Bible Question: Are John 12:31 and Rev. 12:7-17 talking about the same thing? |
Bible Answer: Hi Hugger, You have a very interesting comparison of Scriptures. I would also compare John 12:31 and Rev. 12:11. "But (He) was saying this to indicated the kind of death..." with "And they overcame him because of the blood of the (Lamb)". Parenthesis mine. There are two things that will be important for you in order for you to hold this view of yours. l)You'll have to believe Rev. 1:1 that this revelation is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which (God) gave Him..." 2)You'll have to believe in the Deity of Christ. Rev 12:5 "And she gave birth to a Son, a male (Child), who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was caught up to God and to His throne." Parenthesis mine for comparison. We have a great God and a great sacrifice. The power of sin has been broken when Jesus is glorified. John 3:12 "If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the (Son) of Man. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life." |
