The God who gives peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

The dragon was very angry with the woman. He went off to make war against the rest of her children. They obey God’s commands. And they hold firmly to the truth they have said about Jesus.

But then the chosen time came. God sent his Son. A woman gave birth to him. He was born under the authority of the law.

You belong to your father, the devil. You want to obey your father’s wishes. From the beginning, the devil was a murderer. He has never obeyed the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his natural language. He does this because he is a liar. He is the father of lies.

The Lord himself will give you a sign. The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.

People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the pain that should have been ours. But we thought God was punishing him. We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer.

Those children have bodies made out of flesh and blood. So Jesus became human like them in order to die for them. By doing this, he could break the power of the devil. The devil is the one who rules over the kingdom of death.Jesus could set people free who were afraid of death. All their lives they were held as slaves by that fear.

“ The virgin is going to have a baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called Immanuel.”( Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means“ God with us.”

The field is the world. The good seed stands for the people who belong to the kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong to the evil one.

“ You are a child of the devil! You are an enemy of everything that is right! You cheat people. You use all kinds of tricks. Won’t you ever stop twisting the right ways of the Lord?

You will become pregnant and give birth to a son. You must call him Jesus.He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king like his father David of long ago.The Son of the Most High God will rule forever over his people. They are from the family line of Jacob. That kingdom will never end.”“ How can this happen?” Mary asked the angel.“ I am a virgin.”The angel answered,“ The Holy Spirit will come to you. The power of the Most High God will cover you. So the holy one that is born will be called the Son of God.

Then a war began in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back.But the dragon wasn’t strong enough. Both he and his angels lost their place in heaven.The great dragon was thrown down to the earth, and his angels with him. The dragon is that old serpent called the devil, or Satan. He leads the whole world astray.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven. It said,“ Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God have come. The authority of his Messiah has come. Satan, who brings charges against our brothers and sisters, has been thrown down. He brings charges against them in front of our God day and night.They had victory over him by the blood the Lamb spilled for them. They had victory over him by speaking the truth about Jesus to others. They were willing to risk their lives, even if it led to death.So be joyful, you heavens! Be glad, all you who live there! But how terrible it will be for the earth and the sea! The devil has come down to you. He is very angry. He knows his time is short.”The dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth. So he chased the woman who had given birth to the boy.

The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

I have given you authority to walk all over snakes and scorpions. You will be able to destroy all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you.

Then the Lord sent poisonous snakes among the Israelites. The snakes bit them. Many of the people died.The others came to Moses. They said,“ We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

So I will give him a place of honor among those who are great. He will be rewarded just like others who win the battle. That’s because he was willing to give his life as a sacrifice. He was counted among those who had committed crimes. He took the sins of many people on himself. And he gave his life for those who had done what is wrong.”

How long will you wander, my people Israel, who are not faithful to me? I will create a new thing on earth. The woman will return to the man.”

That is why Scripture says,“ When he went up to his place on high, he took many prisoners. He gave gifts to his people.”( Psalm 68:18)

He took away the weapons of the powers and authorities. He made a public show of them. He won the battle over them by dying on the cross.

I will not say much more to you. The prince of this world is coming. He has no power over me.But he comes so that the world may learn that I love the Father. They must also learn that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me to do.“ Come now. Let us leave.

Who is it that has won the battle over the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

The Lord will hand over his people to their enemies. That will last until the pregnant woman bears her promised son. Then the rest of his relatives in Judah will return to their land.

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives. His disciples followed him.When they reached the place, Jesus spoke.“ Pray that you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted,” he said to them.Then he went a short distance away from them. There he got down on his knees and prayed.He said,“ Father, if you are willing, take this cup of suffering away from me. But do what you want, not what I want.”An angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and gave him strength.Because he was very sad and troubled, he prayed even harder. His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Every day I was with you in the temple courtyard. And you didn’t lay a hand on me. But this is your hour. This is when darkness rules.”

Don’t be afraid of what you are going to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you. You will be treated badly for ten days. Be faithful, even if it means you must die. Then I will give you life as your crown of victory.

