The Bible describes a conflict between Christ and Satan that affects humanity and the future of the world. This lesson examines how the conflict develops in the final period of Earth’s history and explores the prophetic symbols in Revelation that the study uses to describe powers involved in that conflict.
The lesson continues the series’ exploration of the great controversy and end-time prophecy. It considers the imagery of the beasts in Revelation 13 and relates these symbols to the historical and religious powers identified in the lesson. The study encourages readers to examine the biblical passages carefully and understand how the series interprets the conflict over worship, authority, and loyalty to God.
