Bible book: Revelation
Collection: Revelation
Musical styles: Cinematic Soundtrack

War begins in heaven as Michael and his angels stand. Dragon and fallen host collide but cannot keep their place. The ancient serpent, Devil, Satan, deceiver of the world is cast down. Earth receives the accuser who once spoke day and night. War in Heaven The kingdoms of this world belong unto the Lord. The dragon falls; the blood of the Lamb has overcome. The reign of Christ shall never pass away. Salvation, strength, the kingdom, and Christ’s authority are sounded. The faithful overcome by Lamb’s blood and by the word they bear. Heaven remembers every covenant and crown. The opened temple answers with the thunder of the throne. They do not love their lives above the truth, even unto death. Heaven rejoices; earth is warned, for the defeated dragon comes in wrath. War in Heaven The kingdoms of this world belong unto the Lord. The dragon falls; the blood of the Lamb has overcome. The reign of Christ shall never pass away. War in Heaven

About the passage

Revelation 12: The dragon is defeated and turns upon the woman's children

Chapter 12 pulls the conflict behind the churches into a vast symbolic scene. A radiant woman labors in birth while a red dragon waits to devour her child. The child destined to rule the nations is caught up to God and his throne, and the woman receives a prepared wilderness place. War in heaven then ends with the dragon's expulsion. The Book of Revelation finally names him plainly as the ancient serpent, the Devil, Satan, and the deceiver of the world. Heaven interprets his fall as the defeat of the accuser, while the saints overcome through the Lamb's blood and their testimony even when that faithfulness costs their lives. Cast down and furious because his time is short, the dragon pursues the woman, fails again, and turns his war toward her remaining offspring, defined by obedience to God and testimony to Jesus.
