‏ Revelation of John 12:14

v. 14–15: Satan’s malice continues even in the wilderness, where the church is hidden and protected. He casts out a flood of water to sweep the woman away. This likely refers to a flood of false teachings and heresies, such as those spread by Arius, Nestorius, and Pelagius. These heresies threatened to overwhelm the church. Heresies are as dangerous as open persecution because they come from the same source—the devil.
