“When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach. 15Then from his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.”

Just for reference!

Yes, that is the passage that best demolishes any idea of a “pre-trib” rapture.

“those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus” would be the very people that the dispys strive to have removed before Satan is cast down to Earth.

Makes no sense at all, especially in light of Revelation 20, where only those resurrected at the last trump are said to be “blessed,” and not subject to the second death.

Hopefully the internet will educate those who are getting disinformation in church.
