<div class='section'>“He That Overcometh Shall Inherit All Things”</div>
<div class='section'>「得勝的，必承受這些為業」</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>1</span>As you read Revelation 12–22, look for parallels between what John saw and what you see in today’s world.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>2</span>Seek spiritual guidance to help you find personal lessons as you immerse yourself in John’s symbolic language.</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>Imagine a woman “travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>Now imagine “a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns” hovering over the woman, poised to “devour her child as soon as it was born” (Revelation 12:2–4).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>To understand these verses of John’s revelation, remember that these images represent the Church and kingdom of God and the peril they would face.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>For the Saints who experienced intense persecution in John’s day, victory over evil may not have seemed likely.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>This victory can also be hard to foresee in a day like ours, when the adversary is at “war with the saints” and has “power … over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations” (Revelation 13:7).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>But the end of John’s revelation gloriously shows that good will prevail over evil.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>Babylon will fall.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>Jesus Christ will reign as King of Kings.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>“God shall wipe away all tears,” and the faithful will reign with Him and “inherit all things” (Revelation 21:4, 7).</p>

<div class='section'>Revelation 12:7–17</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄12：7-17</div>
<div class='section'>The War in Heaven continues on earth.</div>
<div class='section'>天上的戰爭仍在地面上持續進行。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>We don’t know a lot about the War in Heaven, but there is a vivid though brief description of it in Revelation 12:7–11.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>As you read these verses, picture yourself as part of that premortal conflict.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>What do these verses teach about how you and God’s other faithful children overcame Satan?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>What does this imply about how you can overcome him in our day as he continues to “make war with [those who] have the testimony of Jesus Christ”? (verse 17).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>See also 1 Nephi 14:12–14; “War in Heaven,” Gospel Topics, topics.lds.org; Bible Dictionary, “Michael,” “War in Heaven.”</p>
<div class='section'>Revelation 14:6–7</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄14：6-7</div>
<div class='section'>Who is the angel that John saw preaching the gospel?</div>
<div class='section'>約翰看見傳福音的那位天使是誰？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>One fulfillment of the prophecy in these verses occurred when Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and led him to the records that he translated and published as the Book of Mormon.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>This book contains the “everlasting gospel” that we are charged with preaching unto “every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Revelation 14:6).</p>
<div class='section'>Revelation 17–18</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄第17～18章</div>
<div class='section'>The Lord invites me to flee Babylon and her sins.</div>
<div class='section'>主邀請我逃離巴比倫和她的罪惡。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>Revelation 17–18 contains unsettling images describing the sin, materialism, and lusts of Babylon—the symbol of worldliness and wickedness.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>Think of examples of Babylon-like conditions that exist today in the world, and ponder what you can do to follow the counsel to “come out of” Babylon and “be not partakers of her sins” (Revelation 18:4).</p>
<div class='section'>Revelation 20:12–15</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄20：12-15</div>
<div class='section'>All of God’s children will be judged out of the book of life.</div>
<div class='section'>神所有的兒女都將依照生命冊接受審判。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>Suppose an author offered to write a book about your life.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>What details or experiences would you want included?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>If you knew that your future actions would also be recorded, how would you approach your life differently?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>Think about this as you read about Judgment Day in Revelation 20:12–15.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>What do you hope will be written about you in the book of life?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>26</span>See also Bible Dictionary, “Book of life.”</p>
<div class='section'>Revelation 21; 22:1–5</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄第21章；22：1-5</div>
<div class='section'>If I am faithful, I will receive celestial glory.</div>
<div class='section'>我若忠信就能獲得高榮榮耀。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>27</span>In contrast to the descriptions of Babylon, Revelation 21–22 describes the celestial glory that awaits faithful followers of Christ.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>What images, phrases, or promises in these chapters inspire you to remain faithful even when it’s difficult?</p>
<div class='section'>Revelation 22:18–19</div>
<div class='section'>啟示錄22：18-19</div>
<div class='section'>Do these verses mean that there cannot be any additional scripture besides the Bible?</div>
<div class='section'>這幾節經文是否意指除了聖經以外，不能再有其他的經文？</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>Some people have cited Revelation 22:18–19 as a reason to reject the Book of Mormon and other latter-day scripture.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>However, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught:</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>“There is now overwhelming consensus among virtually all biblical scholars that this verse applies only to the book of Revelation, not the whole Bible.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>32</span>Those scholars of our day acknowledge a number of New Testament ‘books’ that were almost certainly written after John’s revelation on the Isle of Patmos was received. …</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>33</span>“But there is a simpler answer. …</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>The whole Bible as we know it—one collection of texts bound in a single volume—did not exist when that verse was written”.</p>
