[13/05 15:45] LT: As we promised earlier, we will enlighten those who are just joining us that today's lesson is about the dragon beast of Rev 12:3, Rev 16:13-19 and Rev 7:7.
Welcome
[13/05 15:52] LT: Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Let's take a closer look to this dragon and see what has been given us about it

👆🏻 our first answer is so clear and doesn't need explanation. Satan, the devil is also referred to as the dragon.

Which means here we are being referred to the garden of Eden where Eve was deceived by the serpent.
[13/05 16:10] LT: Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall n
