Finishing the lesson on the great war, finds us in Revelation 12:12 to the end of the chapter.
An apology is necessary due to us not having any audio with this lesson, but the following information will, Lord willing, help you gain insight into this interesting lesson.
Within the great war, during the tribulation, Satan will be filled with a great wrath. His access to heaven will be cut off, and even though we in heaven will be rejoicing over that fact, Satan will still be working hard to prevent Jesus' final return to set up His eternal kingdom.
Revelation 12:13 tells us that Satan will be persecuting the woman who brought forth the man child. This tells us that Satan will be persecuting Israel, which out of Israel, came Jesus.
The "woman" will be given two wings so that she can fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she will be nourished. God will give Israel the protection that she needs to endure this persecution. God always gives us protection - even if it means we must die to be protected and safe from the evil one.
Revelation 12:15 says that Satan will cast water out of his mouth like a flood, after the woman. Satan will rally his armies against Israel, but he will not succeed.
Jesus has provided safety and surety to His people. The Bible says that earth will help the woman. The earth will open her mouth and swallow the flood of armies that Satan will attempt to use. God will provide supernatural abilities and also natural resources on the earth to protect His people.
God's people are not just the people that He has chosen. In fact, God has chosen all of us. He wants and desires all of us to be saved from hell and to live eternally with Him. Each of us have a choice to make. We will either ignore God's pleas and follow the devil or we will turn to Him, believing that He is our Savior. God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross a long, long time ago. Jesus was perfect. His body was perfect, His mind, actions, speech, and thoughts were all perfect. His blood flowed down that cross and God saw that from heaven and knew that that perfect blood was the only payment that would cover your sins and mine.
If you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and that you know that you can't get to heaven by your own works, just tell God. Just speak to him openly. Tell Him that you know what He did for you and that you want Him to save you and give you eternal life forever when you die.
He will do it. He has promised it, in the Bible. Romans 10:9 says, That if thou (you) shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
See, not only did Jesus die for you, but He rose from the dead three days later. It will be a wonderful day when we see our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and be able to spend eternity with him.
