Revelation 12:15-17


15 Then out of his mouth the serpent spouted forth water like a flood after the woman, that she might be carried off with the torrent.
  • There are going to be a lot of people who are against us trying to change people’s hearts and souls by whatever means.
  • Satan pours people out to persecute the Church. Most of the world will be and are against the Bride of Christ, many are called to be Jesus' bride but only a few are chosen. Many of these people will be doing their actions against us in the Name of the Lord too. Waters represent people in prophetic writings. We can look at History and see that this is true; the world has always been against our Father and His chosen ones. Our Father has always allowed them to be, it allows us to see that He is alive and real, and it gives the world no excuses when they are judged. We can especially see that satan has always used wolves in sheep’s clothing. He has always used those who look religious, but whose hearts desire is to take you from God and place your trust in a lie that will destroy you. Examples like praying to Mary, or some other person that was used by our Father. Making graven images and bowing down before them. Placing one man above every other and then telling us that that man is the substitute for Christ on this earth. There are several other religions that do the same things, I am only pointing out the Catholic Church here, to go along with the anti-christ, who I believe will be the last Pope. The anti-christ’s seat is in Rome and he will have great political power. We will study more on this later, but as we study the Revelation of our Lord, keep this in mind.
16 But the earth came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spouted from his mouth.
  • By us not having to depend on Babylon we will be protected from the anti-christ.
  • If we had to depend on money, doctors, governments, jobs, insurances, or any item of the world, then the end times would be hard for us. But we will be removed from needing anything that the world has to offer during the Great Tribulation and thus we will flourish.
17 So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman, and he went away to wage war on the remainder of her descendants—[on those] who obey God’s commandments and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ [and adhere to it and bear witness to Him].
  • We are shown that during the end times our Father will allow satan to actually kill many of us. 
  • We have been shown already how the world reacts when the 2 witnesses are killed. 
  • Satan failed before, he has always failed, and he will fail again here. Even when the whole world is against us, through Christ, we will absolutely prevail.
  • During the end times many of us will be martyred for being used by the Holy Spirit to tell of Jesus. Satan will be furious because of it, think of it, he will have empowered the anti-christ and the false prophet with all of his power, and through Christ we will still prevail. He will have ordered that we cannot buy or sell, and we will prevail. Satan will see millions of his people coming against us and yet we will prevail. Everything that satan does has failed, and everything that he will do will fail.
