“When the Son of Man Comes, Episode 24: War in Heaven.” Revelation gives us a different way to visualize the story of the Bible and our own struggles: we are caught in the middle of a cosmic battle between good and evil. Satan has already lost, but he isn't going down quietly.

“When the Son of Man Comes, Episode 25: Mark of the Beast.” In Revelation, Satan enlists powerful allies in his war against God's people. John recognized these dark forces at work in his day, and we can see them in ours, too.
