REVELATION ITS GRAND VLOMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Seven - A New Nation - Continue

 The dragon did not give up!  "And the serpent disgorgedd water like a river from its mouth after the woman, to cause her to be drowned by the river." (Revelation 12:15) What is meant by "water like a river," or "a flood of water"? (The New English Bible)  Ancient King David spoke of the wicked mean who  opposeedd hin as "flash floods of good-for-nothing men"  [streams of worthless, " Young].  (Psalm 18:4, 5, 16, 17 ) What Satan now unleashes is likewise persecution by worthless or "good-for-nothing men." After 1922 Satan spewed out a flood of persecution against the Witnesses. (Matthew 24:9-13) This came to include physical violence, "framing trouble by decree," imprisonments, and even executions by hanging, shooting, and beheading. (Psalm 94:20) The debased Satan, having been denied direct access to God's  heavenly woman, set out wrathfully to attack her remaining seed on earth and to destroy them, either directly or by causing them to lose God's favor through breaking their integrity. But their resolve proved to be like that  of Job: "Until I expire I shall not take away my integrity from myself!" -  JOB 27:5.
