17 And [kai] the dragon [drakon] was wroth [orgizo] with [epi] the woman, [gune] and [kai] went [aperchomai] to make [poieo] war [polemos] with [meta] the remnant [loipoy] of her [autos] seed, [sperma] which [ho] keep [tereo] the commandments [entole] of God, [theos] and [kai] have [echo] the testimony [marturia] of Jesus [Iesous] Christ. [Christos] KJV-Interlinear

17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. NASB

The dragon is Satan. He became enraged, ‘orgizo,’ which means to be incensed, fuming, angry, infuriated, furious.

Satan’s failure to capture and kill the Jewish believers that he was pursuing, will drive him to uncontrollable rage. He will have a tantrum of which there is no comparison.

Failing to capture Jewish believers on the run or in hiding, Satan will turn his attention to others which the verse describes as the rest of her offspring, and of whom keep the commandments of God.

Other offspring, is a general term which can include Jewish unbelievers, as well as gentile unbelievers, but also, the phrase, who keep the commandments, includes believers which are not Jewish.  That makes them gentile believers. Jewish believers were already being pursued and therefore other believers means gentile believers.

So, Satan is going to get his followers to turn on everyone, including themselves. This will lead the human race toward accomplishing its own annihilation.

At the beginning of the Tribulation, the peoples of the world will all worship the anti-christ. Sometime during the seven year period, people will begin to turn against him, and each other. And at the end, the battle of Armageddon will become the climax of an all out attempted destruction of everyone and everything.

Satan is trying his best to cause a flaw in Gods plan. He fails at every turn.

And as his time is running out, for he knows full well that the seven year period will conclude with the Second Advent of Christ, therefore Satan will become more and more and more frustrated, and agitated, and furious at his seemingly impotent effort to accomplish his own plan.
