Serpent (Greek: ; Trans: "Ophis", ; "snake", "serpent") occurs in the Book of Revelation as the "ancient serpent" or "old serpent"(YLT) used to describe "the dragon",[20:2] Satan the Adversary,(YLT) who is the devil.[12:9, 20:2] This serpent is depicted as a red seven-headed dragon having ten horns, each housed with a diadem. The serpent battles Michael the Archangel in a War in Heaven which results in this devil being cast out to the earth. While on earth, he pursues the Woman of the Apocalypse. Unable to obtain her, he wages war with the rest of her seed (Revelation 12:1-18). He who has the key to "the abyss" and a great chain over his hand, binds the serpent for a thousand years. The serpent is then cast into the "abyss" and sealed within until he is released (Revelation 20:1-3).
