Chafing because of the third woe, Satan is now intent on afflicking mankind with his own particular brad of woe. It is: "Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." (Revelation 12:12b) Satan's ouster from heaven does indeed mean woe for the literal earth, which is being ruined by selfish humans under his control. (Deuteronomy 32:5) Even more so, Satan's policy of 'ruin or rule' brings woe to the symbolic earth, the structure of human society, as well as the symbolicsea,, the turulent mass of mankind itself. During the two world wars, Satan's wrath was reflected in the wrath of the nations subject to him, and similar explosions of demonic rage continue to this datyothough not for much longer! (Mark 13:7, 8) But terrible as the Devil's may be, they will never approach the woeful effect hat the third woe-action by God's Kingdom-will produce on Satan's visible otganization!
