Robin McMillan and I get together a couple of times a week just to talk, and some really profound revelations come from these times. He made a great point recently when he shared how in Christ, we become members of the lineage of Christ—the noblest lineage on earth. Now consider this­: Adam and Eve sinned; Noah got drunk; Abraham and Isaac were willing to give their wives to heathens to protect themselves; Jacob lied, cheated, schemed, and stole. Moses was a murderer, Rahab was a harlot, King David was a murderer and adulterer, and the list goes on. This...

         This week we continue our study of Revelation 12:

"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

"For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time" (Revelation 12:11-12).

         Here we are given the ultimate strategy for overcoming:

         1) The blood of...

         This week we come to one of the most exciting and dramatic signs in Revelation:

“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:10).

         The accuser is cast down! One of the most difficult trials Christians deal with is false accusation. This is why the Lord uses the accuser as one of...

         This week we come to one of the most exciting and dramatic signs in Revelation 12, which I will comment on after each verse:

A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth (Revelation 12:1-2).

         This is generally accepted to represent Israel, which gave birth to the Messiah and was then immediately assaulted by the powers of this...

         This week we will cover the rest of the text in Revelation 11:15-19, commenting after each verse.

Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”

         As covered, the seventh angel represents the final message to go forth. When this one sounds, there are “loud voices in heaven,” which speaks of the power of this message being so great and elevated that it is heard throughout heaven, or the entire...
