Revelation 12:15 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. 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.
Especially will this be the case with persons who are preaching the straight unadulterated truths for this generation, which expose and identify error, and in turn point earth’s teeming multitudes to the truths of God’s word. So, basically in a nutshell, if you are a true remnant currently, you must understand that the devil would be coming after you with a baseball bat, to put it in layman’s terms.
This statement is not a figment of our imagination, it’s just the plain old truth, verified via sacred history, through the annals of time. Our first passage specifies who are the main objects of the dragon’s ire. It’s not the popular majority who are already doing his bidding, it is the few remnants who are keeping alive the knowledge of God on the earth.
The presence of God-fearing persons upon the earth presents a persistent nagging problem for the dragon, and this enrages him exceedingly. Thus, all who make a conscious decision to live in harmony with the law of God, become the objects of his wrath. Basically, that’s what our first passage is saying in a nutshell. The serpent went after Abel for the sole reason that he obeyed God.
Genesis 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. 9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
