GOD IS SO GOOD - REVELATION - 12 : 11 , And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb , and by the word of their testimony ; and they loved not their lives unto death . 12 , Therefore rejoice , ye heavens , and ye that dwell in them . Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea ! for the devil is come down unto you , , having great wrath , because he knoweth that he hath but a short time . 13 , And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth , he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child . 14 , And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle , that she might fly into the wilderness , into her place , where she is nourished for a time , and times , and half a time , from the face of the serpent . 15 , And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman , that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood . 16 , And the earth helped the woman , and the earth opened her mouth , and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth . 17 , And the dragon was wroth with the woman , and went to make war with the remnant of her seed , which keep the commandments of God , and have the testimony of Jesus Christ . ( THE CRITICAL BLOW TO SATAN WHEN THE LAMB JESUS CHRIST , SHED HIS BLOOD FOR OUR SINS . THE VICTORY IS WON BY SACRIFICE - CHRISTS DEATH IN OUR PLACE TO PAY THE PENALTY FOR OUR SINS , AND THE SACRIFICES WE MAKE BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN HIM . AS WE FACE THE BATTLE WITH SATAN , WE SHOULD NOT FEAR IT OR TRY TO ESCAPE FROM IT , BUT LOYALLY SERVE CHRIST WHO ALONE BROUGHT VICTORY ( ROMANS 8 : 34 - 39 ) .THE DEVIL BEGINS TO STEP UP HIS PERSECUTION BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS BUT A SHORT TIME . WE ARE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS , AND SATANS WORK HAS BECOME MORE INTENSE . EVEN THOUGH SATAN IS VERY POWERFUL , AS WE CAN SEE BY THE CONDITION OF OUR WORLD , HE IS ALWAYS UNDER GODS CONTROL . ONE OF THE REASONS GOD ALLOWS SATAN TO WORK EVIL AND BRING TEMPTATION IS SO THAT THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE CHRISTS FOLLOWERS WILL BE WEEDED OUT FROM HIS TRUE BELIEVERS . SATAN KNOWS THAT THE GREAT CONIFRONTATION WITH JESUS IS NEAR . HE IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO RECRUIT AS GREAT AN ARMY FORCE AS POSSIBLE FOR HIS FINAL BATTLE . WHILE THE WOMAN ( 12 : 1 ) REPRESENTS FAITHFUL JEWS AND THE CHILD ( 12 : 5 ) REPRESENTS CHRIST , THE REST OF THE CHILDREN ( REMNANT OF HER SEED ) COULD BE JEWISH BELIEVERS OR ALL BELIEVERS , MOST LIKELY IT REFERS TO ALL BELIEVERS . THE APOSTLE PAUL TELLS US WE ARE ALL IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE ( EPHESIANS 6 : 10 - 12 ) . JOHN SAYS THE WAR IS STILL BEING WAGED , BUT THE OUTCOME IS ALREADY ALREADY DETERMINED , SATAN AND HIS FOLLOWERS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED AND WILL BE DESTROYED . NEVERTHELESS SATANS BATTLE IS TO BRING MORE INTO HIS RANKS AND TO KEEP HIS OWN FROM DEFEATING TO GODS SIDE . THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST HAVE GONE INTO BATTLE ON GODS SIDE , AND HE HAS GUARANTEED THEM VICTORY . GOD WILL NOT LOSE THE WAR , BUT WE MUST MAKE CERTAIN NOT TO LOOSE THE BATTLE FOR OUR OWN SOULS . DONT WAVER IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO CHRIST . A GREAT SPIRITUAL BATTLE IS BEING FOUGHT , AND THERE IS NO TIME FOR INDECISION . GOD BLESS YOU ALL ... I LOVE YOU :)
