Revelation Part 8

(Revelation chapters 12&13)

Revelation 12:10  Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

The Woman and the Dragon.

The woman is I______________ and the Child she is to give birth to is Jesus.

The Beast out of the Sea.

The beast out of the Sea is the A_______________________.

The Beast out of the Earth.

The beast out of the Earth is the F_____________ P_________________.

The mark of the beast is the ultimate test of L__________________ and yet another open imitation of God.

Just as God sealed his people with a mark upon their foreheads, Satan is now doing the same for the inhabitants of the earth.  To make things even harder, people will not be able to buy or sell anything unless they bear the mark of the beast.

Take Away Lesson: The power of Satan and his followers to corrupt is real and it is powerful.  God is calling us to stand firm in our faith and persevere no matter what we face.

Revelation 13:16-17 ¹⁶ It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
