Sand Of The Sea - Revelation 12:17

Revelation 12:17 ESV 
Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.

Genesis 32:12
But you said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”

Isaiah 10:22-23
For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction is decreed, overflowing with righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts will make a full end, as decreed, in the midst of all the earth.

The sand of the sea can symbolize Israel and the those who hold to the testimony of Jesus. The dragon wages war on those that follow God. Witness the open hostility of of the world against Israel and the mounting persecution of Christians here in the U.S. and around the world. 

A full righteous end is looming before us and then the sea will be no more.
