Rev 12:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16 : God provides timely help for the church. The earth opens its mouth and swallows the flood , stopping the danger to the woman (Revelation 12:16 ). Some believe this refers to the invasions of the Goths and Vandals, which distracted the rulers spreading heresies, giving the church relief. God often uses wars and conflicts to protect His people or avenge His covenant. Even the greatest threats to the church are under His control.
