We open chapter 12 with a vision of this mysterious woman travailing in birth. We’re introduced to the dragon who is Satan and he is finally banished from heaven. With a short time left to make his final assault on planet earth we see the dragon raise up the beast or Antichrist and his false prophet. He will control the world’s political and economic systems requiring allegiance. But we’ll see that those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life will not adhere to his schemes.
