Revelation 12:6-9

February 23, 2021

A cosmic drama is unfolding in heaven. A full-on war is happening between God and Satan. (You can guess how that will turn out.) That “old serpent” from the Garden of Eden, who is God’s adversary and our enemy, will be kicked out of heaven where he has had access to God. Discover more of the fallout from this age-old conflict now decided for eternity.

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Revelation 12 introduces the first five of seven personalities who shape the drama between heaven and earth. This first character is “the woman,” describing the symbol that is Israel. Understanding this picture unlocks the book. Another personality is a red dragon, Satan himself in true character; he is our enemy and the most dangerous being in all of God’s creation. Learn more from this cast of characters and watch the drama unfold.

The blowing of the 7th trumpet ushers us chronologically right to the entrance of eternity. There’s a giant earthquake shaking Jerusalem, and people are furious with God because He is judging sin (they believed the “lie” that God never punishes). Meanwhile, we get a glimpse into the great joy that’s happening in heaven. So where would you rather be?

Then into the scene walk two witnesses… Who are they? Elijah? John the Baptist? We don’t know. These witnesses are lights before the powers of darkness. They’re filled with the Holy Spirit and have power over nature and the ability to strike the earth with plagues as often as they wish, which reveals God’s confidence in them. But then why does God allow the Antichrist to kill them? You’ll be so amazed at the answer.

Bitter and sweet—that’s how the angel describes the little book he tells John to eat. The judgment is bitter, but the future is sweet and full of promise. Breathe a little easier in this interlude between the 6th and 7th trumpets and learn more about the 70th week of Daniel we now are studying.

First, God the Father had this little book. Then He gave it to His Son, Jesus Christ, who alone could open it. And then He gave it to an angel, who gave it to John who was supposed to eat it. Discover what’s behind this curious book as we come to the end of the Great Tribulation.

Are you believing a lie? The people who suffer in the Great Tribulation will. They trust the wrong people, get involved in the wrong solutions, look for peace—or just safety—in the wrong places. It’s true in any season: The moment you reject the gospel and shut your heart to God, you become easy prey for any false teaching, cult, or error that puts you in their bullseye. Learn how to protect yourself from God’s Word.

The area around the Euphrates River holds something unique and special in God’s program. This is where the Garden of Eden was located, where the first murder was committed, where the first war was fought, where the Flood began, where the Tower of Babel was built, where Israel went into Babylonian captivity. It’s also where Satan will fight his last stand. Come visit the region—but don’t plan to stay.

What? God gives Satan the key to open the abyss? Why? In a scene that looks like it’s out of an apocalyptic movie, the gate to the abyss opens, a violent smoke fills earth’s atmosphere, and an army of locusts that look like horses come marching out. This is all-out demonic war on mankind. And what’s next is even worse. This is the Great Tribulation in process.

A tragedy is coming … not for those who know Jesus as Savior, but for a world that rejects Him, as described in the four trumpets of Revelation 8. Listen as Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us not only should this cause us sorrow, but it should get us moving to get the Word of God out to the world. “That is our solemn responsibility.”

In your imagination, what will the trumpet sound like that signals Jesus calling His children to meet Him in the clouds? What will the signal be that marks the beginning of the Great Tribulation? Will it sound like a bomb exploding or like a war breaking out? Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, explains the sound signals of the beginning of the end of earth as we know it. That’s what’s ahead in this study from Revelation 8.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
