Revelation is full of pictures God showed to John. They remind us that God protects His family, and Jesus wins.
Today's Story
In this picture, God shows John a story about good and bad — and how good wins.
There is a baby, a very special baby. This baby will grow up to rule the whole world with love. But there is a big, scary dragon who does not want anything good to happen. The dragon tries to stop the baby.
But God is watching. God lifts the baby up and keeps Him safe. And God keeps the mother safe too, in a special place where the dragon cannot reach her. God takes care of His own.
Then a battle happens in heaven. A brave angel named Michael and God's angels stand up to the dragon — and the dragon loses! A loud voice in heaven shouts, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God have come!”
The dragon is strong, but God is so much stronger. The dragon never, ever wins. God keeps His children safe, and good wins in the end.
