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.
