Then the dragon was enraged 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.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This is not the end.

Though the enemy is angry, he retreats for a time to restrategize a new plan.

It’s no time to gloat at victory but to prepare for the many battles still ahead of us.

The enemy is a clever beast possessing relentless armies of those who grow stronger with defeat.

Your reprieve is at hand but the war is still on.

This is not the end.
