In Revelation Ch 12-13 the great cosmic battle begins. The judgments have been announced in previous chapters and the tension between good and evil, God and Satan intensifies. The question is are these events specific events in the very end of time or have they begun already in the spiritual realm and will just intensify as the the end nears. Yet in the midst of all the battling between good and evil, God prepares, protects and preserves his own for, during, and after the fight!
