Daniel 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.12:15-16 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.

I wonder why both names, the "serpent" and "dragon," are used in that one sentence? Is it just to show us that they are the same entity or is more being taught? Who is "they" that shall be overflown? The "they" is us...if we allow it. The woman Satan becomes wroth with is the same woman "travailing in birth and pained to be delivered." I thought it most interesting that one of the descriptions given in "broken" is..."bring to the birth."With the arms (the strength) of a flood they shall be broken, they shall be overflown. A flood is very powerful and sweeps away all that is unanchored in it's path. God tells us this flood of water comes from the mouth of the serpent....lies. As the water of Christ is the living water...the water from Satan is deception and it causes spiritual death. Those that allow themselves to be "inundated, conquered, overwhelmed or thoroughly washed away" in the path of that flood shall be broken...spiritually! We must be anchored in His Word, the living water, when that flood comes...and it shall come and we, as believers and followers of Christ....will be here. Many of us will be overcome in the flood of deception for...they SHALL BE BROKEN, they SHALL BE OVERFLOWN!Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (10) Ye are My witnesses," saith the LORD, and My Servant Whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no GOD formed, neither shall there be after Me. (12) I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are My witnesses," said the LORD, "that I am GOD.
He will be with us for He is the Word and that Word, that truth, will carry us through that time of deception, the hour of temptation, Satan's great tribulation. They SHALL NOT OVERFLOW THEE. We will be here witnessing for Him but we will not be drowned in the flood.
