The dragon has only a short time, so he pursues the people of God with false teachings and persecution. But we have the Word and the Spirit to crush him under our feet. In the end, the Lamb wins! We just need to rely on the everlasting arms of our mighty Savior and get our directions from His Word.

Satan has served as an adversary to God, even arguing against God's merciful nature. But now that Jesus' blood has paid our sin debt, he has no basis for his accusations. He is now trying to keep people from service to God with temptations, false doctrine, and persecution. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

False teachers have been prevalent throughout Christianity. In today's message, we will address some of the NAR's false teachings and their ties to the New Age. God's word guards us against false teachers because of its sufficiency, inerrancy, clarity, and necessity.

There is a war taking place between the forces of good and evil. The beginning of Revelation 12 describes this ongoing battle between good and evil. The only way for the darkness to fight the light is to keep people from it and try to draw those in light back into darkness. It has been a repeated effort to keep the Messiah from being born, but now that the effort failed, the attack is focused on those who follow the Messiah.

Right in the middle of the book of Revelation, the author writes that it is over. God wins, and Satan loses, and the wicked are judged. How does this come about? Why does this fall in the middle of the book? I offer some interpretive thoughts.

The two witnesses, whether they are Moses and Elijah, or represent the church, are not conquered until they have finished their testimony. We are protected until we have done what God has called us to do. The sermon discusses the different interpretations of the 42 month testimony and the Antichrist reign of the same length.
