Scripture focus

13. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child]. 14. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 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. 17. 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.

Woman. See on v. 1. Being now unable to attack the Son of God directly, the dragon attempts to hurt the Son through the mother, by persecuting the mother of the man-child, the church (see on v. 6).

Man child. See on v. 5.
