The Dragon of Revelation - Part I
"Meeting the Enemy" It appears to be Rome but it isn't. It's the 10 tribes of Israel and Esau.
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."
Ok, the above verse is quite simple to interpret. After I cleared my head of all the religious brainwashing and went to God Almighty himself everything came into place.
I found that the key to understanding the above verse would be to look at the beast that is spoken of in Revelation Chapter 17. Clues are given as to the nature of the beast concerning the heads and horns as explained to John from the angel with the seven vials which would also reveal and apply to the nature of the dragon. The dragon and the three beasts that follow after the dragon are actually related and reflect each other but in different ways.
First the facts of the given clues of the beast explained in Revelation Chapter
17 :
Fact:
Clue number one, the seven heads are seven mountains and also seven kings.
Fact:
Clue number two, the ten horns are ten kings each with a kingdom or rules a
province / tribe.
Fact:
Clue number three, the harlot sits upon this beast.
Fact:
Clue number four, this beast is related to the dragon and is a reflection.
Given these clues and facts we now can look at prior bible prophecy in the book of Daniel in relation as to what is revealed within the book of revelation along with recorded world history; both past and present.
First, we must consider what was spoken of in the book of Daniel. The last empire would be the Roman Empire. Secondly, we must consider the fact that the book of Revelation was written during the time of the Roman Empire before its division. Thirdly, we should consider that the Dragon as well as the 3 beasts that follow after the Dragon are all related in some way to each other as well as related to the answers within the recorded history of not only empires but religions / paganism; past and present.
With all the information we have in the above mentioned clues, facts and considerations we can come up with the final conclusion that what is being spoken of metaphorically is about Rome and its history as well as the history of Satan himself from the time of the Roman kingdom back to the time in history of the Mesopotamian Empire known as the cradle of civilization to the present within modern day Turkey.
This is not to say the end of the story for there are three other parts to this study concerning the three beasts that follow the dragon as well as Satan's final ending. Let's move on to the interpretation of this metaphorical verse and please keep LODR (the law of double reference) in mind. We are going to have to peel away the years of religious brainwashing, traditions / smoke and mirrors to get to the actual truth that so many think they know but are being fooled instead.
The seven heads called mountains :
Let's first look at the harlot that sits upon the beast. Most bible prophecy experts, (not to say they are fully right in interpretation of scripture); as well as most historical scholars all tend to agree that the Roman Catholic Church would be the harlot.
After my review of historical study; I would have to agree with their conclusions. But I would also have to disagree. Upon further study, aside from the common sense that the Roman Catholic Church resides within Rome, the city of Rome is now a capital as well as a city of Italy along with being it's own church and state with the Vatican in full control due to the Lateran treaty of 1929 that would answer and solve the Roman Question. There are two cities here. Vatican city and the city of Rome. A city within a city. Hence the full title of Babylon the Great as well as Mystery Babylon. There is a third aspect concerning mystery Babylon aside from Babylonian culture that has survived through the previous Greek and and now Roman Empire up to the present day. More information will be provided throughout the other studies concerning the history that would prove the previous statement true.
Upon further study and review, Rome itself is also known as the city of seven hills. Do not let the word hills fool you. They are, in retrospect, and without a doubt, mountains. Here, we have our answer. We now can go from the ending to the beginning of the history of Rome.
The dual nature of the seven heads also being seven kings :
If you notice, the heads are crowned but not the horns. Ok, now for a little historical review. Rome started out as a Kingdom, then to a Republic before becoming an Empire. You can study for yourself concerning the history of Rome's beginnings, I trust you know where you can find it. Onward to the kings.
As I stated, Rome started out as a Kingdom before it became a Republic in where the Republic gave authority to Rome's first Emperor Octavian Augustus after the Death of Julius Ceasar. There is a record of exactly seven kings that had ruled the Roman Kingdom.
1.
Romulus : Legendary founder
of Rome and supposed son of Mars, raised by a she-wolf along with his twin brother
Remus eventually both being found by a royal herds-man named Faustulus. Romulus
slew Remus after they founded "Square Rome" due to a quarrel and became first king
of Rome. After the death of Romulus the Romans worshipped him as a god making
him one of the three major gods of Rome, called him the war god (fitting since he's
the son of Mars), anyhow the Romans believed that he had not died but had
been carried to heaven in a thunderstorm. Additionally and supposedly Romulus died
of a strange and mysterious death.
