| The "holy mountain" here is obviously not Sinai and likely not Zion, but the mount of the transfiguration, which becomes their antitype. Using pericopes from it as types of the antitype of the day's gospel inevitably causes the hearer to conclude that Daniel is nothing but a collection of prophecies about Jesus Christ and the victory of the baptized (the new "holy ones of the Most High"). Clearly, to imagine women as progressing from type to antitype with each woman in this "golden Chaine" embodying increasing perfection is to dignify the sex's spiritual capacity; to imagine their transcendence in their apocalyptic justification at the end of time is to refute some early modern misogynist assumptions about women's comparative moral and spiritual weakness. |
