Now we come to Revelation 12:13-17:

When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. 

But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to...

         In the last few weeks, we have focused on the power that enables God’s people to not only overcome the events of the last days— the events in this unfolding vision—but in all of life. Many people’s worst Armageddon will come in the form of an accident or other tragedies and disasters. The principles we’re studying here apply to all of life, not just the events outlined in Revelation.

         The next thing said about those who overcome by the blood of the Lamb is that they added to this “the word of their testimony” (see Revelation12:11). How does...

         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.

         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...