Now it is time for the world to be judged. Now the prince of this world will be thrown out.And I am going to be lifted up from the earth. When I am, I will bring all people to myself.”He said this to show them how he was going to die.

The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There the devil tempted him.After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry.The tempter came to him. He said,“ If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”Jesus answered,“ It is written,‘ Man must not live only on bread. He must also live on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”( Deuteronomy 8:3)Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He had him stand on the highest point of the temple.“ If you are the Son of God,” he said,“ throw yourself down. It is written,“‘ The Lord will command his angels to take good care of you. They will lift you up in their hands. Then you won’t trip over a stone.’ ”( Psalm 91:11, 12)Jesus answered him,“ It is also written,‘ Do not test the Lord your God.’ ”( Deuteronomy 6:16)Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.“ If you bow down and worship me,” he said,“ I will give you all this.”Jesus said to him,“ Get away from me, Satan! It is written,‘ Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’ ”( Deuteronomy 6:13)

I saw an angel coming down out of heaven. He had the key to the Abyss. In his hand he held a heavy chain.He grabbed the dragon, that old serpent. The serpent is also called the devil, or Satan. The angel put him in chains for 1,000 years.Then he threw him into the Abyss. He locked it and sealed him in. This was to keep Satan from causing the nations to believe his lies anymore. Satan will be locked away until the 1,000 years are ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

But he did not sleep with her until she gave birth to a son. And Joseph gave him the name Jesus.

He himself suffered when he was tempted. Now he is able to help others who are being tempted.

Jesus prayed while he lived on earth. He made his appeal with sincere cries and tears. He prayed to the God who could save him from death. God answered Jesus because he truly honored God.

“ And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High God. You will go ahead of the Lord to prepare the way for him.

The beast was allowed to make war against God’s holy people and to overcome them. It was given authority over every tribe, people and nation, no matter what language they spoke.

I saw in heaven another great and wonderful sign. Seven angels were about to bring the seven last plagues. The plagues would complete God’s anger.Then I saw something that looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire. Standing beside the sea were those who had won the battle over the beast. They had also overcome its statue and the number of its name. They held harps given to them by God.They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb. They sang,“ Lord God who rules over all, everything you do is great and wonderful. King of the nations, your ways are true and fair.Lord, who will not have respect for you? Who will not bring glory to your name? You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you. They see that the things you do are right.”After this I looked, and I saw the temple in heaven. And it was opened. The temple is the holy tent where the tablets of the covenant law were kept.Out of the temple came the seven angels who were bringing the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen. They wore gold strips of cloth around their chests.

You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.

“ You nest of poisonous snakes! How will you escape from being sentenced to hell?

Dan will be a snake by the side of the road. He will be a poisonous snake along the path. It bites the horse’s heels so that the rider falls off backward.

John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing. He said to them,“ You are like a nest of poisonous snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming of God’s anger?

“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)

They might hide on top of Mount Carmel. But I will hunt them down and grab them. They might hide from me at the bottom of the ocean. But even there I will command the serpent to bite them.

When the 1,000 years are over, Satan will be set free from his prison.He will go out to cause the nations to believe lies. He will gather them from the four corners of the earth. He will bring Gog and Magog together for battle. Their troops are as many as the grains of sand on the seashore.

After the 62‘ weeks,’ the Anointed King will be put to death. His followers will desert him. And everything he has will be taken away from him. The army of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the temple. The end will come like a flood. War will continue until the end. The Lord has ordered that many places be destroyed.

They will pick up snakes with their hands. And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all. They will place their hands on sick people. And the people will get well.”

Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. A poisonous snake was driven out by the heat. It fastened itself on Paul’s hand.The people of the island saw the snake hanging from his hand. They said to one another,“ This man must be a murderer. He escaped from the sea. But the female god Justice won’t let him live.”Paul shook the snake off into the fire. He was not harmed.The people expected him to swell up. They thought he would suddenly fall dead. They waited for a long time. But they didn’t see anything unusual happen to him. So they changed their minds. They said he was a god.
