Dear Brother WB,
The phrase “shall be with a flood” is found in Daniel 9:26. The solution is found by breaking down the verse into two parts, and comparing them to Revelation 12, as follows:
Daniel 9
PAGAN PERSECUTION:-
The People of the Prince that Destroy the City and the Sanctuary:
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Daniel 9:26
PAPAL PERSECUTION:-
A Flood:
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. Daniel 9:26
Revelation 12
PAGAN PERSECUTION:-
A Great Red Dragon:
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Revelation 12:3, 4
“…Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 438.
PAPAL PERSECUTION:-
A Flood that lasts 1,260 Years:
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 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. Revelation 12:14,15 Hope this answers your question. Jeff.
