The Context — The History
Chapter 12 portrays cosmic war: dragon versus woman and child. Believers overcome Satan not by political power but Lamb's blood, truthful witness, and willingness to die.
The Narrative — The Lead-Up
Michael expels the accuser; heaven rejoices. Brothers and sisters conquer the devil by the Lamb's blood, their testimony word, and not loving lives unto death-avoidance.
