 ### The woman gave birth to a son. Who is he?
 
+[12:5]
+
 John talked about a woman who gave birth to a son. This was a metaphor. Because the son is described as being a leader who will “rule all the nations with an iron rod” many scholars think John was speaking about Jesus (see: 19:15; Psalm 2:6-9).

 ### Why is Satan called the old serpent?
 
+[12:9]
+
 In Genesis 3, a serpent tempts Adam and Eve. This serpent was Satan.

 ### Who accuses people?
 
+[12:10]
+
 Satan accuses Christians of sinning. Some scholars think that he accuses them before God. However, Christians do not need to worry about this because Jesus died and paid the penalty for their sins by dying for them. Other scholars think that Satan used to accuse people of sinning, but he stopped after Jesus died.

 ### How do Christians defeat Satan?
 
+[12:11]
+
 John says that Satan accuses Christians of sinning. He tells God. However, it does not matter. Christians have defeated Satan and when he accuses them, it does not matter. This is because Jesus, as the Lamb of God, already died so that they could be at peace with God. The testimony about which Christians spoke was testimony of the shed blood of the Lamb.

 ### Why does Satan have “only a little time”?
 
+[12:12]
+
 Most of the events of the book of Revelation occur over a short period of time. Because of this, Satan is only given a short period of time to do the things he wants to do that are written about in the book of Revelation.
 
 See: [Satan (The Devil)](../articles/satan.md)
 
+
 ### Why did the woman have wings?
 
+[12:14]
+
 John said that this woman had wings. This was a symbol. He wanted to say that God helped her when she needed to be helped. She was trying to get away from Satan’s attacks.
 
 See: Exodus 19:4; Deuteronomy 32:11-12

+
 ### What did Paul mean when he said a “time, times, and half a time”?
 
+[12:14]
+
 John wanted to say three and a half years. A time was a year. Times was two years. Half a time was half a year. This would make this time the same 1260 days he mentioned in 12:6. Some scholars think these are days, while other scholars think that each day represents a year. They think, therefore, that John was talking about 1260 years.

 ### Why was water coming out of the serpent’s mouth?
 
+[12:15]
+
 Scholars think the water coming out of the serpent’s mouth meant different things.
 
 1. Some scholars think John was speaking about God protecting the church during difficult times when Satan persecuted the church.
