CHURCHvv. 13-16

Exod 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the

Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles'wings, and brought you unto myself.

Deut 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest,

fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad herwings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Ps 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!

therefore the children of men put their trust under theshadow of thy wings.

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall

renew their strength; they shall mount up with

wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

behold, the Lord bringeth upupon them the waters of the

over all his banks: And he shall

pass through Judah; he shall

overflow and go over

James 1:13-15 Let no man say when

for God cannot be tempted with evil,

neither tempteth he any man: Butevery man is tempted, when he is

A REVIEW OF CHAPTER 12

1. From the garden the ³seed of woman´ has been poised to

crush the head of the serpent.

2. Abraham¶s seed (Israel) was to bring that seed into the world

3. From the garden, Satan was poised to destroy the seed who

was to bruise his head (destroy him).

4. Satan failed. Jesus won. The church was established and

Jesus ascended into the heavens.

5. The church was given divine protection.
