In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture on Revelation, Daniel Mikkelsen is joined by Ian Paul—Anglican minister, New Testament scholar, and author of the Tyndale Commentary on Revelation—for a wide-ranging conversation on the meaning and message of Revelation 12.
From the strange imagery of the pregnant woman and the dragon to the central question of the problem of evil, Revelation 12 offers both a cosmic drama and a message of hope. Ian Paul explains why this chapter is often seen as the heart of Revelation, unpacks its use of myth and symbol, and shows how it speaks to fragile first-century life and to our world today.
Whether you’ve wrestled with apocalyptic literature before or are new to Revelation, this episode explores what makes this text unique, how it fits within its historical context, and what it means to trust Christ in the face of evil.
