Eve is a type for the church. See Eph. 5:23-26 which describes the husband-wife relationship.
For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
Rev 12:2,5 speaks of the man-child, or the stronger part of the church.
That the seed of the woman is Christ and the church, or God's people

Answer: Satan’s seed is the Red Dragon, the coming world leader and the false prophet in Rev 12:3,…
In Rev 12:1-5. 1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems. 4And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. 5And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
The woman in Rev 12:1-5, is Israel. If you say that this woman is the church, you have a BIG problem, because the church is a VIRGIN BRIDE (2Cor 11:2) and this woman in Rev. is “pregnant”. Rev 12, is a “summary of Israel” that started in Gen 3:15, where we see the term: “her seed” or “seed of the woman”, meaning the woman has seed or gives birth. A “mother-Son” relationship and NOT a “Bridegroom-bride” relationship, because Israel gives birth to the child who is Jesus which is confirmed in Rev 12: 2,5 (read verses). The male child in verse 5, is Jesus and NOT “the stronger part of the church” which is W. Lee’s wrong interpretation.
Why is W. Lee’s interpretation wrong? Because as I explained in detail in my original post, W. Lee’s teaching does NOT have Israelology in his teaching (83% of the Bible is related to Israel), as a result of that, his Eschatology (33% is Prophecy in the Bible) is wrong and as a result of that, his Ecclesiology (result of NOT knowing Israeology) is also wrong. When you lack understanding or completely ignore, Israelology you will do exactly what W. Lee did in his teaching: it does NOT differentiate Israel from the church, it applies what is for Israel to the church (read his Life Studies, ex.Jer 31:31), making a big salad with Israel and the church. Additionally, he starts to “freely” allegorize the Scriptures as he wishes coming up with self- made doctrine that “ONLY” he knows, because it is his private interpretation. One example of the many, of his self-made doctrines; is “the ground of oneness” (there is not even ONE verse in the Bible showing this point), or Boiling a young goat in the mother’s milk (Exo 23:19; 34:26; Deut 14:21), or eating poisonous gourds (2King 4:38-41) and I can go on and on and on…. With all the allegories made up by himself without paying attention to the “fundamental points” that I mentioned already at the very beginning of my post.
If you can NOT see or understand what I am explaining to you about the “Major errors of W. Lee’s teaching: Replacement Theology, absence of Israelology (83% of the Bible is related to Israel), wrong Eschatology (33% is Prophecy in the Bible), Wrong Ecclesiology (result of NOT knowing Israeology); I can NOT do anything else for you, except to pray for you, that the Lord would open your right understanding of the Scriptures. I know, it is not easy, but also it is possible with the Lord (Mt 19:26). I don’t want to convince anybody, everyone should do their homework and come to their own conclusions.
