The earth opening her mouth in response to the dragon having previously opening its mouth

[luigi]

In Revelation 12:16, we see the earth opening its mouth swallowing water coming from the dragons mouth with the intent to carry the woman away with the flood (Revelation 12:15). I would like to get a few perspectives on what these two scriptures are referring to before putting in my own two cents.

Revelation 12:15 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. 16 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.

I answer this question in a blog, which shows the one-to-one correspondences between the events of the Exodus and the events of the End Times:

The End Times and the Exodus, Part 2

... The 7 Seals of Revelation: Testing and Purification During and Soon After the Great Tribulation

... 2nd Seal, Exodus: The army of Egypt was destroyed: “The earth swallowed them.” Ex. 15:12    End Times: A red horse: “wars and rumors of wars.” “…the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the Dragon [Satan] had spewed out…” Rev. 6:3-4; 12:16; Matt. 24:6-7a

The repetition of the same words in both accounts is by no means coincidental.

Hello WilliamL,

It's amazing to me how you are the only one who in over 8 hours has a response to what the flood from the dragon that he hopes will carry the woman away is (although incorrect). Context provides the correct answer. When the dragon Satan is cast out into the earth (Revelation 12:9), he is then furious realizing the time remaining him is short (Revelation 12:12); at which time he then initiates retribution on the woman who will have brought forth the man child (Revelation 12:13). When we then look again at Revelation 12:12, we see that joy is pronounced in heaven, while on earth Woe is pronounced for all living creatures on land and sea as a result of the devils agenda upon his exile from heaven. This Woe for all living creatures on earth and sea, indicates the environmentally destructive nature the dragons agenda will have. The woman who will then be opposing the dragons agenda at this time; the dragon will then open his mouth (which is the same as the beasts mouth, proclaiming great things to come), hoping to carry away (assuage) the woman's opposition with his arguments. The earth, however, will swallow the lies coming from the dragons/the beasts mouth by showing the resulting environmental catastrophes coming from the dragons agenda.

 Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

Pure speculation without any scriptural basis.

The mouth of the Beast and the mouth of Satan are two different mouths, as we are told here:

Rev. 16:3 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Good day WilliamL,

The false prophet is another description for the beasts mouth, as is the little horn another description for the beasts mouth, all of which are recognized by many as being the Antichrist.

But to stay on topic, even if you were correct about the dragons mouth being other than the beasts mouth; the context in Revelation 12:15, nevertheless remains, that the arguments the devil will raise advocating its agenda that will try to carry away (convincingly ameliorate) the woman about its agenda, will according to the following verse in Revelation 12:16, prove false, as the earth will display the damage the devil is doing to the earth; which is also corroborated in Revelation 12:12, with the Woe pronounced that will occur on all living creatures on the earth and in the sea when the devil is cast down into the earth.

Revelation 12:15 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. 16 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.

Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
