What is the water that pours out of the dragon's mouth in Revelation 12:15?

Revelation 12:15
So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

>>>> The ‘water’ signifies the false words from religious propaganda and the source of the flood is the carnal mind within each of us!

Using the very same accusations the dragon brought against the manchild, “accusing the brethren” as he spouts forth his flood of lies, deceits, and accusations against the woman who brought forth the manchild!

These are the MANY, many ; religious creeds, false doctrines, false accusation, obsolete traditions, commandments of man(adam), lying prophets, carnal-minded misinterpretations of God’s Word, carnal mistranslations of God’s Word, deceiving signs of wonders, false teachers , false preachers, religious charlatans, racketeering televangelist, religious-political influences, false-conspiracies(unvaccinated) etc…

It is meant to carry the Church away from it’s pure walk in the Spirit and Truth.

These are the Many false winded-doctrines of carnal-man, set to flood the Church of Jesus out of it’s protected Spirit realm and back into the word of death in the carnal-mindset(way of thinking/believing) = ignorance to the Spiritual Knowledge of God.

Revelation 12:16
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.

>>>> The earth signifies the earthly man mindset(beliefs).

There is a great battle right now with the powers of darkness for OUR very minds - what we believe to be TRUTH.

Many are given this :

2 Thessalonians 2:11
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

witness…

1 Kings 22:22
And he replied, 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.' 'You will surely entice him and prevail,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'

Isaiah 44:20
He feeds on ashes. His deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"

Jeremiah 4:10
Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD, how completely You have deceived this people and Jerusalem by saying, 'You will have peace,' while a sword is at our throats."

Romans 1:28
Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

1 Thessalonians 2:3
For our appeal does not arise from deceit or ulterior motives or trickery.

2 Timothy 4:4
So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

1 Timothy 4:1
Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

>>>>The ‘called out and chosen few’ are given this :

John 16:13
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

witness…

Isaiah 11:2
And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and strength, The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the LORD—

John 14:17
the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.

1 John 5:6
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ--not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.

>>>> Pay particular attention here:

John 14:16

New Living Translation
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.

English Standard Version
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,

King James Bible
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

witness…

John 14:26

New Living Translation
But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.

English Standard Version
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

King James Version
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

>>>> It is within our minds that we are enlightened and taught by the Spirit of truth!

Our Spirit has feasted on the KNOWLEDGE of God, since the book of Genesis, to the book of Revelation and beyond(Eternal Faith).

This Spiritual KNOWLEDGE, is NOW a solid foundation of Truth in our earthly minds. These Truth of Spirit is embedded by the LIVING Word of God, that is Jesus.

Lets us REMEMBER in the Holy Spirit that teaches us :

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

When the serpent sends forth his falsities, his lies, his distortions, his perversions of truth, his arguments, and his accusations that try to convince and speak to us in our minds.

What did Eve do ?!?

Eve ATE and SWALLOWED-UP, the flood of “serpent falsities, lies, distortions,perversions of truth, arguments and accusations.”

As a New creation in Jesus , we must “renew our minds” as Peter instructed :

Ephesians 4:17Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. 18They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. 19They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

25Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another

witness…

1 Corinthians 2:16
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
 
>>>> Our Spirit within, is quickened and is raised up into union with the spirit of Christ as a mighty defense, so that the mind of the Spirit becomes the understanding of the earthly soul.
Many, many carnal people would state falsely : ‘The mind of an earthly soul cannot know Spirit Truth, only the Spirit can”

The Truth is DISCERNED first by Spirit(husband) then the Spirit Truth is explained to our earthly souls (wife)

The Spirit within imparts this understanding of God’s knowledge over and over again(70x70) in teachings of the Spirit until this Truth becomes a rational-truth of Spirit in our earthly minds, thus how Believers of Faith in Spirit , transcend to Spirit-man(second Adam)

This is :

Revelation 12:16
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.

This very same event was laid as a foundation by Jesus himself, in how to handle and swallow up the lies of satan in Spirit Truth, that dilutes the lies into nothing.

Matthew 4:
1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But he answered, “It is written,

“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”5Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’and“‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”7Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”

10Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,“‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’”

11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Revelation 12:17
Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

Dan 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

Dan 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Rev 12:15 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.

Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

I do not believe that it is actually a flood by water but represents the people the antichrist has influence over.

Arms, power, strength, military might shall stand on his part.

The beast rises up out of the sea, humanity.

And has power over all nations, kindreds, and tongues.

Israel is protected for a 7 year period because God is going to restore the kingdom to Israel which is the last 7 years before He goes against the world.

Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

For the first three and one half years the 7 years peace treaty protects them.

Which the 7 years peace treaty caused all Hebrews to go to Israel.

Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Rev 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Rev 11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Rev 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Rev 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Rev 11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

God will send Israel 2 witnesses to turn them to the truth for the last three and one half years.

Which Israel is protected for the last three and one half years for the 2 witnesses will devour all people that try to mess with Israel or hinder their mission.

Which the world has no power against them.
 
I have heard it said that the water represents an attack.

I heard that maybe when Rome was persecuting Christians & I that it was extremely hard for Christians that they were in serious turmoil. Christians and their families lives in jeopardy constantly. This would represent the flood of course.

Then when the earth swallowed up the flood would be when Constantine made Christianity the national religion, ending the attack in dramatic fashion, no water to be found, so to speak.

all from memory, so some details could be misplaced.

in good faith

having this mind set, new from Father given to us through risen Son, that anyone who stands in continued belief to this truth of Father and Son for them too. Are given them new life by Father,. John 4:23-24, one, becomes humble and others know as their actions and reactions show this humbly so, taking no credit to the self only to Father. the same as Jesus did first, for us all to love willingly to all, wow woe is me!
Letting. those that sit in Moses's seat go ahead and sit there as in Psalms 1 reveals to me and all people as well.
Love overcomes all, As is now Done in Son first for us all John 19:30. Now is risen from the dead and has overcome all. John 16:33 for us to learn new daily in being given new daily to see and do willingly also, thank you Lord
 
I would argue water represents nations the dragon uses.

"“The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages." . This is in Revelation 17, but I see no reason to not apply the symbol here too, it fits.
