Revelation 12 — The Dragon and the Woman

Excerpt

Revelation can be seen as a series of symbolic images retelling the same story from different perspectives. The dragon and the woman reflect and remind us of many points throughout the Old and New Testament: the dragon is the image of the serpent, the devil, and all the broken human government systems in the Old Testament, and a false imitation of the real God. The woman is Mary, Rebecca, Eve, the bride of Christ, and all of humanity glorified by God.
