Revelation Chapter 12
IN THIS LESSON
The key question to understanding this passage is simple: “Who are they?” Who is the woman? Who is the baby? Who is the great fiery-red dragon? Furthermore, why is the baby snatched away to God and His throne room immediately after she gives birth? Why does she flee to the desert? Why is she cared for for 1,260 days? The answers to these questions are not so simple. How would you answer?
