The Dragon, Michael, and the Woman (Revelation 12)
Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain on a cosmic war: the great red dragon (Satan) vs. Michael the archangel and his armies, the Woman who gives birth to the male Child (Messiah), and the persecution of her offspring. We’ll trace the storyline, identify the symbols, and ask what this means for disciples living in a culture at war with the Kingdom.
What we cover
War in heaven: Michael vs. the Dragon; why Satan is cast down
A third of the stars: what the text implies about fallen angels
The Woman, the Child, and the wilderness: how Genesis 37 and Psalm 2 illuminate the signs
How we overcome: “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony” (Rev 12:11)
Now and not yet: the ongoing spiritual battle on earth (Eph 6:12)

Revelation 12:1–17; 12:7–12 • Genesis 3:15; 37:9–11 • Psalm 2:9 • Luke 10:18 • Jude 9 • Ephesians 6:10–18
