The War of the Ages, Part 3 (Revelation 12:13–17) John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon explores the prophetic narrative of Israel's persecution through biblical prophecy, focusing on the future tribulation period where Satan attempts to destroy the Jewish people. Drawing from Revelation chapter 12, the message emphasizes the dual sources of Israel's suffering - divine judgment and satanic hatred - with a particular focus on the coming "time of Jacob's trouble" that will be the most severe persecution in history. Despite Satan's destructive efforts, the sermon ultimately affirms God's redemptive plan for Israel, highlighting that these trials will culminate in the Jewish nation's ultimate salvation and recognition of Jesus Christ. The practical takeaway is that while persecution is real and intense, God's prophetic promises will ultimately prevail, bringing hope and restoration to Israel.
