You’ve probably seen the old prank: someone places a rubber snake beside an unsuspecting friend. They glance over, jump back in fright—only to realize the danger isn’t real. The fear is real, but the snake has no power.
That’s the picture Revelation 12 gives us of evil. It may look threatening, but it’s already defeated. This chapter marks a turning point in the book—and in our series—because it shows us how God has already won the victory over evil.
I invite you to read this week’s passage celebrate God's victory. Then, join us in person or online, as we continue our journey through the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
With you for Christ,
Jeremy

Next week (on September 21) we will celebrate the global event, International Day of Peace. Established by the United Nations in 1981, it allows individuals, groups, and nations to reflect on and take action to promote peace within their communities. Today, peace can feel distant as wars and emergencies unfold in Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, Yemen, and elsewhere. Yet, even in the darkest moments, inspired by our faith, we find hope in the work being done to bring relief. PWS&D is committed to fostering peace by providing lifesaving aid, psychosocial support, hygiene kits and medical supplies to those affected by conflict in the world. As we mark this day, let us reflect on Jesus’ words: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).
