The Red Dragon of St. John, The Divine
Perhaps the dragon that has had the most influence on
Westernized Christian thought is the red dragon that
dominates the last book of the New Testament. The author of
this book, who simply identified himself as John, had been
exiled to the Isle of Patmos, a small Greek island in the
Aegean Sea, where he received a brilliant vision in which
he was welcomed into the heavens to witness all things
which were to come. In the vision he was shown a book with
seven sealed portions. He was allowed to see the contents
of each sealed portion in turn and then commanded to write
what he saw. It is at the very end of the seventh portion
that we find the story of the red dragon.

The story begins when John sees a beautiful woman in
childbirth. This is no ordinary woman; she is clothed in
the sun, with the moon under her feet, and wears a crown of
twelve stars. As she struggles to give birth, a great red
dragon comes into view. He is as terrible as the woman is
resplendent, a serpentine creature with seven heads and ten
horns, and a crown on each head. With his mighty tail he
draws away a third of the stars of heaven and violently
throws them down to the earth. Thus announcing himself, he
alights menacingly before the woman, threatening to devour
her child as soon as it is born.

But the woman is able to save her newborn son, who is
mysteriously secreted away to the throne of God, the
dragon's arch-enemy. God has a special interest in this
baby, for it has been prophesied that he will one day
become the ruler of all nations. The woman, thus assured
that her child is protected, flees into the wilderness,
where a refuge has been prepared for her.

Meanwhile God sends his angels, led by the valiant
archangel Michael, to battle against the red dragon. The
dragon is fierce, assisted by his own legion of demons, but
eventually they are beaten and evicted from heaven.

On earth, the vengeful dragon seeks out the woman to
torment her, but using two great eagle wings given her, she
escapes; however, the red dragon possesses great powers,
and even controls the weather. From his mouth he creates a
flood to drown her. But the earth opens its gaping mouth
and swallows the flood, aiding the woman in her escape.
Frustrated, the dragon then turns his attention to the
woman's other children, who fill the earth. Hungry for
revenge, the red dragon seeks help.

He doesn't have to wait long before a hideous beast rises
out of the sea. This beast also has seven heads and ten
horns, but his body is that of a leopard, while his feet
are those of a bear, and his mouth is that of a lion. The
dragon, finding a worthy accomplice, grants the beast power
and authority. While the inhabitants of the world watch,
the beast reveals a deadly wound on one of its heads. As if
by magic, the wound heals itself. Awe-struck, many people
flock to the dragon and the beast, worshipping them and
turning against God.

With their new army behind them, the beast and the dragon
wage war against the inhabitants of the earth still
faithful to god, overcoming them and taking many captives.
And although the beast dies, he is replaced by another
beast with two horns like a lamb. This second beast
controls fire, making it fall from the sky. Like the
dragon, he is also very wicked and teaches the people to
worship the first beast. Indeed, he teaches them that they
should kill anybody who won't worship the first beast.
Caught in this wicked fervor, the people began to mark
their bodies, so that they can tell who worships the beast
and who doesn't.

Back in the heavens, the angels tell God about all that is
happening on the earth with the dragon and the beasts.
Enraged, God vows to punish any who has received the mark
of the beast. From a cloud, the grown son of the woman
descends, wearing a golden crown and carrying a sharp
sickle in his hand. Calling the angels to his side, the
armies of God prepare to visit the earth. Seven mighty
angels appear, each bearing a terrible plague and a golden
vial containing the wrath of God. God's army is prepared to
face the dragon in a final battle.

One by one the angels pour their vials out upon the
beast-worshipers, inflicting them with sores, death, heat,
darkness, hunger, and drought. Before the last angel pours
the contents of his vial out, three magical frogs are
pulled out of the mouths of the dragon and the beast,
revealing how the evil creatures had received their powers.
When the last vial is poured out, the ground begins to
shake. Great hailstones fall from heaven. The mountains are
flattened and the islands fall into the sea. All those who
have marked themselves are overtaken and, along with the
beast are thrown into a lake of fire. Finally, the son of
the woman, who now sits upon the throne, rewards all the
people who have remained faithful to God. Even those who
have been killed are brought back to life. Beaten, the
dragon is bound and shut in a bottomless pit where he can
no longer deceive the nations for a thousand years.
