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.
The serpent opened its mouth and sent out a massive flood of water rushing toward the woman, trying to sweep her away and destroy her.

📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John around 95 AD during the persecution of Christians under Roman Emperor Domitian, this verse is part of a visionary narrative depicting a cosmic battle where the serpent, symbolizing Satan, pursues the woman representing God's faithful people, such as Israel or the early Church. This imagery draws from Old Testament themes, like floods symbolizing overwhelming chaos or enemy forces, to illustrate spiritual warfare. The context emphasizes Satan's futile attempts to destroy God's people amidst end-times events.
