In Revelation 12 prophecy, which figure is the dragon pursuing?
Correct Answer:
The angels
Explanation:
Satan’s movement in Revelation 12 is driven by opposition to God’s plan of salvation. The dragon’s first aim is to devour the child born to the woman—the child represents Jesus. This immediate pursuit matches the text where the dragon stands ready to destroy him as soon as he is born. After Jesus’ birth and his ascent, the drama shifts to persecution of the woman and, subsequently, of her offspring—the faithful followers who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus. The angels aren’t the target described in this scene. Understanding this sequence shows why the dragon’s most direct pursuit is the child, not the angels.
