People overcome Satan on a daily basis. Satan is behind many redeemed being persecuted and thrown in prison for the Gospel's sake. That has been ongoing since the Cross.You might not believe the devil is going to be cast out and trying people but it's been written and will go down as Revelation 12 states.
People overcome Satan on a daily basis
You left out the one phrase that claims the last 1992 years. Jesus has been our advocate against Satan's accusations: Revelation 12:10This is not talking about every day, this is talking about "the evil day" That day will be sometime in the future when Satan and his angels are cast down,
Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to with stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Sa'-tan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
This isn't some pesky spirit you're making it out to be bothering people for 2000 years.
This is Satan and his angels cast down. And he's very angry because he has a short time,
Revelation 12:12 "Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
Again, we're not talking about the past 2000 years, we're talking about Satan here defacto for a short time in the future to play savior and he has a very little time to do so.
Paul says he will be disguised as an angel of light. That's the snare that will come upon the entire world and the only way to overcome again is in this verse,
Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
It's about deception, the entire world will be deceived except the elect/saints. They know the truth, the rest of the world will buy into the deception.
Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
But the persecution comes from the devil throwing some into prison but they overcame him by their testimony and loved not their lives to the death.
This is the "evil" day that Paul talks about,
Ephesians 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to with stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Part of that armour is the word of God which is what they use to overcome him -the word of their testimony.
Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
The torment to the rest of the world is like the torment of when a scorpion stings. Symbolic of how the rest of the world will be paralized/trapped.
Luke 21:35 "For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."
Those who know the truth -who Antichrist really is cannot be deceived.
And the only ones that don't worship the antichrist/Satan are the ones chosen before the foundation of this world,
Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."
It doesn't say all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, it says all whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus; and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:"
Ephesians 1:4 "According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:"
The set aside ones/saints and the remnant that are Christians that are alive at that time that were chosen before the foundation of the world will give their testimony with the help of the HolySpirit/blood of the lamb and that's how they overcome. Christ states those that endure to the end the same shall be saved.
You might not believe the devil is going to be cast out and trying people but it's been written and will go down as Revelation 12 states.
The trumpets and vials are the Lord avenging the deaths of His people who were martyred in the 5th seal, as those martyred during the 5th seal cry out for Him to do.
God uses his own angels to pour out the wrath, after the 7th trump. And again, I believe the seals are a summary of events that are about to happen. Knowledge and signs that mirror Christ's signs in the gospels.
Again, this is the very same event, it will not happen multiple times.
Revelation 6:14 "And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."
Revelation 16:20 "And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found."
Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of Our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."
This happens immediately when Christ returns.
Revelation 11:16 "And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,"
Revelation 11:17 "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned."
Revelation 11:18 "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth."
This clearly show the nations being angry and thy wrath "is" come. It's comes when the 7th angel sounds when this earth age has finished. But you have the wrath already being started.
These verses talk about the wrath of God and that it's the vials that are filled with the wrath of God.
Revelation 15:1 "And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God."
The wrath of God is filled in the vials.
Revelation 16:1 "And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth."
God is certainly testing men in the tribulation (using Satan and his angels) but the actual wrath does not start until the 7th trump.
The animal sacrifices have to be started again so that the Antichrist can stop those in the middle of the 7 years.animal sacrifice? So what?, the megalomaniac pretend god will demand the temple be fully rebuilt before he will set foot in it. A tent just won't do, only the best for him.
40 years with hand tools & manual labor, 1 or 2 years with modern heavy machinery.The animal sacrifices have to be started again so that the Antichrist can stop those in the middle of the 7 years.
I am not saying that the sanctuary building will be a tent, but made of stone. There is a thread which talks about the temple in Revelation that John was told to measure. I would suggest to read through that thread.
There is not enough time like the so called herold's temple (the second temple) - 40 years to build - to fit within the seven years.
The verse does not say "daily" nor "animal".The animal sacrifices have to be started again so that the Antichrist can stop those in the middle of the 7 years.

Temple institute says they can rebuild Solomon's temple (which is smaller than Herod's but it is the original) within 2 years.
Except they just can't build it anywhere they want and expect it to be legit, not that it would be legit even if they built in where the two previous ones were. But as pretty much everyone knows, Al Aqsa Mosque is now located approximately where those temples previously stood.

Also if you know of a video that explains the chronology of Revelation that you found expecially insightful, please list that as well.
I had read somewhere that the Jews hold a Jewish religious law that all of the work on the temple mount cannot be done with modern heavy machinery because it would make noise.40 years with hand tools & manual labor, 1 or 2 years with modern heavy machinery.
Do you not agree that the act of 2Thessalonians2:4 of going into the temple, sitting claiming to be God, is future, to be done by the Antichrist ?The verse does not say "daily" nor "animal".
Antiochus Epiphanes was a real person that really fulfilled all that was written. But only a type of a future process. The whole process is not going to repeat exactly the same way.Do you not agree that the act of 2Thessalonians2:4 of going into the temple, sitting claiming to be God, is future, to be done by the Antichrist ?
That action is the "transgression" of desolation in Daniel 8:11-13 which does say "daily sacrifice"
11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Wait a minute... Tim, where are you getting that?The problem with current interpretation, is that Jesus is going to set up His throne and His Temple. No one else is doing that for Jesus. Then after the 7th Trumpet starts to sound, that sounding is a week of days. That is what gets split in the midst of that week. Then Satan will sit on the throne in the Temple Jesus set up. Instead of the Atonement of Christ the Prince, we will have utter desolation with Satan's dictatorship.
But the AoD is the image. That image becomes the beast. Or the AC figure people talk about. The problem is that most people interpret the chronological narrative of Revelation, and change it to fit other Scripture. John put the chronological order correct.
