Victory of the Saints over the Dragon

December 20, 2019July 29, 2020 David R Maas

Synopsis: The saints overcome the Dragon and his forces through the death of the Lamb and their faithful witness, “even unto death” – Revelation 12:11.

In Chapter 12 of the book of Revelation, the “sign of the Great Red Dragon” appeared, a sign that war had commenced “in heaven,” the battle between the Dragon and Michael the Archangel. This “war” is the heavenly counterpart to the earthly events described in the passage: The Dragon’s attempt to devour the Son at his birth from the Woman clothed with the Sun. This “son” is a messianic figure destined to “shepherd” the nations. But the Dragon fails when the Son is exalted to God’s throne (Revelation 12:1-12. Compare Revelation 5:5-12, Psalm 2:7-9).

Armageddon, Lamb

RIDER ON THE WHITE HORSE

October 16, 2019December 25, 2021 David R Maas

The Messiah “shepherds” the nations by the “word” that proceeds out of his mouth in preparation for the final battle – Revelation 19:11-16.

The vision now anticipates the destruction of the “beast” and the “False Prophet” by introducing the warrior figure riding a “white horse.” The groundwork for the coming “battle” was laid with the announcement of the victory of the “Lamb” over the “beast” and the “kings of the earth” in chapter 17 (For he is “Lord of lords and King of kings”).
