ISB ~ Revelation 12 v3
red dragon:Represents Satan, the murderous arch enemy of God (Jn 8:44). His horns are symbols of his strength (Dan 7:7), and his diadems (crowns) are symbols of his ruling power over the fallen world (Jn 12:31). He is doomed to burn forever in the lake of fire (Rev 20:10).
• The draconic serpent was a mythological symbol of evil in the ancient Near East. Called Leviathan (Is 27:1) or Rahab (Job 26:12-13), he was pictured as a sea monster with multiple heads (Ps 74:14).
