The word resurrection (ἀνάστασις) occurs only twice in the Book of Revelation. This prompted several scholars to either deny or overlook the resurrection motif of this biblical book. On the other side, like a single thread running from the beginning till the end, the resurrection motif used in various images, metaphors and contexts can be found permeating the entire book. Based on these images, metaphors and contexts pointing to resurrection, this study has the guiding hypotheses that Revelation is a book with a resurrection motif, and that the apocalyptic woman is the mother of resurrection. She is the mother of mankind redeemed through the birth of Christ event and her birth pang is a groaning for redemption, which is the birth of the new heavenly Jerusalem; an anthropological imagination of a space devoid of evil and everything that has to do with the culture of death, because God, the Ultimate Source of life, dwells in it. Such a hermeneutics will change some peoples’ vision of Revelation as a “horror book” to a book of hope and consolation.