2. Numa Pompilius
3. Tullus Hostilius
4. Ancus Martius
5. Tarquinius Priscus
6. Servius Tullius
7. Tarquinius Superbus
: What a last name! lol. Last of the seven kings (534 - 509 B.C.)
and was extremely hated by the Roman people. He brought Etruscan artists and
architects to Rome to build the temple of Jupiter on capitol hill (this is where
Satan enters the picture as one will find out in later study's what was representative
of Satan other than just being a serpent).
Tarquinius defeated the inhabitants
of Gabii and besieged the town of Ardea. The episode known as the rape of
Lucrece took place during the siege and sparked the revolt of the Romans causing
the founding of the Roma Republic in 509 B.C. and in turn caused Tarquinius
Superbus to flee.
The 10 horns :
These would be the 10 original Roman provinces at around 14 AD. If you ponder and think about something, these horns are located on top of the dragon's heads, more than likely pertaining to what additional surrounding territories were on the dragon's mind it wanted to conquer. Although I'd love to, I'm not going to delve into the history of the 10 horns here but just give you the list. You can find the information by studying the Roman provinces :
1. Achea
2. Africa
3. Asia
4. Crete et Cyrene
5. Cyprus
6. Gallia Narbonensis
7. Hispania Baetica
8. Macedonia (Macedonia and Thessalia)
9. Pontus et Bithynia
10. Sicilia
As the Roman Kingdom / Republic grew to an Empire it would conquer territories surrounding each province with the Empire making and establishing final conquests. Refer to Nebs Dream Part III and Daniel's Dream Part III .
HUGE NOTE
: Remember : Hebrews were later renamed Israelis and then were later
renamed Jews via Kingdom of Judah with Jerusalem being the Kingdoms crowned
glory. There are only two tribes that are Jews. The first time a Jew
is mentioned is in the book of Esther 2 : 5. They are all Israeli / Hebrew
but not all are Jews.
After furthur research, study and contemplation, I have come to the conclusion that The 10 horns are the 10 tribes of Israel due to the Kingdom of Judea
that split into north and south.
The Jews
(also known as Israelites) are the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and are the true
tribal Jews. Hence Jesus Christ being the King of the Jews.
The false Jews (but are still
Israelites and were only citizens of the the Kingdom of Judea and therefore were
called Jews only because they lived within the Kingdom boundaries) are the 10
tribes of Israel. The color red is the representation of Esau.
The book of I Kings explains this and ties in with Ahab and Jezebel.
These 10 tribes had installed their own king with the last being Herod who went
after "the woman that brought forth the messiah". The Kingdom of
Judah became divided, north and south before Herod's reign as King.
Rome had nothing to do with that
although it happened within the Roman Kingdom / Empire who received authority
after the Jews declared that they wanted Barabbas and that
they have no king but Ceaser. (via Herod's death)
The current land of Israel is (or was) conquered Roman
Territory. The 10 horns / Esau are in cahoots with the Vatican, the
Byzantines and Islam ! Modern day Israel is the Red Dragon, Jerusalem
has 7 mountains and each tribe has a chief prince.
Plenty of smoke and mirrors going on here along with LODR
also known as the "Law Of Double Reference". So the land of Israel which
didn't exist before now exists via the 12 tribes. (Don't argue here, I
have maps to prove this). Where are the tribes of Judah and Benjamin ?
Did Israel (the devil) finally succeed in exterminating the remnant ? My
prayer is for the peace of Jerusalem. I do not stand with Israel but I
will back Benjamin and Judah for the Messiah's sake and for David.
Lumping all of Israel together and then calling them all Jews is a dis-service to the
truth.
The red dragon is the 10 tribes of Israel and Esau (Israelis and
Jews via citizenship at the time of the kingdom of Judaea as whole before the
split) against Benjamin and Judah (Israeli Jews that brought forth the Messiah).
