"the Serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman"

Revelation 12: 15-17
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.
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.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

What flood? After praying over this passage, one day while reading His word: it was as if He spoke the answer. It was one of those moments when I had all but forgotten I asked the question when out of nowhere...there was the answer.
"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. And the earth helped the woman and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood"

Isaiah 45:7-8
[7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things . [8] Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.

Is it not God's wrath and vengeance we are to fear? Was it not God's wrath that was poured out on to the earth in a flood for man's wickedness, God saving only those found hidden within the Ark? An Ark prepared to save those found "right" with God?

Exodus 7:12
[12] For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. Aaron's rod became a serpent that swallowed up their rods.

(Exodus) And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. And thou shalt say unto him The LORD GOD of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

Psalm 69:14-16
[14] Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. [15] Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. [16] Hear me, O Lord ; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

"Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up,"

Psalm 57:2-3
[2] I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. [3] He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Isaiah 25:7-9
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. [8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it . [9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord ; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

The personhood of God; God in the flesh as Jesus Christ come to save: "wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:" God in the flesh of man opened His mouth and swallowed wrath in our place. God, in a vessel made of earth and flesh...Drank of hell and death in our place.

Romans 8:3
[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Mark 14:35-36
35] And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. [36] And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

Romans 5:9-10
[9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

The earth opened and helped the woman by swallowing the flood the dragon cast out of his mouth. "Death is swallowed up in victory."

1 Corinthians 15:54
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

"Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up," God prepared Salvation: saving us from the deep swallowing us up. He has saved from the waterflood.

Again, Isaiah 45:7-8 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things . [8] Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.

Hebrews 6:7
For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet from them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Romans 8: 18-21
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Truth said:

As Noah, and those that were with Him floated above Gods Judgment, So shall we be raised above the Judgement which soon comes, as we shall meet Him ABOVE with His return, as the Earth is reassembled into what was in the beginning!

I don't know. Wish I did. I pray for Him to reveal the truth and not allow deception. Here are few things to consider:

One) air. Is it really what we think?

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Ephesians 2:1-2
[1] And you hath he quickened , who were dead in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2) We understate His "brightness".

Daniel 3:24-25
[24] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. [25] He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

The consuming Fire is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8
[5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? [6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. [7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let , until he be taken out of the way. [8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Hebrews 1:3
[3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Revelation 21:23-24
[23] And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. [24] And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

2 Peter 3:11-13
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, [12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

The LORD is that heat: Consumes, cleanses, purifies with His righteousness


I hate reducing it to a cheesy-movie scene. I do not believe it will be that way at all. No clothes laying around of people raptured out. We have been fed lies: if anything there will be dead meat carcasses littering the earth....because that dead decaying body is what is not going.

Consider:
Deuteronomy 8:3-4
[3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live. [4] Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.

Is God really referring to clothing?

one thing I am certain of is: being born of God is the only way to withstand His righteous judgment. And no matter who is right or wrong about endtimes, one thing is certain...Death is swallowed up in Victory. Christ (express image of his person) is that Victory for those that will accept Him as the Ark.

When the Son of man is revealed.

Luke 17:30
[30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

With the brightness of His coming...are we not a part of that brightness? Are we not all a part of the body of Christ?

Son of prediction:
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; [4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Isn't this man without God? Carnal man Exalting himself above all that is God in the temple of God which is the body?

Ephesians 2:2
[2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

2 Thessalonians 2:7 KJV
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let , until he be taken out of the way.



So many questions...
