Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 22

REVELATION 22     Note: This chapter closes the Book of Revelation. It is also the final Word of God. Jesus Christ has sounded forth the great message of Revelation. He has revealed the end of time, what is going to happen during the last years of human history. But we also have been given a hope that there will be no more tears, sorrow, suffering or death, but a world of righteousness, joy & life. It also contains a final challenge of a loving Savior who came into this world to die for the sins of the human race and has consistently sent His Spirit through his servants to convey His loving gospel message to them.

Who did he tell John to worship? vs. 9 Why did the angel say not to seal up the words of the prophecy of this book? vs. 10 The angel said to let those who do wrong, still do wrong, and to let the righteous still "practice" righteousness.

What will happen to those who do? vs. 18 Also, no one is to take anything 'away' from the words of this book of prophecy. What will happen to those who do? vs. 19 What does Jesus say to us? vs. 20 What do we say to Him in return? vs. 20 What is John's last words to us as we close this blessed book? vs. 21 Then that voice, richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear, is heard, saying: ‘Your conflict is ended.’ ‘...Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’ This is our hope. This is our destiny. We can live forever. If we miss eternity, we have missed everything.If we are not ready for Christ’s soon return, we will miss the greatest event in history. Jesus says “Come: Come to forgiveness. Come for mercy. Come for victory over besetting sin. Come to eternity. Come enter the kingdom prepared for you.” If you desire to live in His kingdom forever, bow before Him, surrender your life to Him, take into your hands the Holy Bible, open it with a prayer for guidance, read it and bring its teachings into your life. Ask Him to guide you and make this a reality for you. “Even so, Come Lord Jesus.” From truth.net   Summarize the chapter and post a prayer if you would like. Prayer Father God, I pray ...

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 20

REVELATION 20     John saw an angel coming down from heaven. What was he holding? vs. 1 - Name 2 things John saw the angel lay hold of the dragon. Who is the dragon according to this verse? vs. 2 - Name 3 other names for him.

Judgment was given to them. What had happened to the souls that John saw? vs. 4a Why did this happen to them? vs. 4b - Name 5 things What happened to these souls at the return of Christ to earth? vs. 4c - Name 2 things When did the rest of the dead (the unbelievers) come to life? vs. 5 Why are the ones who had a part in the first resurrection considered blessed and holy? vs. 6 - Name 3 things What will happen when the 1000 years are completed? vs.7 What will Satan do when he is released? vs. 8 Use a Bible concordance to find out more about Gog and Magog.

How many of them will their be? vs. 8 They will come up on the broad plain of the earth and surround the camp of the saints and the beloved city (Jerusalem). What will happen to all of them? vs. 9 The devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone. Who did he join? vs. 10 How long will these be tormented? vs. 10 After this, John saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it. What had happened to heaven and earth? vs. 11 John saw the dead (the unbelievers) - great and small - standing before the throne. Books were opened and they were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds. What other book was there? vs. 12 What gave up the dead (unbelievers) at this time? vs. 13 - Name 3 things How were the dead judged? vs. 13 What happened to death and Hades? vs. 14 What is the lake of fire called? vs. 14 Who was thrown into the lake of fire? vs. 15 Note: This chapter is exciting for those of us who believe in Jesus today and know that we will be riding with Him to rule and reign over the earth for 1000 years (Rev.19:14; 20:6). It is sobering, however, to realize that the people who have died without Christ will be resurrected and stand before the Great White Throne of God to give an account of their deeds.(Rev.20:12). Most sobering is that the Book of Life will be opened at that time, and if their name is not in the Book of Life, they will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev.20:15). I believe as many commentators do that every person is recorded in the Book of Life when God gives them physical life from the womb. It is His will that none perish, but that all have eternal life (John 3:16).  The only way a name is erased from that Book is if the person rejects the Gospel that is offered him. (Psalm 69:28; Rev.3:5) I don't know how many chances a person gets in their lifetime to hear and reject, but it is clear that those who belong to Christ hear His voice and follow Him as shown to us in John chapter 10. There is a Lamb's Book of LIfe that was written before the foundation of the earth (Rev.13:8; 21:27) ... for He is all-knowing and He knows who will come to Him. Our job is to ask them to "Come". What does Revelation 22:17 say? Who will you invite to "come" today? Summarize this chapter and post a prayer if you would like. Prayer Father God, I pray ...