Take note and keep in mind during the following studies that the 10 horns that
are on the dragon are also on beasts 2 and 4.

1 Th 2 :
14 - 16 For ye brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea
are in Christ Jesus; for ye also have suffered like things of your own
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews (10 tribes of Israeli citizens of the
kindom of Judea who called themselves Jews including Esau).
Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets
and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might
be saved, to fill up their sins always; for the wrath is come upon them to the
uttermost.
*** There are satanic jews and there are messianic jews Two sides, same coin with esau / edomites. ***
Now if a jew says that the jews killed Jesus Christ, would that make the jew that made the statement an anti-semite ?? No, they would call him a rebel (and call outsiders anti-semites using God as an excuse saying "they are chosen of God" to continue their crimes while using the anti-semite cry wolf banner at anyone calling out their crimes) while continuing to rebel against their God and anyone who would disagree with them. Enough is Enough !
You must understand the following 2 biblical facts .....
1. The kingdom of Judah was split north and south. The Northern portion (satanic 10 tribes of Israel / Esau ..... citizen jews). King of North (enter your lucifer religious theology found in Isaiah here) ... it's the herodian kingdom, satan, the red dragon that went after the woman of Israel that bore the Messiah and also slaughtered thousands of their own children in hopes of killing off the messiah as stated in the book of revelation.
2. The Southern portion of the kingdom of Judah is messianic (Judah and Benjamin, actual Jews)
Deuteronomy 31:16 thru 30.
The Song of Moses as a witness and testimony against Israel never to be forgotten.
31:16 - And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers;
and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers
of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my
covenant which I have made with them.
31:17 - Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will
forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and
many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day,
Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
31:18 - And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which
they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
31:19 - Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children
of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me
against the children of Israel.
31:20 - For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto
their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and
filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve
them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
31:21 - And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen
them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not
be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which
they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
31:22 - Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children
of Israel.
31:23 - And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a
good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I
sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
31:24 - And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of
this law in a book, until they were finished,
31:25 - That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of
the LORD, saying,
31:26 - Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the
covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
31:27 - For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet
alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much
more after my death?
31:28 - Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I
may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against
them.
31:29 - For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and
turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in
the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke
him to anger through the work of your hands.
31:30 - And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words
of this song, until they were ended.
*** The veil was torn open and the Ark of Testimony was revealed to all at the end of Christ's Crucifixion. The verdict ? All of Israel is Guilty, broke every law and their only salvation is through Jesus Christ whom they have refused and chose a murderer over an innocent man that was murdered through the use of politcal means since Jews were also considered Roman Citizens at the time of the Roman Empire; and they used that citizensship to their advantage to kill, steal and destroy. ***
Finally the color red = The color of Rome, it's military and the blood that has been shed by them and those associated via the tribes (who gave over their sovereign satanic authority "we have no king but ceaser" which is also known as "temporal authority" for the Vatican). Red is also associated with Esau / Edomites due to him being Red Haired.
This is not to say we are unable to protect ourselves or our loved ones and be able to live happily and abundantly without relying on God's help first and foremost then our own.
First, know what kind of resources you have available at your disposal for your immediate use, consumption and survival. Next, know your spiritual armor listed in the New Testament within the Book of Ephesians Chapter 6 : 10 - 18. Thirdly, be aware of your surroundings and the world in which you live. Fourth, self-educate. Learn how to read maps, the stars, compass. Learn how to do gardening, canning and how to store for the future. Learn history, self defense, et cetera so on and so forth. Be healthy and strong emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually; and please help others along the way no matter how small or big passing these examples and knowledge down to your children and grandchildren. Lastly, know your enemy and his tactics and use those tactics against him as well as using your own.
We can live in peace amongst the enemy but for God's sakes, when the enemy attacks get up off your butt and defend the kingdom by any means necessary or be ready to lose what you have.
Currently, the enemies first five choices of weaponry are peace, diplomacy, lies, deception and propaganda. Be wary of the deception for this is a greeeeedy beast and so are his cohorts. It'll eventually lead to further repercussions if the enemy does not get his way. Therefore be ready at all times to defend yourself, your loved ones and The Kingdom that is within oneself !
