Revelation 12:3-4

3 Then another ominous sign (wonder) was seen in heaven: Behold, a huge, fiery-red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven kingly crowns (diadems) upon his heads.

The dragon is satan. The heads and crowns represent the earthly rulers that he is permitted to use by our Father to persecute the Church. And as always, remember our Father is in total control of every event in this vision. The rulers that satan uses have been chosen by our Father to be used. Satan is only allowed to do what our Father permits him to. Nothing is happening without first being ordained by our Father.


Many people speculate on who these kings are. To me that is not as important as the Truth that there are these kings. We are not of this world. We are of our Father's Kingdom. I really feel that all kingdoms are evil and attempt to cause us to have faith in them and not our Father. I live in America and this country has been good to me, but the government of America is corrupt. I marvel that anyone places any faith in it whatsoever. These countries may be Europe, they may not be. The Truth that is important is that our Father's Kingdom is the only Kingdom that matters. Our Father is the only King that matters and His will is good. 

4 His tail swept [across the sky] and dragged down a third of the stars and flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth.

Satan deceived a third of the angels and they were cast out of Heaven with him. Satan tried to destroy Jesus as soon as he was born and as always, he failed miserably. Yet the glorious Truth is that he succeeded, because he did exactly what our Father ordained him to do, which is fail. Our Father was in control, He knew what satan was going to do before satan even did, and He permitted and empowered him to do it. Our Father warned Joseph in a dream what was going to happen, so Joseph took Mary and Jesus, and fled to Egypt. Satan failed and our Father was glorified, satan brought praise to our Father just as he was created to do. 

This is a great Truth for us, nothing takes our Father by surprise. Anything that happens to us has been first ordained by our Father, it has been allowed to happen and it is for our good and the Kingdom’s good!

We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. Romans 8:28