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 19

REVELATION 19     After the destruction of the city of Babylon, what did John hear from a great multitude in heaven? vs. 1 What 3 things did he hear them say belong to our God? vs. 1 They are praising Him because His judgments are true and righteous. What had He just judged? ......... How was she corrupting the earth? ........ Whose blood was He avenging when He destroyed her? (all found in vs.2) What did John hear the great multitude say a second time? vs. 3 What did the 24 elders and the 4 living creatures do and what did they say? vs. 4 What did John hear the voice that came from the throne say? vs. 5 What description did John give of how the great multitude sounded to him when they said "Hallelujah!

I want a beautiful wedding dress prepared, don't you? Who are the blessed ones? vs. 9 John was so overwhelmed by all of this, he just fell at the feet to worship the one sharing it with him. What did the angelic being tell him? vs. 10 Who should John worship alone? vs. 10 What is the spirit of prophecy? vs. 10 John saw heaven open and saw a white horse. What was the name of the One who sat on it? vs. 11a What does He do in righteousness? vs. 11b - Name 2 things How did John describe Him further? vs. 12 - Name 3 things What has His robe been dipped in? vs. 13 What is His name called? vs. 13 Who are the armies in heaven that are following Him on white horses? Who just had a marriage to Him and received their linens, white and clean? vs. 7-9 What will He do with the sword from His mouth? vs. 15a What will He do on His second coming to earth? vs. 15 - Name 3 things What is written on His robe and on His thigh? vs. 16 After this, John saw an angel standing in the sun. What did he hear the angel cry out with a loud voice to all the birds that fly in the midheaven? vs. 17 What will the birds have for this great supper? vs. 18 What did John see the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to do? vs. 19 The beast and the false prophet (who performed signs in his presence by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image) were seized! What happened to them? vs. 20 What happened to the rest of them (the kings and their armies that had assembled to make war against Jesus and His church) ? vs. 21 What a wonderful and victorious chapter this is! I know we all want to get ourselves ready to be His bride. How do we do that? Read I Corinthians 3:9-15. What do you learn? ... and then Read 2 Corinthians 5:10. What do you learn? ...There are 5 crowns mentioned that a believer can receive; there are numerous rewards for things such as persecution, being a faithful witness, teacher, pastor, etc. We even get rewards for giving a drink of water to the least of His disciples. The test is if it is for His glory or for our own? Things done with the wrong motive will burn up; things done for Him will remain and be rewarded.

