I thought we already did this as a dragon. He persecutes the church as a serpent. He uses his subtle lies to deceive the world by distorting the scriptures.
SourceOkay, we're in 15. Now, the following verse describes the papal persecuting flood of enemies that murdered millions none know how many million of the followers of Christ were martyred during the first phase of papal Rome, David 415.
And the serpent that old serpent called the devil and Satan, the dragon, if you will, cast out of his mouth water, as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
The devil is after this woman, he wants to destroy her. But we find God interceding for his church, through the pilgrims who fled from Europe to the unpopulated shores of America, which helped put an end to some of the persecution, not only from the persecuting tyranny of the church state union in Europe, but also from the efforts of Satan to suppress the scriptures. Here is where a new form of government without a king and a liberated church without a pope was birthed in republicanism and Protestantism represented by the two horns like a lamb.
This was the founding of another beast, a new kingdom based on liberty and justice for all coming up sometime around the end of the first papal reign, which was 1798. All right. So here we are in David 4, the next verse, verse 16, and the earth helped the woman and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
What this is teaching is what I said here, that God interceded for his church through the pilgrims who fled from Europe to the unpopulated shores of America, which helped put an end to some of the persecution. All right, the earth, the unpopulated area, opened her mouth and swallowed up the enemies which the dragon cast out of his mouth after the woman.
