Out Of His Mouth - Revelation 12:15-17

Revelation 12:15-17 ESV 

And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

Revelation 16:13

And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;

Satan opens his mouth. A flood issues forth which may remind us of the flood of Noah when God sought to cleanse the land of evil. The flood of Satan has the opposite intent, to cleanse the land of good. Water is a symbol of the darkness of mankind and is in contrast to the earth separated from the waters of creation. It is in our earth that can receive the light and seed of God. 

The three frogs represent the unholy trinity that leads the rebellion against God. 

His targets are those who worship God, Father and Son. This would be Israel and the body of Christ. The war is ongoing and grows in intensity in these last days. The wooden ark of the first flood is replaced by the body of Christ which shall deliver those who place their trust in the name of the Lord. 

The mouth of the earth are those who have the word of Christ in their hearts and on their lips. That word will prevail.
