At this point in Revelation and until the end of the book, we need to keep in mind that this section of Scripture is not disconnected from what came before it.
This is still the continuing story of the church and how it relates to the world.
I know it’s a separate vision, but it follows what preceded it.
One thing I want to point out here is that chapter breaks are often bad.
And we’re going to see bad chapter breaks for the next three chapters of Revelation.
They’re not inspired and they break up the text unnecessarily.
That being said, we are entering into a new section of the text where John is going to begin something called a chiasm.

What's the point of chiasm?
The point!
He sort of did this with the letters to the Churches.
The point was every church has good and bad to work on.
The point of the chiasm he will develop for the rest of this book is the middle- Babylon.
This is the experience of the church on earth as we long for Jesus’ return.
In verse 1 & 3, we see the phrase, "Event of great significance”- "Sign/symbol.
"Signifying through symbols."

Jesus.
The rod of iron comes from
Jesus' ministry is done in a verse.
Jesus is important, but don't miss the point here.
Jesus' ministry is done in a verse.
Jesus is important, but don't miss the point here.

In , there's more going on there than we realize.
This is why there’s a red dragon in our nativity.
Satan is dealt a death blow here, he's thrown down to the earth until God decides to kill him.
When was Satan cast out of heaven?
We were always taught that it was before time began and this is the only passage in the Bible that talks about it, and when are we?
The Christ event.
Here is where Satan is dealt a death blow here, he's thrown down to the earth until God decides to kill him.
He can't have been cast down to earth at the beginning of time because of .

It's not his name!
Who is the morning star? .
The Bible isn't concerned with where Satan came from.
The Bible is concerned with his destruction!
Make sure the beliefs that you have are what is revealed in Scripture.
Victory comes through suffering.
Four key facets are coming to fruition here at the Christ event that we see in verse 10:
1. God's Salvation