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 18

REVELATION 18     Note: Chapter 17 & 18 go together because the subject of the destruction of Babylon the Great continues ... Although there are many ideas of who and what Babylon of the last days is ... I believe that it is a literal city that the antichrist will have for his headquarters on the Euphrates. (land of Shinar/modern day Iraq area) I get this from many different Old Testament prophetic Scriptures that would take me awhile to build upon if we were in a class together on this subject alone. For the sake of reading through chapter by chapter, I will leave you with some verses, but I don't have the ability to break it all down for you like I would in a course over time. (Zech. 5:11, Jer. 50:4-9; 51:6; 51:61-64) ... From what I have studied, I believe it is a global political-commercial system that becomes the means and basis of a new worldwide religious system by which the antichrist (beast) will be worshipped (Rev.13). If you recall, the beast brings about his own worship by his control of commerce, or buying and selling to everyone that has his mark on their forehead or right hand. ------------------------------- John saw another angel coming down from heaven. How does he describe this angel? vs. 1 - Name 2 things What did the angel cry out? vs. 2a What did he say Babylon had become? vs.2b - Name 3 things What influence from Babylon made the nations drunk? vs. 3a What had the kings of the earth committed with Babylon? vs. 3b How did the merchants of the earth become rich from Babylon? vs. 3c John heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people." ... What did he not want them to participate in and why? vs. 4 Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 and compare these Scriptures and the context of the meanings. How high had Babylon's sins piled up so that God was now remembering her iniquities? vs. 5 What consequences was she to receive for the deeds she had done? vs. 6 She glorified herself and she lived sensously. To the degree that she had done that was the degree that she would have torment and mourning. What did she say in her heart? vs. 7 For this reason because she did not believe she would ever see mourning, what will come upon her in one day? vs. 8 - Name 4 things Who is her strong judge? vs. 8 What will the kings of the earth (who committed acts of immorality and lived sensously with her) do when they see the smoke of her burning? vs. 9 Standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, what will these kings say? vs. 10 Why will the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her? vs. 11 What type of cargoes were they? vs.11-13 - There are about 28 items listed if you want to list them here: What has passed away from Babylon and will not be found again? vs. 14 The merchants who became rich from her will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning. (vs.15). What will they say? vs. 16 What happens to Babylon in just one hour? vs. 17a What do the shipmasters, passengers, sailors, and everyone who makes a living by the sea stand at a distance and cry out? vs. 17-19 Who are the ones that rejoice at her judgment? vs. 20 - Name 4 groups Why has God pronounced jugment against her? vs. 20 What does John see a strong angel doing and what does he say? vs. 21 What sounds will not be found in Babylon any longer? vs. 22a - Name 4 There will not be any craftsmen or crafts found or the sound of a mill any longer ... the light of a lamp will shine no longer ... the voice of the bridegroom and bride will be heard no longer ... because their merchants were the great men of earth, what had happened to all the nations? vs. 23c Whose blood was Babylon guilty of? vs. 24 - Name 3 groups Today the global one-world government is not yet in existence, but the spirit and harlotry is in every nation where there is pressure to elevate self and be one's own god. Sensuality is all that is in our entertainment industry anymore. Don't you see the spirit of harlotry in every corner you turn? What does James 4:4-5 tell us?

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 17

REVELATION 17     One of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls spoke to John, saying he would show him the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters. (vs.1) ... What had the kings of the earth done with her? vs.2 What had she done to those who dwell on the earth? vs. 2 The angel carried John away in the Spirit into a wilderness where he saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast. Name 3 things about the beast from vs. 3 Where have you seen this description before? Write out Revelation 13:1 Based on what we learned about this beast in chapters 12 & 13, who is this? How was the woman clothed? vs. 4a What was she adorned in? vs. 4a - name 3 things What was the gold cup full of that she held in her hand? vs. 4b - Name 2 things What mystery name was written on her forehead? vs. 5 What is she the mother of? vs. 5 - Name 2 things What did John see her drunk with? vs. 6 - Name 2 things Note: John wondered greatly about this, so the angel told him he would tell him the mystery of the woman. (vs.7)...He will tell John about the mystery of the woman... and of the beast that carries her ... which has 7 heads and 10 horns. (vs.7). What did the angel tell John about the beast that he saw? vs. 8 - Fill in the blanks: "he ___, and is ___, and is about to come up out of the ____ and go to _________". Who has been described that way already in this book? Anyone? Who are the ones left on earth that will wonder about the beast they will see who was, is not, and is to come? vs. 8 The angel continues to give information for the mind which as wisdom... What are the 7 heads? vs. 9a .....what are the mountains? vs. 9 .... What has happened to 5 of them already? vs. 9 ... there is a current one....the other has not yet come...How long must he remain when he comes? vs. 9 The beast ... was .... and is not ... is himself an 8th king ... and is one of the 7 kings (mountains; heads). What will happen to him? vs. 11 What was he told about the 10 horns on the heads of the beast? vs. 12 ....At the time of this writing in John's life, did these kings have a kingdom yet? vs. 12 When will they receive authority as kings and for how long? vs. 12 They will have only 1 purpose (united for 1 cause) ... and they will give their power and authority to the beast (vs.13) ...Who will they all wage war against? vs. 14 Why will the Lamb overcome them? vs. 14 Who are with the Lamb when He comes to wage this war against these kingdoms? vs. 14. Name 3 things they are called. Who do you think these would be? (Glance over Revelation Chapter 19 to give you an idea) What are the waters that she was sitting on? vs. 15 - Name 4 things The 10 horns which are 10 kings which will rule in the future and give the beast their power for 1 hour united for 1 purpose... and the beast .... how will they all feel toward the harlot? vs. 16a What will they do to the harlot ? vs. 16b - Name 4 things Who has put this in their hearts and why? vs. 17 What else is John told about the woman he saw? vs. 18 If you research commentaries, you will get different views on the mystery of Babylon, Mother of Harlots. I suggest you study the history of Babylon and see the spiritual implication most of all; the immorality spoken of in the literal text and see a system of corruption that would come from the influence of the beast to come. I have prayed for all of you and for myself that the Lord will give us understanding and wisdom and the desire to know Him and follow His ways according to His Word now and forever. Amen.

