Text: "And the serpent [the dragon] cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth." Revelation 12:15,16 "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Revelation 13:11 ...a planted beast/nation! "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men," Revelation 13:13 ...the Anti-dove, as opposed to the true Dove of Acts 2! ["And when the day of Pentecost was fully come ... suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind... And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues..." Acts 2:1-4 "...the Spirit of God descending like a dove..." Matthew 3:16]
