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.
