God & ManGod loves us and desires a relationship with us. (Gen. 3:15)God & Satan (Gen. 3; Eph. 6:12)Satan fought against God's promise.The devil failed to destroy the Christ child. (1-5)The woman represents the people of God.The devil lost the war with Michael. (7-9; Jude 9)The devil fails to destroy God's faithful church. (10-17)Satan's accusation can't stand up. (10, 11; Rom. 3:23; Rev. 1:5; 5:9; 7:14; Rom. 8:31-34)God's church continues to spread. (13ff; Acts 8:1-4; Matt. 16:16)Satan can kill the body but not the soul. (15-17; Rev. 2:10)Satan's time is limited. (12; Luke 22:53; Rom. 16:20; Gen. 3:15)There will be no fear if we are covered by the blood of the Lamb.
