Answer. In Revelation chapter 12, John sees a vision of a woman "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (Revelation 12:1). Note the similarity between this description and the description that Joseph gave of his father Jacob (Israel) and his mother and their children (Genesis 37:9-11).
Revelation 12:10 calls Satan the “accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night.” The context of the verse describes a cosmic battle between a great red dragon (identified as Satan in Revelation 12:7) and the angelic hosts of heaven. The dragon is hurled to the earth (Revelation 12:9), the authority of ...
Satan has long been God’s archenemy, the great adversary and the accuser of His people (Genesis 3:1–5; Ephesians 6:11–13; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:10). Scripture portrays Satan as a dragon because he is powerful, terrifying, and capable of causing much harm (1 John 5:19; 1 Peter 5:8). Interestingly, in Genesis, Satan appears as a ...
He identifies the saints as “the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). Throughout Scripture, justification before God—righteousness—is always and only by faith in Him (e.g., Habakkuk 2:4; Genesis 15:6; John 6:47; Hebrews 11:6; etc.). In each era or administration, God has engaged people in ...
In 2 Corinthians 12:2–3, the apostle Paul provides a major revelation that there are three “heavens.” In this passage, he seemingly talks about himself being taken up to the “third heaven” where God the Father and Jesus dwell. The second heaven is the universe or outer space, and the first is our atmosphere or air.
In Revelation 12:17, keeping the testimony of Jesus is linked to keeping God’s command, showing the relationship between both in a Christian’s life. The gospel motivates us to love God by keeping His commandments. Holding to the testimony of Jesus also involves steadfastness in the face of trials. John wrote the book of Revelation to ...
Answer. The twelve gates in Revelation 21 belong to the New Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven to the new earth (verse 10), shining with the glory of God (verse 11). John describes the city: “It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of ...
Both Daniel and John include the detail that the terrible beast has ten horns. The dragon, or Satan, as identified in Revelation 12:9, gives power to the beast so that he might act as an evil proxy and carry out Satan’s bidding. The beast will have a seemingly fatal head wound that will be healed, and he will have tremendous influence over ...
The “accuser of the brethren” (as the KJV renders it) is the defeated dragon, that is, Satan (verse 9). The battle depicted in Revelation 12 is not the initial banishment of the accuser of the brethren before the world’s creation. Instead, it signifies the ultimate expulsion of the devil and his angels from heaven at a future time.
Will there literally be streets of gold in heaven (Revelation 21:21)? What did Jesus mean when He said, “Behold I am coming soon” (Revelation 22:7)? Who are those outside the gates in Revelation 22:15? Who is the bright morning star in Revelation 22:16? Who are the Spirit and the bride in Revelation 22:17?
