Ep 34 - The Eternal Battle between Lucifer and God

Voyage | Book of Revelation & Genesis | Shalom World

From Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation, we see the second half where the drama begins. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan begins reading from Chapter 12 and explains why St. John wants to give us a full picture of the battle between God and satan before the final stages  St. John takes us to the beginning so that we can see the fall of Lucifer, he wants us to see the victory of Jesus on Calvary… Satan has opposed Jesus from the moment of His birth; this is the same pattern satan will follow for the church. St. John wants the Christians to know that satan is a defeated foe who uses every bit of his dying energy to oppose Christ. He wants us to know that Jesus has won the battle and is reigning in heaven. St. John also wants the church to know that she must lay her life down for Christ in order to be with Him at the banquet. Between Chapters 12 and 14, St. John gives us 7 signs that lead to the end times: * The woman clothed with the sun * The huge red dragon * The beast from the sea * The 2nd beast from the land * The Lamb and His companions on Zion * The 3 Angels announcing judgment * The harvest of the earth The human will has to surrender to the Divine Will.
