Summary  of  the  Book  of  Revelation  -­‐  Chapter  12  The  Dragon  Loses  to  the  Child  of  the  Woman  

A  Look  Back:  Chapter  11  concluded  the  second  Woe,  part  of  the  sixth  trumpet.      Now  the  third  woe  approaches.    Before  it  arrives,  we  receive  visions  that  reassure  the  faithful  of  God's  protection  and  deliverance  from  persecution.      

The  Woman  and  the  Dragon:    A  vision  of  a  woman  clothed  with  the  Sun  and  the  moon  under  her  feet.      She  is  pregnant,  travailing  in  birthing  pains,  and  wearing  a  crown  with  twelve  stars.      

The  dragon  appears  in  heaven  (where  the  woman  is)  and  is  magnificent  in  size  and  red.    He  has  seven  heads  each  with  a  crown  and  ten  horns.    The  tail  of  the  dragon  will  knock  one-­‐third  of  the  stars  of  heaven  to  earth  as  he  approaches  the  woman  to  devour  her  child  the  moment  it  is  born  (this  might  be  a  representation  of  Jesus  as  a  child).      

The  woman  gives  birth  to  a  boy,  one  who  was  to  rule  all  nations  with  a  rod  of  iron.    God  will  deliver  the  child  out  of  the  reach  of  the  dragon.  The  woman  will  flee  into  the  wilderness  to  a  place  prepared  by  God.    God  will  care  for  her  for  1,260  days.      

A  war  breaks  out  in  heaven.    Michael  and  the  angels  fight  against  the  Dragon  and  his  angels.    They  will  lose  their  place  and  be  cast  down  into  the  earth.    The  text  is  clear:  the  dragon  is  Satan,  the  Devil,  the  serpent.    He  is  the  deceiver  of  the  whole  world.    

John  hears  a  voice  from  heaven.    Salvation  is  declared,  and  so  has  the  Kingdom  and  power  of  Christ.    The  accuser  of  Christians  has  been  cast  down.    The  victory  was  by  the  blood  of  the  Lamb  and  by  the  word  of  the  Christians  who  did  not  love  their  lives  to  the  death  (i.e.,  martyrs).    

There  is  rejoicing  in  the  heavens,  but  woe  to  the  earth  at  the  presence  of  Satan.    He  has  been  cast  down,  and  his  wrath  is  great  for  he  knows  his  time  is  short.    

When  the  dragon  is  cast  down,  he  persecutes  the  woman,  but  the  woman  flies  to  the  wilderness  once  again  on  the  wings  of  an  eagle.    She  receives  nourishment  for  a  time  and  times  and  half  a  time  (3  and  1/2  years).  

The  woman  is  attacked  one  last  time  by  the  dragon,  but  the  earth  swallows  up  the  attack.    In  a  fury  at  this,  the  dragon  begins  to  make  war  against  the  rest  of  her  children  -­‐-­‐  those  who  keep  the  commandments  of  God  and  have  the  testimony  of  Jesus  Christ  (the  Christians).
