“Revelation has been urging its readers to conquer or overcome, and we have been told multiple times that the saints, the obedient church, will conquer by way of the cross, ‘by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,’ which would ultimately require that ‘they love not their lives even unto death.’ (Rev. 12:11) How is it that the saints conquer the beast and the beast conquers the saints ? How can both be true?”
