The Beast Rises to focus Satan’s fury on the rest of the Woman’s offspring. Who are the rest of her offspring? They are the people of God’s purpose. These are they who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. These are the believers in the end time who become the focus of Satan’s fury. Our generation of Christians knows very little of suffering for the faith. But those who have gone before us knew much and faced much. That suffering always resulted from Satan’s fury against the message of the Messiah. But believers stood fearless and alone in the face of persecution or death for their commitment to Christ. So in the last days, working through his agent, The Beast, the dragon will make war on the saints.