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 16

REVELATION 16     What did John hear the loud voice from the temple say to the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls full of the wrath of God? vs. 1 Describe what the 1st angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 2 What people were effected by this plague? vs. 2 Describe what the 2nd angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 3 What happened as a result of this bowl? vs. 3 Describe what the 3rd angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 4 What did John hear the angel of the waters praising God about in regard to this bowl being poured out? vs. 5 Why did the angel of the waters say that these people deserved for this to happen to them? vs. 6 What did John hear the altar saying? vs. 7 Who are the ones beneath the altar talking? Look back at Revelation 6:9-11. Describe what the 4th angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 8 What did the people do who received this plague rather than repent and give God glory? vs. 9 Describe what the 5th angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 10 What did they do when they were in pain and with sores; did they turn to God for help? vs. 11 Describe what the 6th angel's bowl did to the Euphrates River and why. vs. 12 When you look at a map of the Euphrates river, where would kings from the east be in respect to the land of Israel? Note: The ultimate explanation is therefore relatively a simple one. By an act of God the Euphrates River is dried up. This makes easy the descent of the tremendous army of two hundred million men upon the land of Israel to participate in the final world conflict. If such an army is to be raised up, it would be natural to conclude that it would come from Asia, the great population center of the world. Although they seem to come in opposition to the Roman ruler and his power, it is clear that this invasion springs from unbelief and these armies like the others gathered “to the battle of that great day of God Almighty” forget their individual conflicts to oppose the coming of Jesus Christ in power and glory from heaven. The fact that the rise of Asia has occurred in our twentieth century with so many rapid and unexpected developments is another evidence that the world is moving toward its final climax and the end of the times of the Gentiles. In Asia, as in other parts of the world, the stage is being set for the final drama in which the kings of the east will have their important part. Taken from John F. Walvoord As the Euphrates was drying up, what did John see coming out of the mouth of the dragon (Satan), the beast (Antichrist), and the false prophet? vs. 13 What are these spirits? vs. 14 .... What do they perform? vs. 14 ... Who is gathered to come together for war through these demonic spirits? vs. 14 What great day in HIStory will this be? vs. 14 John inserts a word of encouragement to stay awake and clothed to not have shame for He is coming like a thief. Compare the following Scriptures; write them out if you would like. Matthew 24:43; Luke 12:39; 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:4; 2 Peter 3:10. Where was the place that the 3 demonic spirits gathered the kings of the earth to? vs. 16 What did the loud voice that came out of the temple from the throne say when the 7th angel poured out his bowl upon the "air"? vs. 17 Describe what the 7th angel's bowl brought to the earth. vs. 18 - Name 3 final things What is significant about this great earthquake? vs. 18 What happened to the great city because of the earthquake? vs. 19 What happened to the cities of the nations during this earthquake? vs. 19 What was happening to Babylon the Great? vs. 19 What happened to every island and every mountain? vs. 20 How much did the hailstones weigh that fell on men? vs. 21 Will this severe plague cause the men to repent and turn to God? How will they react toward God when this happens? vs. 21 Note: Again the reaction of the world is not repentance, but to curse God because of His righteous judgment. How can people prepare to survive these times? They cannot survive them. The only way to prepare is to be prepared to die for our faith and to stand before God Almighty, one by one. True Christians will be raptured out of the wrath of God. There is debate about if they will go through some of the tribulation period or not. What really matters is preparation. How many times does the Lord say to "be ready"; to "be alert"? ....You may be asking how to make ourselves ready to meet the Lord .... Nothing we can do of ourselves can make us acceptable in His presence. All we can do, all we must do, is to accept the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ our sacrifice, and by believing be declared just in God's sight. ..... Are you prepared to face death? Will you be willing to die for your faith? Those who attempt to save their life by worshipping the beast, by bowing to his image or receiving his mark will surely die and be lost for all eternity. Those who give their life refusing to bow to Satan will live again, and spend eternity with the Lord their Creator. How will you prepare and how will you share this lesson with your neighbor?

