Fear Not: The Real Story of Revelation | "The Great Conflict: Dragon Versus Lamb"
Revelation 12-13 pulls back the curtain on the cosmic battle beneath all earthly conflicts - a dragon waging war against the woman and her child. These vivid symbols reveal something profound: a spiritual reality lies behind our struggles and society's chaos. The dragon (Satan) couldn't destroy Christ (the male child) and now turns his rage against the church. But God provides protectection in the wilderness. Meanwhile, the dragon empowers "beasts" - corrupt political and religious systems that oppose God's people. Today, we'll learn to recognize these influences in our world while finding hope in the Lamb's certain victory.

We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
"Now but Not Yet."
"If Jesus already won, why does the Christian life still feel like a battle? Why am I still struggling with temptation? Why do I still face problems?"
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Revelation 12:1-2
"Now and Not Yet."
Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. Revelation 12:3
The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment He was born. Revelation 12:4b
She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Revelation 12:5a
And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne. Revelation 12:5b
The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. Revelation 12:6
"The woman fled into the wilderness..."
"a place prepared for her BY GOD."
