Compare all
11 And athey overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, band they did not love their lives to the death.  
12 Therefore arejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! bWoe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, cbecause he knows that he has a short time.”  

The Woman Persecuted

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted athe woman who gave birth to the male Child.  
14 aBut the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, bthat she might fly cinto the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished dfor a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.  
15 So the serpent aspewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.  
16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus1 Christ.

Revelation 12:13

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth - When the heathen party saw that they were no longer supported by the civil power: -

He persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child - The heathens persecuted the Christian Church in the behalf of which Divine Providence had raised up a dynasty of Christian Roman emperors.