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 15

REVELATION 15     Note: This chapter is the introduction to the final judgments to cleanse the world from evildoers so that a kingdom of righteousness can be established on the earth. The judgments themselves are described in chapter 16 in the 7 bowls poured out. John saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven. What did he see? vs.1a These are the last of the plagues. What is finished when they are finished? vs. 1b John saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire. Who was standing on the glass? vs. 2 What were they holding? vs. 2 What were they singing? vs. 3a What words did they say? vs. 3b As the praise continues from their mouths, what do they say all nations will do and why? vs. 4 Note: The song is one of victory like the song Moses wrote telling about Israel’s deliverance from Pharaoh’s army at the Red Sea (Pharaoh was a type or foreshadow of the Beast). God supernaturally delivered Israel and then destroyed Pharaoh and his army in the red sea. This was a foreshadow of the destruction of the Beast and the casting of the Beast alive into the Lake of Fire (a Red Sea). They also sing a song of eternal redemption through the blood of the Lamb. In their song they proclaim the holiness of God and sing that all nations shall come and worship before Jesus after the final judgments are poured out. After these things, John looked. What was opened in heaven? vs. 15a Who came out of the temple? vs.15b How were they clothed? vs. 15c What did 1 of the 4 living creatures give to the 7 angels? vs. 7 What were they full of? vs. 7 Why did the temple fill with smoke at that time? vs. 8 When could someone enter the temple again? vs. 8 Note: The seven golden vials full of the wrath of God are given to the seven great angels by one of the four living Beasts that surround the throne of God. The hierarchy in heaven remains consistent. After this is done the temple is filled with smoke from the glory of God and no one is able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues are fulfilled. This is indicating that the judgment is firm and there will be no intercession before God to delay or intercede against these judgments. Since those on earth have rejected God’s mercy (Jesus) the only thing they have left to receive is God's wrath. Summarize the chapter and post a prayer if you like. The 7 bowls will be poured forth in tomorrow's reading in Chapter 16 of Revelation ... Prayer Father God, I pray ...

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 14

REVELATION 14     Note: Revelation 14 actually contains two visions of the future. The first is a vision of salvation. The second is a vision of judgment. Look at yourself and ask, "Which vision includes me?" If the first vision includes you, then you will want to remain faithful to Christ. And, if the second vision includes you then you should want to repent and have your sins forgiven in Him. Where did John see the Lamb standing? vs. 1 Who was with the Lamb? vs. 1 What did they have written on their foreheads? vs. 1 - Name 2 things John heard a voice from heaven.

What was he preaching to everyone who lived on the earth? vs. 6 What did the angel cry out with a loud voice? vs.7 What hour has come? vs. 7 Note: No matter how successful the Antichrist is at trying to wipe out Christianity, he won't be able to stop God from sending His word one last time to warn the people of the error of their ways and to warn them of the consequences of doing what the beast is ordering them to do. The Lord doesn't want anyone to have an excuse that they didn't know the truth and consequences of rebellion when they stand at the Great White Throne for final judgment. Even if every last Bible is wiped out by the Antichrist, God will still send angels to proclaim truth to the world and warn. God is merciful that even as His wrath is being poured out, He is faithful to warn the lost and to try and bring them back to Him. John saw another angel (2nd one).

