1. They triumphed over Satan by the blood of the Lamb (1-12)

The woman is Israel who gives birth to the Messiah. He will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. God clothed her with the glory of the sun, moon, and stars. The enormous red dragon appears with seven heads, ten horns and seven crowns to devour the child. But God snatches the baby to his throne and sends the woman into the wilderness. This dragon, Satan was already defeated by Michael and thrown into the earth but now leads the whole earth astray furiously for his time is short. But salvation and the power and kingdom of God, the authority of the Messiah has already come on earth. The church triumphs over Satan by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their testimony at the cost of their lives.

2. The woman flew in the wilderness (13-17)

The dragon hot pursues the woman. So the woman runs into the wilderness. But God grows his church in the wilderness where there is nothing to depend on but God alone. Thus hardships by Satan will be a chance for the church to grow in her faith. They will grow to keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus through hardships.
