With the third WOE, we see the strongest of warnings about the devil and what will ensue when he is expelled from heaven and caused to be
thrown down, with his armies, to the earth, for the devil is consumed by wrath and he knows he only has a short time. This is a WARNING for all of humanity—all those who have chosen to make their abode in this world.
The devil will be slinging slander and accusation around causing people to self-destruct through division. The division and relational chaos are likely to be unparalleled.
He focuses first on the woman Israel and persecutes her. The dragon’s animosity for the woman is evident in all the ways the Jew has been persecuted throughout time. But all of this being Yahweh’s plan, Yahweh Adonai has also declared that one-third of the populus will be protected and saved.
Those one-third will escape on the 2 wings of the great eagle, which just might be a reference to the United States and the military and political wings of the USA.