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 13

REVELATION 13     In chapter 12, we were introduced to the dragon of Revelation. Who did John clearly indicate the dragon to be? Revelation 12:9 - Write it out: Revelation 13 ... The dragon (Satan) stood on the sand of the seashore. (vs.1) What did John see coming up out of the sea? vs.1a Describe the beast that John saw coming out of the sea. vs. 1 - Name 4 things What animal did John compare the beast to? vs. 2a What did John saw his feet were like? vs. 2b What did he say his mouth was like? vs. 2c What did the dragon (Satan) give to the beast? vs. 2d - Name 3 things As we looked at in yesterday's lesson, we need Daniel's OT prophecy coupled with Revelation to get the best understanding of the heads of the beast and the horns on them. In Daniel and in Revelation, we will see a Beast with seven heads and ten horns that will deceive the whole world. The seven heads represent world kingdoms with kings under the control of Satan and the ten horns represent ten end time world leaders that the dragon (Satan) will control for a specified time and purpose of God. Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. What did John see in regard to one of the heads (or kingdoms)? vs.3 - Name 5 things Why did the whole earth worship the dragon (Satan)? vs. 4 Why did they worship the beast? vs. 4 What was given to the beast for 42 months? vs. 5 - Name 3 things When the beast opened his mouth, it was in blasphemies against God and who else? vs. 6 Who will the beast make war with and how will it turn out? vs. 7a What kind of power will he have over the earth? vs. 7b - Name 4 things Who will worship the beast? vs. 8a Who will NOT worship the beast? vs. 8b Has your name been written in the Lamb's book of life? How do you know? If anyone has an ear, John says "let him hear". What are the various things that the saints will be destined for during this time? vs. 10 - Name 2 things What does John call this? vs. 10b John saw another beast coming up - this time out of the earth rather than the sea - What does he say this beast was like and how did he speak? vs. 11 John tell us about this 2nd beast (which will be referred to as the false prophet of the antichrist). He will excercise all the authority of the first beast (the antichrist) in his presence.  What does he make the earth dwellers do? vs. 12 What is significant about the first beast? vs.12b What does the 2nd beast (false prophet) perform? vs.13a What is a significant miracle he will perform during this time? vs.13b Because of the signs that the false prophet (2nd beast) performs in the presence of the first beast (antichrist), what does it cause the people on earth to do? vs.14 The people will be forced to make an image of the first beast. What will the 2nd beast (false prophet) do to the image to cause people to worship the image? vs. 15 What happens to anyone who refuses to worship the image? vs. 15 What does the false prophet (2nd beast) cause all the people on earth to receive on their right hand or on their forehead? vs. 16 Can anyone buy or sell without the mark of the beast (antichrist)? vs. 17 What is the mark of the beast? vs. 17 - Name 2 things When the number is calculated that is given out, what will it be? vs. 18 Those whose name are written in the Lamb's Book of Life will not take the mark of the beast, even though they will give up their life in exchange to enter eternal life. I like to think of our website, my journals, my marked up Bibles, and other things as things the seekers can find during the days of tribulation to lead them to the decision to follow Christ to the death. Revelation 12:11 - They overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even unto death. Amen.

