The Wroth of the Dragon - Revelation 12:17

The three and a half years tribulation under the beasts of Revelation chapter 13 is the wroth of the Dragon (Re.12:17, Re.14:12-13 below).

The Dragon (Satan) is angry with the woman (the church - 1 Cor.10:32, the living body of Christ Jesus - Col.1:24) and goes to make war with the remnant (the rest) of her seed (Matt.24:9, Re.13:1, Re.13:7, Re.13:11, Re.13:15, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25).

The Seven Last Plagues are the wrath of God (Re.15:1, 6, 7, 8, Re.16:1 below).


Re.12:17 And the DRAGON (Re.12:9, Re.20:2) was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Re.14:12 Here is the patience of the SAINTS (Re.8:3-4): here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Re.12:17 above).

Re.14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write BLESSED (Dan.12:12) ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH (Re.16:6): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Re.15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels HAVING THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES; for in them is filled up the wrath of GOD (Re.15:7 below).

Re.15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, HAVING the seven plagues (Re.15:1 above), clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

Re.15:7 And one of the four beasts GAVE unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of THE WRATH OF GOD (Re.15:1 above, Re.16:1 below), who liveth for ever and ever (Dan.12:7).

Re.15:8 And the temple (Re.15:5) was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, TILL THE SEVEN PLAGUES OF THE SEVEN ANGELS WERE FULFILLED.

Re.16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple (Re.15:5) saying to the seven (plague) angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of THE WRATH OF GOD (Re.15:7 above) upon the earth.
