I share with you a verse that perhaps many churchgoers do not know?

Revelation 13:7

And I say to you, do not be discouraged. In Revelation 14, I think, Jesus helps us overcome.

I've always seen this passage (Rev13:5-7) as parallel with what is stated in Daniel 7:20-25,27, where in that passage it states, in v.21 (about the "horn" of v.20), "... the same horn MADE WAR with the saints, and PREVAILED AGAINST them"

["prevailed against them" and "overcome them" being equivalent, in these two passages]




[note Jesus' words in Matthew 16:18, though, where He specifically is speaking of "My Church" that He "WILL build," says, "the gates of hell/hades WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST *it*[/His Church, aka "the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY"--see Eph1:20-23 WHEN (as to its existence)]."]


Welcome to CC. Hope to see you around the boards. = )

It's plain from many passages that the beast can only overcome believers by killing our flesh, which in the eyes unbelievers is everything. So the saints actually overcome the beast (Rev.12:11).

Actually, keep reading from Chapter 13 until Chapter 20. It is Revelation Chapter 20 where we win with the help of Jesus.

Actually, we win in our everyday lives with the help of Jesus and Rev.20 is where the unrepentant realize it.
