REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Seven - A Riveal Woe! -Conclusion

 Here the vision picks up the thought introduced in verse 6, which tells us that after the birth of her child, the woman flees  into the wildernerss, away from the dragon. We may wonder how the dragon can persecute the woman since she is in  heaven, and the dragon has now been cast down to earth. Well, remember that the woman has children here on earth, her seed. Later in this vision, we are informed that Satan expresses his rage toward the woman by persecuting her seed. (Revelation 12:17) What happens to the woman's seed herebon earth may be regarded as happening to the woman herself. (Compare Matthew 25:40)   And the growing number of companions of the seed here on earth  would also experience these persecutions.