Revelation Worksheet - Chapter 12

REVELATION 12     In Chapter 11, we saw the 7th trumpet sound, but the effects of the sounding of the 7th trumpet (3rd woe) will not be clearly defined for us until Chapter 15-18. There has been an insert of visions given to John to explain the attack of satan on the promise of the Messiah to Israel and to the world from the beginning of time until the events unfolding in the very last days of time. Note: It takes time to weave together various parts of Scriptures to get the clear picture, but for the sake of our daily reading, I will do my best to fill in some of this information little by little. I am praying the Lord helps me to say it and helps you to understand what I am trying to say. Thank you for your prayers regarding this.... A great sign appeared in heaven. It was a woman. What was she clothed with? vs. 1a What was under the woman's feet? vs. 1b What was on the woman's head? vs. 1c How does Joseph's dream in Genesis 37:9 help you understand who the woman is that is being described? What was notable about the woman? vs.2 Another sign appeared in heaven. It was a red dragon. How many heads did the dragon have? vs. 3a How many horns did the dragon have? 3b What were on the heads of the dragon? 3c Note: In the book of Daniel and later in this book we will see a Beast with seven heads and ten horns that will deceive the whole world. The seven heads represent world kingdoms with kings under the control of Satan and the ten horns represent ten end time world leaders that Satan will control in the last Gentile world empire called “Babylon the Great” This is further defined by Daniel and in chapter 17 and 18 of Revelation. Rev 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. Rev 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. What did the dragon do with his tail? 4a Note: Stars sometimes are used as symbols for angels in Scripture. Remember how Jesus holds the 7 stars in His hand and we are told that the 7 stars represented the 7 angels? (Rev.1:20) ... This verse is talking about the fall of Satan and his angels. Satan is referred to as the "star" of the morning in the description of his fall in Isaiah 14:12-14. Satan apparently led a third of the angels in heaven in a rebellion against God, which is how we have demonic spirits today. Where did the dragon throw the third of the stars that he swept with his tail? vs.4 John sees the dragon (Satan) standing before the woman (we have established as the nation of Israel) who was about to give birth. What did the dragon desire to do to the child when he was born? vs. 4 Note: Satan used Herod to try to kill Jesus the moment He was born. (Matthew 2:12-20). The Lord warned Joseph to take Mary and the child Jesus to Egypt until Herod died and was no longer a threat to them. John describes to us that the woman gave birth to a son who was a male child. What are we told about this child's future? vs.12 Before this child is a world ruler one day, what happens to the child first? vs. 12 When was Jesus caught up to God and to His throne? Read Acts 1:9-11 Returning to the future of the woman (Israel), she will flee from the dragon again in the future. How will God take care of the nation during that period of 1260 days? Where have we seen this same reference to days in our reading? Comment from Rev.11:3 Back to Chapter 12 ... Who waged war with the dragon and his angels in the heavenlies? vs. 7 What happened to the dragon and his angels at that time? vs. 8 The great dragon was thrown down at that time. Who does John tell us the dragon was and what the dragon does? vs. 9 - Name 6 things What did John hear from a loud voice in heaven when Satan and his angels were thrown down? vs. 10 - Fill in the blanks. "Now the ______, and the _____, and the _____ of our God and the _____ of His Christ have come, for the _____ of our brethren has been thrown down, he who _____ them before our God _____ and _____." Note: What rejoicing does this give you that our accuser will be thrown down from his access to God's throne to accuse us of our sins on a daily basis? For now, we have an advocate, a lawyer, who defends us and presents us to God because we have believed upon His Name - our Jesus - our High Priest. One day, we will reign with Him as priests and there will no longer be a need for an advocate because our accuser will be gone. Hallelujah !! How do the saints overcome Satan, their accuser? vs.11 - Name 3 things What will heaven and those dwelling there be doing when the accuser is thrown down? vs. 12 What warning is given to the earth and sea and those who dwell there? vs. 12 This is the third "Woe" and from the 7th trumpet will come the final 7 bowls of God's wrath. What will the devil send forth because he knows his time is short? vs. 12 Note: He (the devil) is tossed out once and for all time. His day is over. The last half of the Tribulation will be a time of terrible trouble on earth (Jer. 30:7; Dan 9:27; 12:1; Zeph. 1:15; Matt 24:15-22). It will be Satan's final attempt to prevent the return and the reign of Christ. He has only a short time to try to prevent the establishment of Christ's kingdom so his wrath intensifies of his persecution of Israel, God's chosen nation. Who did the dragon persecute when he was thrown to the earth? vs. 13 What was given to the woman so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place to be nourished during this time? vs. 14 How long would she be protected and nourished from the presence of the serpent (Satan)? vs. 14 Note: The phrase time and times and half a time is also found in Daniel. Comment on these verses: 1) Daniel 7:25  2) Daniel 12:7  Note: According to the 70th week of Daniel, it is calculated to be 1 year (time).. 2 years (times) and 1/2 a year (half time) ... or 3-1/2 years, which is the middle of the 7 year peace treaty that is going to be given to Israel by the Antichrist who will break the peace in the middle of the 7 years, which is 3-1/2 years - also stated as 42 months and 1260 days.... The comforting part is that God will protect the remnant of Israel during this time of great wrath from the devil upon them. How will the serpent (Satan) try to destroy the woman (Israel) as she flees into the wilderness? vs. 15 How will the earth help the woman (Israel) at that time? vs. 16 When this happens, the dragon will be even more enraged with the woman. Who does he go off to make war with? vs. 17 Although the chapters are difficult to understand, we were told in chapter 1 that we are "blessed to read, hear, and heed" the words of this book. Thank you for taking time to read and think through these lessons. How has this lesson helped you understand God's enemy and how determined he is to stop God's plan of redemption? As we know, the victory belongs to Jesus and His followers. How have you seen spiritual warfare in a more serious light and what encouragement do you have to be an overcomer by faith in God and in His Word?
