How They Conquered the Dragon May 30, 1875 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11 .

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 12:1-17

Chapter 12And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head [the sun and the moon under her feet, and on her head] a crown of twelve stars ( Revelation 12:1 ):The identity of the woman is found in Genesis as we read of the dream of Joseph, how the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to him and so the same figure here. We have the identity of the woman as the nation of Israel, those twelve tribes that came out... read more

The husband is delighted to supply his wife with every comfort; his counsel guides,... read more

Revelation 12:3-4A great red dragon.The great warA contest here is waging which enlists and engages the mightiest powers that exist. It is the great and far-reaching conflict between good and evil, between truth and falsehood, between right and usurpation, between the kingdom of God and the empire of Satan, between heaven and hell--the great war of a divided universe, coming to final issue upon this little world of ours! It is largely silent and invisible. Though raging round us every hour, we... read more

Revelation 12:5-6She brought forth a man child.The Church protected1. The godly of the Christian Church brought forth by the pains of the apostles and their successors, are called but one man child: which teaches, that all the true members of Christ’s Church should be in a holy unity but as one man (Acts 4:32); and of masculine courage for the truth (Jeremiah 9:3) against all opposition.2. Whereas that which is primely proper to Christ is in a secondary respect attributed to His Church, to rule... read more
