dc.descriptionA Bible study on Revelation, chapter twelve; presented to the Pastoral Conference of the Northern Illinois District; April 16, 1958; River Forest, Illinoisen_US
dc.description.abstractIn this 1958 Bible study on Revelation 12, Dr. Siegbert W. Becker explores the symbolic portrayal of the Church’s triumph over Satan. He identifies the woman clothed with the sun as the Church, crowned with twelve stars representing the Old and New Testament saints. Her child, destined to rule with a rod of iron, is Christ, whose ascension marks Satan’s defeat. Becker interprets the war in heaven as Christ’s victory through His death and resurrection, casting Satan down and silencing his accusations. The Church, though persecuted, is sustained in the wilderness by the Word of God. Becker warns against worldly compromise and false doctrine, affirming that the Church’s nourishment comes from the Gospel, not merely sacramental ritual. Though the battle continues on earth, the final victory is assured through the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Abstract generated by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4)
