John 1:51 states: "And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." This last verse of John 1 prepares us for the openly Marian chapter of John 2. As the last verse of John 1 prepares and situates us for the unveiling in John 2 of the Woman who is the Mother of the Messiah so the last verse of John's Apocalypse 11 prepares and situates us for the unveiling of the Woman in Chapter 12. Apocalypse 11:19 states: "And the temple of God was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple, and there were lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake, and great hail." 

We see in John 1:51 and Apocalypse 11:19 the concept of the opening of the heavens.

John 1:23 has John the Baptist quoting Isaiah in regards to his mission as the Voice. In the Greek voice is a feminine word phone. In Hebrew the Voice of God is related to the Bat Kol (Daughter Voice). The words in Hebrew for 'voice' and 'all' are both pronounced as kol and thus Our Lady is the Daughter or Lady of All (Kol כל) and the Daughter or Lady Voice (Kol קוֹל). 

Our Lady is the Voice of the Word.

St Bernard of Clairvaux taught that Our Lady could be found on every page of the Bible. She is there in a hidden and mystical manner. As discussed in my other blogs, Our Lady is the Lady of Wisdom connected to the first word of the Bible Bereshit. She is that Reshit (Beginning/ first) - the template for all Creation when read through a Marian or Sophia prism.
