Revelation 12:15
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 12:15)
Water as a flood.
 In Ps. 74:13 and Eze. 29:3 a dragon is identified as a water animal, hence, probably the figure of water as a symbol of destruction. Satan sought to destroy the Christian church by the inundation of false doctrines as well as by persecution (cf. on Rev. 17:15).
