Questions for Revelation 12


Summary of last week’s class:


Last week we discussed the persecution of the two witnesses (i.e., the church). They would prophesy for 1,260 days and then they would be persecuted and killed (Rev. 11:1-3). Their persecution would not last because they would be raised from the dead by God (Rev. 11:4-14). Heaven erupted in worship again and praised God for delivering his people and for destroying those who tormented them on the earth (Rev. 11:15-19). In chapter 12 John shifts gears. He introduces the major characters behind the persecution the Christians were facing. He shows how Christians then and now can overcome hardship and difficulty by trusting in the Lord. There is a brief, but detailed description provided of our adversary (Rev. 12:9-10). Our adversary is shown as defeated and struck down and this should provide us with comfort and courage.


Questions for Chapter 12


  1. Who is the woman described in Revelation 12:1-2 (see also Rev. 12:13, 12:17)?

  6. What did Christians do to be victorious in Revelation 12:11? What does the word of their testimony mean? What does it mean that they did not love their lives even unto death?

  7. What is the purpose of the “wilderness” in the Bible (cf. Rev. 12:4, 12:14)?

  8. Why does the dragon pursue the woman (Rev. 12:13)?
