Revelation 12:1-17 - “1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and ...

Hebrews 3:1 says, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.” Notice, Jesus is the Apostle of our confession; and Jesus is the High priest of our confession.

Revelation 11:1-19 “1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.” I’m going to break right here because I like to calculate things, and so I calculated 42 months by 12 months in a year, and came up ...

Do you know your enemy? A famous quote of General Patton was “I read the book!” That’s why he won the battle, he read the book which had the battle plan in it. Was that just a line in a movie? Well, whatever it was, it makes perfect sense. We would all do well to know our enemy and the names or aliases used by him and his cohorts.
