FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE WOMAN, THE
CHILD AND THE DRAGON
( Revelation 12:1-6; 16:13,14; 20:2; 11:15; 19: 15,16)
A woman that was described in verse 1 on of Revelation 12
is plainly identified in the scripture as Israel. Israel is called
a married woman and she is referred to as a mother. So,
the woman who travails and brings forth the man child,
the Messiah, refers to the nation of Israel.
The dragon (Satan) is described as God's enemy. The
account here takes us back to the time of Satan's fall
when he led a rebellion against God in heaven and drew a
third part of the angels after him.
FULL DESCRIPTION
OF THE
WOMAN, THE
CHILD AND THE
DRAGON
The dragon is described as " having seven heads and
ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads"( Rev
12:3). The seven crowed head represents seven
worldly kingdoms through which Satan ruled and will
continue to rule until he is defeated by Christ. The
ten horns symbolize power, might and strength
referring to the final form of the ruler-ship over the
world at the ending time.
In verse five of our text, the Man-Child who is to rule
all nations is Christ. Satan could not stop His
incarnation and will not be able to stop His
coronation. Christian youths should know that
though Satan has fought and resisted defeat for a
long time, at God's appointed time, Christ will appear
to destroy sin, evil, and Satan's kingdom to establish
the kingdom of righteousness.

At the time of the fall of Satan, there was war in
heaven. The true source of war or conflict is lust,
inordinate desire and unholy ambition. Lucifer, who
became Satan had an evil desire, prompted by an
ambition for self-exaltation. Christian youths must
watch over their thought, ambition and desire
against lust, these corrupt actions are what stirred
his heart to begin war.
FINAL DEFEAT OF THE DRAGON AND ITS WRATH ON EARTH
Because of Satan's seeking to rule and to be like the most high, Michael
and the holy angels were forced to fight against the unholy ambition of
Satan. This did not stop the initial war and conflict. He had fought against
him many time and is still going to do so for Israel in the great tribulation.
Satan lost the battle and was cast out of heaven, no one can fight against
God and win. Youths who reject God's plan of salvation through Christ are
fighting God.

Verse 9 of the text refers to Satan as " that old
serpent", this reveals that the real tempter in the
garden of Eden was the devil. Deception had been
used by Satan since the beginning of the world and
will continue with opposing God and the truth.
God is praised because he has granted salvation, the
devil who was cast out of heaven to earth will try to
hinder as many people as he can from submitting to
god through woe and sorrow
Despite his effort, there will be multitudes of
overcomers, youths that are genuinely converted are
kept pure and are preserved by the power of the
blood of the lamb. God who helped sustain saints of
old will give victory to present-day believers

The dragon being cast down to the earth will come
against Israel and with great wrath knowing his
time is short. His attacks will be in three waves (
Rev 12:13,15,17). They may be concentrated at the
whole world but will eventually concentrate on
Israel.
The flood of water is symbolic because it
represents a vast army of the antichrist, mighty
and powerful enough to overthrow or destroy a
whole nation. God will miraculously aid Israel to
escape the Antichrist to a place of safety and to
escape the wrath and the fury of the devil. He will
help them to escape on the wings of an eagle
taking a flight of safety. The imagery of the wings
of an eagle speaks of the speed of flight to safety

It is to be noted that ONLY TRUE BELIEVERS will be raptured
before the time of the Great Tribulation. During this time, true
believers will be spectators watching from a distance the scenes
of the horror, pain and anguish upon the world. To escape the
Great Tribulation all believers must ensure they follow and walk
after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness
and resist the prevailing evil of corruption, vanities and deception
of today.
QUESTION
In Revelation 12, the depiction of war in heaven, the defeat of the dragon, and the coming wrath on earth signify significant prophetic events involving Israel, the Messiah, Satan, and Christ's ultimate victory. This chapter unveils a blend of historical and future occurrences, highlighting the cosmic battle between good and evil.
