The flood symbolizes overwhelming evil and persecution.
This imagery symbolizes trouble in general. Satan's forces will sweep towards the Jew's hiding place like a great flood so as to be drown, killed or consumed by them.
Answer:
Revelation 12 is one of a number of "inset" chapters employed throughout Revelation. An inset chapter is a "summary" chapter sometimes used in a narration. An "overview" to bring the reader up to speed on certain background information needed for clarity.
Revelation 12 brings the reader up to speed on Satan's role in history, from "in the beginning"... through to the Great Tribulation at the end of the age of man's rule on earth.
Verses 15-17, reveals Satan's persecution and attack upon God's church (the woman) during the Great Tribulation.
Contrary to modern professing Christianity's doctrinal belief that God's church will be "raptured" to heaven before the Tribulation begins... these verses reveal the Truth of the matter.
Most of God's "elect" will find places of sanctuary on the earth. Others will be martyred.
"...to the woman (a "woman" symbolizes an assembly of worship or a "church" ... beit a false church or God's True church. See also, Rev.17) 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." (Rev.12:14)
(That's 3 1/2 years... the prophesied duration of the Great Tribulation during which the Beast shall be allowed to rule the earth - Rev.13:5),
Christ's church won't be in heaven. It will be protected by the earth... even though Satan will assay to destroy it:
"...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..." (verse 16).
In his frustration over his inability to totally destroy God's church... Satan sets off to kill a certain number of God's elect who are "slated to be killed" for their witness and testimony to the Word of God.
The "fifth seal" of Revelation chapter 6, symbolizes the coming global persecution of God's church in the Great Tribulation:
"...when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held... and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, THAT SHOULD BE KILLED AS THEY WERE, should be fulfilled." (Rev.6:9-11)
This is the meaning of verse 17 in Revelation 12.
"...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."
This isn't the persecution of Jews... this is the premeditated murder of believers in Jesus Christ by Satan and his two human minions, the Beast and the False Prophet in the coming global Great Tribulation just ahead of us.
Verses 15-17 of Revelation 12 are a synoptical overview of Satan's role in the persecution of God's church during the Great Tribulation.
