 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, in you who dwell in them. But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath because he knows the time is short. And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who gave birth to the male child. Who's he talking about? Israel. Who's Israel? All of God's people now in covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul makes that very clear in Galatians.
