That 'power' being the strength of The Word, Christ Jesus. Returning to the sixth seal: 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. This ‘flood’ is a flood of lies, not a literal flood of water, since the key word is ‘mouth’, which is where the flood originates from Satan ('the serpent'). Rev.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. God promised His elect, that they would be protected during this tribulation, as He counters the ‘flood’ in order to save His remnant. This analogy also relates to the 150 days (five month period, the same length of the tribulation) of Noah and the ark being upon the waters of the flood which happened. Luke 21: Read All. Rev.7:3. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Rev.12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Because God will protect His elect (remnant), even when Satan is here on earth, that old dragon will be so enraged, that he will determine to wipe out Christ's faithful of Israel, and all of God’s people, i.e. Christians, once and for all. The Books of Revelation, Ezekiel, and Daniel give the alignment of the ‘nations’ that will comprise Satan’s army. This is the final war of this earth dispensation, When Satan gathers all the ‘New World Order’ hosts to invade Israel at a place called ‘Armageddon’, or ‘the hill of Megiddo’. Where is this ‘Megiddo’? It is not in Europe. The word Armageddon means ‘mount of Megiddo’ which is in Palestine. Isaiah 10:28 of the Greek Septuagint Old Testament, reads "Maggedo" for Migron. This 'Armageddon' is also an analogy and symbol for battle against both the 'house of Judah', and the 'house of Israel'. Both houses are separate at this time, so this event applies to western nations also. (The 'house of Israel' today includes the USA.(Manasseh) and Great Britain(Ephraim) See the Lost Tribes studies in the Archive section.) Website http://members.tnns.net/wordweb/losttribe.htm
The dragon and his army will not succeed. At this point, the True Jesus will return to do battle, in the spiritual sense, meaning the casting off of this old flesh body for those who live on the earth at that time. The ‘consuming fire’, hail, and ‘brimstone’, that God will bring on Satan’s army, all refer to casting off the flesh, on the last trump, and the pouring out of God’s wrath upon the wicked ones. God’s people are not to worry, for it will not harm them .
