We will look in more detail at the spiritual warfare of the church as it is described in Revelation 12. This chapter is intended to be an encouragement for the “church militant.” While we are living in this world, we belong to the church militant. But we also belong to the “church victorious” in Christ. We need to know that we are already victorious in Christ even as we struggle against our enemies in this world. We will look at this chapter and consider these three points:
1. The successful birth of the king. (vv. 1-6)
2. The spiritual victory that accompanies his ministry. (vv. 7-12)
3. The wilderness experience of the church in the world. (vv. 13-17)
