Revelation 12:14-15

Revelation 12:14-15. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and halt a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

Read history and see what fierce and brutal persecutions were used like floods against the gospel of Christ.
