What if the events we see unfolding on earth are only part of the story? Revelation 12 pulls back the curtain and gives us "heaven’s perspective on history," revealing an ancient spiritual war that stretches from Genesis to the Great Tribulation. Behind the kingdoms, conflict, and chaos stands the dragon—Satan—waging war against the woman, Israel, and her promised Seed, Jesus Christ. Yet every attempt of the enemy ultimately serves the sovereign purposes of God. Satan could not stop Christ at His birth, and through His death came the very victory Satan sought to prevent. In this message from Revelation 12:1–6, Pastor Matthew Maher traces the war behind the world—from the promise of the Seed, to the cross, to the throne, and finally to Israel’s flight into the wilderness for 1,260 days. The enemy moves through history, but God rules over history. Watch as we uncover the battle that shaped the world before time, the battle raging throughout time, and the battle that will climax at the end of time. Thank you for watching a Landmark video.
