War on the earth Revelation 12:13-17: The war on earth had to do with the persecution of the church by man and the protection of the church by God. God's people were given strength--two wings of the great eagle. They were in a place of nourishment. The three and one half years is the entire Christian age. God protects preserves and loves His people.

During all this time the Devil is still trying to win. He dumps rives of water upon God's people in the form of ungodliness, destruction and wickedness. The destructive lies of Satan are just another attempt to destroy the church. "In this chapter, Satan, the great enemy of mankind, depicted here as the dragon, has been introduced; but he will appear repeatedly in several different guises in the subsequent Chapter s of this prophecy."
