The Dragon, the Beast, and the Baby - Feb 19 - The Transfiguration of Our Lord

In the highly symbolic Revelation 12-14, John records a vision of a great Dragon (the Satan) pursuing and trying to kill a Baby (Jesus Messiah), attempting to crush him with two henchmen, the beast from the sea and the beast from the land, symbols of the political and economic power the Enemy uses to try to destroy God and his people. But they are thwarted by the sovereignty of the Lamb who redeems his people and destroys his enemies.
