pretty definitively tell us
That this is Jesus.
Now let's consider
the arch villain
In this important prophecy:
The dragon.
"And another sign
appeared in heaven:
Behold, a great,
fiery red dragon..."
I wish I could just give you
who the dragon is.
The dragon is the devil.
Both in the old testament
and the new testament
Who tries to destroy?
That is Satan,
the angel, the devil.
And so he attacks
As soon as Christ comes
upon the face of the earth;
The attack is there.
"So the great dragon
was cast out,
"That serpent of old,
called the devil and Satan.
"Who deceives the whole world;
"He was cast to the earth,
And his angels
were cast out with him."
What we see here
in the first part of revelation 12
Is a symbolic portrayal
Of the age-Old conflict
between Christ and Satan.
And we find this description
Going all the way back
to the garden of Eden
Where you have
a snake with wings.
What's a snake with wings?
It's a form of a dragon.
And we have this serpent,
this dragon,
Coming all the way down
through scriptures.
All through the life
and ministry of Christ
Satan tried to disrupt
Jesus' plans
To provide salvation
for humanity.
"But he was wounded
for our transgressions,
"He was bruised
for our iniquities;
"The chastisement
for our peace was upon him,
And by his stripes
we are healed."
At various points
they kicked him out of synagogues
And wanted
to push him off a cliff.
They tortured him
to death publicly.
But Satan's scheme
to derail the plan of salvation
Was utterly shattered
when Jesus rose from the dead.
to god and his throne."
With the son of god
now physically beyond his reach,
The devil directed all of his fury
at the followers of Jesus,
The new Christians.
He did much of this
Through the cruel power
of imperial Rome.
"Now when the dragon saw
"That he had been cast
to the earth,
"He persecuted the woman
Who gave birth
to the male child."
Christianity was a struggling,
small persecuted minority
That didn't have official status
in the roman empire
And there were
a series of persecutions,
Some of which were quite severe.
One of the roles of religion
in the roman empire
Was to ensure
the well-Being of the state.
The idea was if the gods
were worshiped properly
Then they would favor the empire
And if they
were worshiped improperly
Then bad things
would happen to the empire
They do not want
to sacrifice to the gods
And the gods at that point
include the emperor.
So it's easy
Religious scapegoats.
