earth, persecuting the Woman who gave birth to the Messiah, confirming her identity as the nation of Israel, not the church. Israel is given two wings of a great eagle to escape to her place from the serpent's face, and the earth helps by swallowing a flood spewed by the serpent to destroy her. Only later in the chapter does the church appear as the remnant of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus Christ, distinguishing them from the unconverted nation of Israel. This symbolic representation underscores Israel's significant role in end-time prophecy, as revealed by God to motivate His people to adhere more closely to His law and to understand the unfolding events in the world.

In the context of end-time prophecies, God addresses Israel through Ezekiel, revealing her spiritual state by comparing her to Sodom, Egypt, and Babylon. This harsh judgment stems from Israel's historical failure to remain faithful to Him, as she was smitten with a desire for variety over the truth of His Word. Her fickle discontentment emerged early in her relationship with God, evident in her longing for the diverse experiences of Egypt rather than trusting in His providence. This drive for fulfillment through variety persists within the Israelitish people, ignoring His desire for uniformity in worship and adherence to His singular way. Through instructions in Deuteronomy, He explicitly warned Israel against curiosity about foreign religions and prohibited alliances with neighboring peoples, aiming to prevent her from being ensnared by their practices. Yet, in stubbornness, Israel sought satisfaction in diversity and strayed from His path, embodying the image of a great whore in her spiritual adultery.

God describes His marriage relationship with Israel in many ways, portraying her as a beautiful woman full of promise who eagerly entered into marriage with Him, vowing obedience to the covenant. However, under the tests of life, Israel did not behave like a faithful wife, quickly breaking her vows to be submissive to Him alone, acting unfaithfully worse than a common street harlot. Her idols represent what she greatly desired and pursued, despite God's prohibitions, leading her into relationships with ways of life other than His. God labels this as adultery because she abandoned Him for these other ways, driven by a desire for excitement and new experiences outside His commands, which she perceived as denying her pleasure. Israel's sins are called fornication, as sexual sins publicly reveal unfaithfulness in marriage, though the real spiritual sin is gross idolatry. She did whatever she wanted, whenever and however she wished, breaking the terms of the marriage covenant through unfaithfulness and disloyalty. Her harlotry encompasses not only idolatry but also unfaithfulness in business, stewardship of the earth, forgetting the source of her blessings, and in personal relationships. Despite being favored with gifts greater than any other nation due to the intimate relationship with Him, Israel's responsibility and deviancy were also the greatest, forming the basis for understanding her as a symbol of profound unfaithfulness.
