Illustrated Sunday School Lesson By Alfred J. Buescher

Scripture — Revelation 12:1—15:4.

1. According to John's vision in Revelation, a great wonder appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars.

2. The woman gave birth to a man child, but a red dragon lay in wait to devour him, so he was caught up unto God, and the woman fled to the wilderness.

3. John also saw the dragon that would have destroyed the child, and two beasts which deceived men by miracles and who, when men worshiped them, marked the men in the right hand or forehead.

4. John saw an angel who cried that if any man worshiped the beast and received his mark in his forehead or hand, the same should feel the wrath of God. (GOLDEN TEXT—Rev. 12:11)
