Revelation 12:15-16

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. 

Satan pours people out to persecute the Church. Most of the world will be against us, many are called to be the Bride of Christ, but only a few are chosen. 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. He does this because 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. 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. 

Satan’s people are always stopped. So whether it is a wilderness that our Father delivers us to, a natural disaster, or a miraculous event, satan fails each and every time. Failures always cause anger, and satan is always angry. During the end times the whole world is against us and many of us will be sacrificed for our testimony, but not all of us! There will be those who are alive in Christ that will be caught up to be with our Lord in the air when the seventh trumpet is sounded.

Remember what we have been shown, a third of the water is ruined; there are earthquakes, asteroids, darkness, and plagues. Our Father will use humans, as well as supernatural events, to pour His wrath upon the children of the devil. But Grace is never abounded by our Father. He is always love. Our Father’s wrath is not revenge, it is wrath against what is wrong and He will aggressively cleanse it from His creation. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord and eternity will be filled with multitudes of people who at one time aggressively attacked the Church, just like Paul did.
