Revelation 12:17 Revelation 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. Here we have the last part of the dragon’ s mystical war described, first, by the continued wrath of the serpent; and the dragon was wroth with the woman. Secondly, by the effect of his wrath; He designed another mystical war, with the remnant of her seed. See KNOLLYS: Revelation 11:7. The woman’ s seed is called a remnant: For, first, they remained sound in the faith, when others apostatized and departed from the faith. \ Secondly, they were but a few; that is, the sealed ones, Chapter 7 \ in comparison of them that worshipped the beast, and had not the seal of God in their foreheads. \ This remnant kept the commandments of God, when others taught for doctrines the commandments of men. \ And have the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy. \ Christ’ s two prophets, called his witnesses. \ See the exposition.
