The Two Beasts: Blessed Hope - The Book of Revelation with W. Robert Godfrey

Summary

The sermon explores the church's historical struggle against the dragon, symbolizing evil, using Revelation 12’s imagery of the woman, eagle's wings, and wilderness as protection. Despite the dragon's attempts to destroy the church and its "offspring" (those who keep God's commandments), creation offers refuge, and ultimately, the evil one cannot truly defeat believers, at worst "glorifying" them early by sending them to heaven. The practical takeaway is that while the church suffers persecution, it is divinely protected and will be glorified, even as the dragon enlists a beastly ally from the sea to continue its war.
