769 The Red Dragon Revelation & the End Times

21 Feb 2026The woman in Revelation 12 is interpreted as Israel, not Mary, as she gave birth to the Messiah and will be alive at the end of the age. The great red dragon is identified as Satan, the ancient serpent, who seeks to destroy the Messiah and later persecutes the woman’s offspring. The vision connects to Genesis 37:9, where Joseph’s dream of the sun, moon, and 11 stars bowing to him foreshadows the woman’s crown of 12 stars.The dragon, representing the devil, attempts to thwart God’s plans, as seen in his attempts to kill Moses and Jesus. He targets Israel, the woman, and her offspring, both physical and spiritual, in the end times. However, believers can overcome the dragon through the blood of the lamb, their testimony, and a life not defined by fear of death.
