To obtain a better understanding of these chapters, see the footnotes and Joseph Smith Translation, Revelation 1:1–8; Revelation 2:26–27; 12:1–17.
- •What came out of the Savior’s mouth in John’s vision? (See Revelation 1:16.) What did this sword represent? (See D&C 6:2.) In what ways is the word of the Lord like a sword? (See Hebrews 4:12; Helaman 3:29.)
- •In John’s vision, what did the Lord promise those who overcome the trials and temptations of mortality? (See the scripture chain in this section.)
- •How will the Church and kingdom of God finally overcome Satan? (See Revelation 12:11.) How can the Atonement of Christ and your testimony of it help you in your own struggle against Satan?
Suggestion for Family Discussion
Read Revelation 6:12–14 and Revelation 16:18–21,
and explain that these passages describe things John saw in his vision
of the last days. Then explain that although some of the prophecies in
the book of Revelation
can be frightening, other prophecies in the book of Revelation can give
us hope and help us be unafraid during difficult times. Read a few of
the passages from the scripture chain in this section to find some of
those messages of hope.
