"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" (Rev. 12:17). How does the devil make war with Christians? The answer is found in Revelation 13. He has two allies: the sea beast and the land beast. The sea beast represents political persecution (The Roman Empire had turn anti-Christian). The land beast represents religious persecution (through false religions, philosophy and deception). The land beast looked like a lamb but it spake like a dragon (Matt. 7:15). The devil still uses anti-Christian governments and false teachers to destroy the church of Christ.
