Revelation 12:1-17
Intro/Attention
Tonight, in our study of Revelation, we come to Revelation 12:1-17. This is our twentieth message in this series and we are now, finally, more than halfway through this fascinating New Testament prophecy.
If you will remember, the ''seventh trumpet'' sounded at the end of chapter 11. We don't discover what happens as a direct result of that until Revelation 15-18. In the meantime, we are told of a ''woman'' and a ''dragon.'' We learn of war in heaven and on earth. We see a ''beast rising out of the sea'' in chapter 13 and the ''Lamb'' standing on ''Mount Zion'' in Revelation 14. We will take each of these stories as they come. And tonight, we will look at Revelation 12:1-17.
This chapter tells us, in part and in summary fashion, the Grand Redemptive Story of the Bible. It is something of a panorama of salvation history. It tells us in fantastic imagery and vision the true story of the whole world. It looks to the past, addresses the present, and points to the future. It naturally divides into 3 sections: 1) 1-6 is the story of the woman, the male child and the dragon; 2) 7-12 is a war in heaven and song of redemption; 3) 13-17 is the satanic attempt to destroy the people of God and its failed project.

Know your enemy. In spiritual conflicts, we must know and understand our adversary, or we'll be the victims of surprise attacks.
