BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 16, Day 4: Revelation 12:10-12
9) “Salvation, power, kingdom of God and authority of Jesus” has come. The accuser has been hurled out of heaven to earth.
10)
“They triumphed over him”: Believers beat the devil by the blood of Jesus.
“By the blood of the Lamb”: Jesus’ blood saved believers from God’s wrath.
“And by the word of their testimony”: By God’s word and testimony of what Christ did for us, we are saved and have life.
“They did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death”: Jesus gave up his life so that believers could gain life with Jesus.
11a) There was a war in heaven until Satan was hurled to earth. Those on earth must fight the devil who is attacking them, but those in heaven are free now. Note Satan’s time is limited to attack humanity.
b) That time is of the essence since no one knows when Jesus will return.
12) I know that I have the strength to defeat Satan with God’s strength in me. I have confidence that Satan will not win over my life. I worship God all the more for this!

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 16, Day 4: Revelation 12:10-12
Note the voice is not God because of the words “our brethren” referring to humans.
The saints and believers overcame Satan in heaven because of:
- The blood of Jesus
- Testimony
- Our desire to give up our physical lives for our spiritual life with Jesus
If we don’t cling to our physical lives, Satan cannot harm us. We are God’s spiritually.
Satan’s time and influence on earth is limited. This should encourage every believer when they are under attack by the devil.
