Summary

In Revelation 10-12, the Bible discusses spiritual warfare, emphasizing that our battles are not against people, but against spiritual forces of wickedness. In Revelation 12, there's a symbolic image of a woman, representing the church, with the sun as Jesus, a crown of twelve stars as the twelve apostles, and the moon as the Jewish people. The dragon, symbolizing Satan, has always tried to harm humanity and the church. Despite ongoing battles, Satan's defeat is certain, thanks to God's love and patience as He awaits more believers.

In Revelation 13 and 14, we encounter prophecies like the fall of Babylon and the mysterious number 666. Speculations about its meaning have existed throughout history, but its true significance will become clear when the time comes. Superstitions about this number are unwarranted. Instead, we should focus on doing the work God called us to, loving Him and others, and spreading the Good News.

Revelation 17 and 18 discuss a great sinful city, Babylon. While its identity is uncertain, we should find encouragement in the fact that throughout history, evil entities have risen but eventually faced destruction. Recent examples like ISIS remind us that evil will ultimately be judged by God. We serve a powerful and just God who acts at the perfect time, bringing swift and certain judgment when necessary.
