This Means War

We trace Revelation 12 to show Advent as a story of conflict and hope: a child pursued by a dragon, the church sustained in the wilderness, and accusation broken by the blood of the Lamb. Light is winning, not because life is easy, but because Christ has already won. • Revelation 12 read and framed for Advent • Advent as invasion of light into darkness • Satanic assault through accusation and deception • The flood of lies and the need for discernment • Scripture as anchor against misinformation • The woman as the people of God in the wilderness • Divine protection and provision in hard places • Abiding in Christ as safety and courage • Heavenly victory; the accuser cast down • Conquering by the blood and our testimony • Courage, endurance, and certain hope “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”
