Jesus wins - Satan loses

This study focuses on the great controversy between good and evil down through centuries. Revelation 12 presents four great episodes in this conflict. In each of these conflicts, Christ is revealed as our victorious Lord, our triumphant Redeemer, and our mighty Conqueror.

The key thought in this study is that, despite Satan’s vicious attacks on God’s people and his attempts to destroy them, Jesus wins, and Satan loses. This thought is vital in preparing us to understand Revelation’s end-time message, found in Revelation 14:6–12. Although God’s people will face oppression, persecution, and imprisonment, as well as an economic boycott and a death decree, they have the absolute assurance that, on the cross, Jesus triumphed over the principalities and powers of hell. Satan is a defeated foe. The same Jesus who never lost a battle with Satan will not lose the final battle either. Jesus will see His people through to victory in earth’s final conflict.

There are challenging times ahead. God’s people will face their greatest test in the final days of earth’s history, but we can face our future trials with the supreme confidence that in Jesus, through Jesus, and because of Jesus, we too can be victorious.
