A radiant woman cries out in labor. A great red dragon coils to devour her child. Then, in a single sweeping line, the child is caught up to the throne, and the accuser is hurled down. Revelation 12 compresses the story of salvation and the shape of our struggle into vivid symbols that still read like headlines for every age. We walk through the woman, the dragon, and the male child with careful attention to Scripture’s echoes—from Joseph’s dream to the Exodus to the cross—and trace how these images ground our hope and recalibrate our expectations.

We dig into the details that matter: why the woman most clearly represents Israel and, by extension, God’s people; what the seven heads, ten horns, and diadems signal about counterfeit power; and how the stephanos crown points to promised victory for those who overcome. We explore the fall of a third of the stars as angelic rebellion, the war in heaven led by Michael, and the thunderous verdict that silences the accuser. Most importantly, we center the gospel: believers conquer by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, not by moral polish or cultural dominance.

The wilderness scene becomes a field guide for discipleship—1,260 days of tested endurance, eagle’s wings of providence, and floods of deception that God neutralizes. Expect opposition; discern propaganda; hold fast to obedience and witness. The dragon is furious and his time is short, but the Lamb has already won. Join us as we read Revelation 12 not as code to crack, but as courage to carry: stand firm, stay clear-eyed, and live like people whose verdict is already “no condemnation.” If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

We trace Revelation 11 from the measuring of the temple to the seventh trumpet, weighing literal and symbolic readings of the temple, timeframes, and the identity of the two witnesses. The story moves from sackcloth and scorn to resurrection and reign, asking where our allegiance rests.

• symbolic versus literal readings of the temple
• meaning of measuring and the unmeasured outer court
• forty-two months, 1,260 days, and time, times, and half a time
• identities proposed for the two witnesses
• olive trees and lampstands as church imagery
• the beast’s war, public scorn, and refused burial
• resurrection, ascent, earthquake, and fear
• seventh trumpet, kingdom transfer, and eternal reign
• judgment of nations, reward for servants, small and great
• opened heavenly temple and unveiled ark

• recap of trumpets five and six and their symbolism
• the mighty angel’s imagery and global authority
• the little scroll debate and prophetic purpose
• seven thunders sealed and reasons for restraint
