Questions for Revelation 13

Summary of last week’s class:

In chapter 12 we were introduced to several of the main characters that will have an important role in the remainder of the book. The woman in chapter 12 represented the people of God, the dragon is the Devil, and the child born to the woman is Jesus Christ. The dragon unsuccessfully tried to devour the child, but the child was caught up to heaven to the throne of God. Next, the dragon turned his attention to the woman and her offspring. In this week’s class we will finish chapter 12 and see how the woman and her offspring overcame the dragon and how we can too. Chapter 13 introduces us to two more characters that are in opposition to God’s people. We will discuss the tactics used by God’s enemies to try and get his people to compromise (i.e., the mark of the beast) and how God’s people then and now could hold to their faith even under fiery trial.
