During this age, the Church is in the place of power and authority. She sits in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

She is clothed with the 'sun of righteousness'.

..............The moon [Satan, ruler of the nights] is under her feet. She holds a position of dominion and also travails for the birth of the Manchild children.

..............But when they are born, she isn't seen in her exalted heavenly place. She is on earth, desparate and fleeing for her life.
