Revelation 12:9; 20:2 says Satan, the Devil, is the dragon, the ancient serpent. But this is not natural. Serpents are of earth but Satan is a spirit out of heaven. Satan was an angel that became God’s enemy and the start of sin and rebellion; (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18). He had an appointment from God to govern Earth and was in Eden from the beginning (Ezekiel 28:13-15). He was created perfect but did not remain perfect; he used his position to stage rebellion against God. Satan’s first rebellious act was the entrapment of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:1-5) but he needed a body in which to exhibit himself visibly. He chose a dragon for earthly manifestation because it stunningly exhibited him as the supreme power and authority of earth. Satan is the reason that dragons are symbols of evil. The dragon legends originate from the Garden of Eden. Satan’s power is stronger in the last days when he openly fights against God. Satan terrorises earth as a fiery red dragon and is worshipped (Rev. 12:3; 13:4). He and his angels terrorise earth for the short time allowed him (Rev. 12:12-17).
