So there’s a story in the Bible about a great red dragon and a pregnant woman. The dragon is supposed to have 7 heads, 13 horns, and 7 crowns. ItS tail supposedly swept a third of the stars from the sky.
Christians will say the dragon is the devil. But the devil is a Christian creation. So who is this dragon? Is it just a representation or a real being?
That be Satan friend, so it shouldn’t be surprising Christians would say it’s the devil when it’s their own canon.
As real as anything else. 
Basically a bunch of symbolism added onto Satan really.
Who tf reads the bible in 2020? 
Even the priests got bored of it and replaced it with the holy hustler.
Well there are two dragons (beasts), right? The one you mention, coming out of the sea and another coming out of the earth. The latter has two horns, which certainly sounds like the Christian devil or Satan but as for coming out of the sea, that sounds rather Leviathanesque to me.
You’d be surprised, actually.
Despite my holy book curses Jesus and prophesizes the end of Christianity, I do
Not me, for the same reason I wouldn’t read the Golden Dawn stuff, too much fiction and bs for my blood.
Yoda,hah
Revelations was written by new Christians while under persecution by the Romans. Many were in exile, on the run or in prisons.
The symbolism of the “beast” is actually political. They were writing in code to avoid arrest and crucifixion/lion eating. For example “666” is numerology code for Emperor Nero.
In this case, the heads, horns and crowds represent various countries, cultures and principalities that are part of the attack on the Christians.
In the first and second centuries, Revelations amounts to apocalypse porn. They were all hoping and praying that the second coming was happening in their lifetime.
What do you mean by that?
