Sermon Text for Sunday: Revelation 12:1-6
Critically Think
- Read Revelation 12:1-6.
- How many signs are found in this passage?
- Can you identify who the woman is? Is this a literal woman or a figurative woman?
- Can you identify who the dragon is without reading past verse 6?
- Who is this child as identified here in these verses? Is this a literal child or a figurative child?
Prayerfully Meditate
- How does John expect his hearers to understand this passage?
- Who is the conflict between; the woman and the dragon, or the child and the dragon?
- What is the dragon waiting for? Why is he waiting?
- Read Genesis 37. Are there any similarities? Any differences?
- What large themes in Scripture do these two signs relate to?
Intentionally Act
- What hope can we draw from this passage? Think of at least two ways.
- Meditate on what you think this passage means? How did you learn that? What informs your understanding?
- Prepare your heart to listen with fresh ears and an open Bible. Examine your understanding according to God's perfect, inerrant, sufficient, and clear Word of life.
