Revelation of John 12:12
The Woman and the DragonThis section continues the story of the conflict between the church (the woman) and Satan (the dragon). Although Satan has been defeated in heaven, he continues his attacks on the earth. His hatred is not just for God’s people but for humanity as a whole. The church is protected by God, yet Satan’s malice pushes him to new schemes. Even so, God provides help at the right time, and the church survives despite the devil’s constant rage.v. 12: A warning is given: “Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!” (Revelation 12:12 a). Satan is full of wrath because he knows his time is short. Though he targets God’s people most, he also seeks to harm all humanity. His anger grows as he sees his time and power are limited.
