| Summary, etc. | The Book of Revelation and the study of the tribulation have interested many readers over the centuries. This thesis examines verses 7-17 of Revelation chapter 12to determine what the scriptures reveal regarding the relationship between victory and tribulation for the saints. This is also to reveal what the Bible and specifically Revelation teach about the doctrine of tribulation. Moreover, it is to discover if tribulation is avoidable or part of God’s plan and purpose, wherein victory also lies. An exegetical study was undertaken that included the general, historical backgrounds as well as a complete literary analysis. The method of exegesis employed was the literary-theological approach. The interpretive approach employed was the eclectic approach. This study has revealed that Revelation 12:7-17 has direct implications for all Christians, including contemporary Christian believers as they face tribulation in this world. This thesis revealed the ultimate sovereignty of God who, through Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit, will advance his kingdom and accomplish his eternal purposes. It shows that it is the church of Christ, consisting of both Jews and Gentiles, that victoriously partakes in this mission. Revelation’s rhetorical message encourages the saints to stay faithful to the One who already accomplished the victory, aiding them to endure tribulation. It is from this important perspective that the Apocalypse emphasises that tribulation can be endured, because the saints already achieved victory in God’s realm, which will culminate in ultimate triumphant the return of the Lord. |
