Drawing a connection between the similar language used in the books of Genesis and Revelation, Professor Tim Gray shows that Mary is the woman prophesied in the proto-evanglium (first Gospel) whose offspring would crush the head of the serpent. In this sense, Mary is the “New Eve” and her obedience to God’s will repairs the damage done by Eve’s disobedience in Eden. Mary’s obedience brings her to the forefront of God’s family and makes her the mother of the Body of Christ.
