:o Whoa, hold on there Shiloh; slow down. Let’s take our time and break this down further. Don’t worry, there is no rush, so we can take our time with this. Let’s start with this great dragon in Revelation 12 because we need to address some Scripture here:
“Then another sign appeared in heaven: an great red dragon with seven heads and ten
horns and seven crowns on his heads. His tail swept a third of the stars* out of the sky and
flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give
birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born.†(Revelation
12:3,4,).
And then we have:
“And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong
enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down – that
ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled
to the earth, and his angels with him.†(Revelation 12:7-9)
That ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan (who leads the whole world astray) is ascribed to this very dragon in Revelation 12.
Let’s analyze this before we investigate the differences between this beast and the leopard-like beast in Revelation 13. Also, let’s worry about the four beasts in Daniel 7; representing past/present/future world empires (Daniel 7:17) later; after we have addressed these specifics. You went straight to naming empires before explaining the dragon itself, as it is described here.
