Revelation 12:10-17 A Demonic invasion like a flood
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 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. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
January 6th is a great example of “the accuser of our brethren”. Videos are coming out exposing all the lies and nasty accusations. We can see the police waving people in, we can see people in the crowd running to the police to do something, we can see the people in the capitol acting like respectful tourists. The facts come out as well, we can see the false accusations of “insurrection” yet no one is charged with having a weapon. We see the false story about the officer being beaten to death changed to dying from Bear spray changed to dying from a stroke that was not related to the event. We can see Ashley Babbit being shot and killed and those in charge hiding the identity of the person who shot her.
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.
There are two sides to this story. If you are raptured to the heavens it is a time of rejoicing. If you are left on the earth it is a time of woe. For many Christians it will be a time of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Once again, we see another reference to this “zombie apocalypse”. The inhabitants of the sea are the demons. There appears to be a number of bread crumbs concerning this. The most vile of people who are guilty of bloodguiltiness get expelled from the cemetery, so even though it is the dead in Christ that rise first, the damned also rise and fallen angels who have been kept in chains in gloomy bonds apparently go to and fro on the earth gathering these ones up. The damned being raised is Biblical, the angels being held in chains released to the Earth is Biblical, and the description of this being “gross darkness” is Biblical. Woe to those inhabiting the Earth and Sea is also Biblical and that is because the Devil is come down unto you.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Already in many countries on earth the church is persecuted, but apparently it will become really horrific at this time. The dragon wanted to devour the child but was restrained, held back and unable to. But once the restrainer steps aside the devil is released to terrorize and persecute those who remain on earth. However, this turns God’s people to trust in God and there is a great revival. They want to turn the saints into slaves, but failing to do that the only option left is to cut off their heads lest the whole world follow them in the revival.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
My understanding is that “the great eagle” signifies the US. True, Mexico also has an eagle as their national symbol, but they would not be the “great” eagle. I understand this as being a flood of immigrants to the US across our border, even flying in from all over the world. Obviously before that could happen the laws concerning immigration would have to be loosened which is what we are seeing. A time, and times and half a time is understood as 3 ½ years which is also what the 1,260 days represents in the Jewish calendar. As a rule our tribulation is only for a short period of time compared to the eternal weight of glory. If I was left on the earth for the 1,260 days I would be counting each day, focused on preparing myself to be taken.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
So here is another example, you have the man child, you have the woman and you have the remnant. The word remnant means “a small remaining quantity of something”. Some are taken, some will remain. Two are in the field, one is taken, one is left behind. In Greek the word for the one left behind is used to indicate divorced. This is a common thread whenever the rapture is discussed. This flood that they are referring to is quite unnerving, how many times does the Bible refer to a “flood”? How many times does the “earth open his mouth to swallow up a flood”. As bad as the floods are now in Europe and China I don’t believe this rises to what John is referring to, at least not yet.
