THE DRAGON
Who do men say the dragon is? Who do you say the dragon is? Who do men say the serpent is? Who do you say the serpent is? Who do men say satan is? Who do you say Satan is? Who do men say the devil is? Who do you say the devil is? Think about this. Before you read on, try to answer these questions, honestly for your own spiritual welfare. Do you study the word of God? Do you seek for His Truth? If not, you will lose your soul. Why is it that you do not care if you have the truth or not?
Do you not know that God said that all of these are the very same being? For you who say that the serpent was and is a natural snake do you not also believe that the dragon is also a natural
Dragon? Do you want truth or to just die in your sins and unbelief of truth?
So, you think it does not matter? It does not matter what God says about anything? Just listen to your preacher and that is good enough to get you into heaven? Then ask him these same questions and see if he can answer them.
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
So, if serpent is a natural snake, isn’t the dragon a natural animal as well? Then you must say that Pharaoh is a literal dragon. Makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? This is how people reason out that old serpent.
Now to prove that they are all the same: Revelation 20:2
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
So, we see that the dragon, beast and false prophet are all also the very same. The unclean spirits came out of their mouth; so it has to be words; yes, the same lies that is the flood coming out of their mouth!
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
So, this beast that came up out of the earth is the very same old dragon, pretending to be of Christ. He is now at war with…. Who? Who is the serpent at war with? Whose SEED is that old serpent trying to destroy? You truly need to find this answer and get it right or forever swallow the lies of the old serpent, dragon, satan, devil, false prophet. They are all the very same evil at work. BUT WHO DOES HE WAR AGAINST?
The man or the woman? Whose SEED is he trying to destroy? The man’s seed or the woman’s seed? Be honest with yourself; try to find this answer or forever believe the lies of people like william branham and almost all the others, who hate the woman.
Revelation 12: 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman 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.
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.
16 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.
17 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.
Notice verse 12.. The DEVIL came down to us… V 13, the DRAGON was cast to the earth… V 15… the SERPENT … trying to do away with the WOMAN. … the SERPENT cast the flood out of his mouth.. Against the WOMAN…
V 16 … the same flood was CAST OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON… V 17. The DRAGON was wroth WITH THE WOMAN. We never find that the serpent or the devil or the dragon was at war with the MAN. Wonder why? It is because that old serpent, the devil, the hypocrite, the evil man, the dragon is ADAM. He hates the WOMAN. But who is this woman and why does Adam hate her and her seed so much?
The Woman is Eve. She is the Mother of all LIVING. This, living, means those who have the life of God in us. Her Seed is the RIGHTEOUS people. Her Seed is Jesus Christ. Her promised Seed would destroy the head of that old evil Serpent. This is why he hates her so much and seeks to destroy all of the righteous; because we resist the devil and will eventually totally destroy him off this earth.
Revelation 12:3
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
- Revelation 12:4
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
V 3.. This dragon, with seven heads and ten horns is the very same evil serpent that was in the Garden of Eden. His kingdom was cast out of Eden at the time of the great flood and came up on this earth as the Bear kingdom in Daniel. This was under the head of Noah. Then the same kingdom broke up into four heads: Shem, Ham, Japeth and Abraham. That is the Leopard kingdom in Daniel. Then there was the last head under Moses. All of these from Adam to the ending of the OT was this dragon kingdom of Adam.
Jesus Christ was born under this last head of law. HE is the little horn that came up after the other ten. His resurrection brought about the destruction of that dragon kingdom. There are two books of Generations in Scripture: Genesis 5… the book of the generations of ADAM. then Mat. one. This is the Book of the generations of Jesus Christ.
Everyone who ever lived is in one or the other. They are both still here, growing together until the Saints of the most High come into the Baptism of Fire…. The fire coming out of the MOUTH OF THE TWO WITNESSES… REV. 11, It began with the words coming out of the first witness, the people in the Book of Acts. Psalm 149 shows the second witness with the fire coming out of our mouth to finish the job…. And do away with the evil kingdom of Adam; serpent, dragon, satan, devil, forever.
So then why was Pharaoh called the great dragon? It is because the spirit of Adam was in him. The spirit of Adam, first-man Adam, is in everyone who is an antichrist. That takes in most people because they do not worship Jesus Christ and obey him. As in ADAM all DIE. IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE.
Ezekiel 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
This is Adam saying ‘I am god’ I made these people for myself.
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
This is Jesus doing away with that old dragon forever. Jesus was given this earth when he ascended to heaven and sat on the throne of God. The earth no longer belongs to Adam, serpent, dragon, satan, devil. Sure, his evil is still here because Jesus has not yet finished the work of destroying that evil kingdom off this earth. He is waiting and giving everyone time to repent and come into His Holy Kingdom.
When you see the evil and suffering on this earth and still will not repent and turn to Jesus and seek his welfare you will be turned into hell and destroyed.
Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
Awake means resurrection. This is a call to Jesus to wake up from the dead and do away with that old dragon.
In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
The above shows that Jesus with his Word/sword, will slay the dragon, the same as leviathan the serpent. Again proving that they are one and the same being.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [spoken to Jesus]
Nehemiah 2:13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
In type, this is prophecy for the time when Jesus will destroy the gates of the evil kingdom of the dragon, old Adam.
I think it is significant that the word, DRAGON, is mentioned six times in the OT and 12 in the new testament. Six and twelve. All twelve mentions in the NT are in the Revelation. Here are the lists:
- All (18)
- Old Testament (6)
- Nehemiah (1)
- Psalm (1)
- Isaiah (2)
- Jeremiah (1)
- Ezekiel (1)
- New Testament (12)
- Revelation (12)
