The Dragon

A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she *cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

The woman here represents the church, the pure church of God.

 

 

And the dragon stood on the sand of the [a]seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority.

Dragon (Satan) gives power to the beast and his seat and authority.

5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.

Great blasphemies against God. Given 42 months – 30 days in a month x 42 months = 1260 days.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who [a]dwell in heaven. 7 It was also given to him to make war with the [b]saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

Beast making war against Gods followers.
