Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the Child. But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened up its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon spewed out of his mouth. And the dragon was enraged with the women, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Consideration: The serpent, with all of his power and might, tried to destroy the woman. God's creation, the earth, protected the woman against the evil serpent. The serpent, defeated, took out his anger on those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Father, the woman clothed with the sun, who gave birth to the male Child, Jesus Christ, was protected. The Child who would set the captives free from the evil serpent.
