What does the Antichrist try to do to the woman in Revelation 12:15?
In Revelation 12:15, the Antichrist, called the serpent, tries to destroy the woman by casting water from his mouth as a flood after her. He intends to cause her to be carried away or destroyed by that flood. This flood is his attempt to sweep her away.
Les explains that the serpent, or the Antichrist, casts water out of his mouth as a flood after the woman, intending to carry her away or destroy her by the flood. The woman is given two wings of a great eagle to fly into the wilderness to a place God prepared, where she is nourished for three and a half years—described as a time, times, and half a time, and matching the days mentioned in verse 6. Les compares this to Israel leaving Egypt under Moses: when Pharaoh heard they were leaving, he commanded their destruction and sent his army. So the Antichrist seeks to annihilate the woman, but God sustains her.
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.
