Revelation 12-Satan comes like a flood!

The Woman Persecuted

13And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

15Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent. 16But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth to swallow up the river that had poured from the dragon’s mouth. 17And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore.b 

Satan begins an all out persecution of Israel in the last 3-1/2 years of the tribulation period. He also seeks to destroy those who come to Jesus. 

Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV)

19 So shall they fear

The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

Satan comes like a flood, drowning everything in his path. 

“It is precisely when Satan has lost the battle for the souls of saints in heaven that he begins the fruitless persecution of their bodies.” (Farrer)

Time is short and Satan knows it. He is enraged and wants to destroy all of God’s people. Many will die and many will be martyred.

Blessings, David
