The Great Dragon of Revelations

The **Great Red Dragon** is a giant monstrous demon born from Ayin to be her greatest weapon.

## Overview

He has nine heads and nine crowns on those heads. He is the eternal rival of the Woman of the Apocalypse.

## History

### Birth and early life

Ayin bore many different demonic beings such as Tanin'iver, Yetzer Hara, and the Great Red Dragon, these beings were eventually thrown into a realm called Hell.

### War in Heaven

The Great Red Dragon was released from Hell by Lucifer and fought in the war, crushing many angels along the way. The Dragon was eventually defeated by the Woman of the Apocalypse and was thrown back into hell.

### Apocalypse

The battle between Heaven and Hell happens when a woman gives birth to a son who is to "rule the nations with an iron scepter". She is pursued by the Great Red Dragon. It wants to devour her unborn child. However, the child is born regardless, and an angel takes it to Heaven, but the Great Red Dragon is relentless and continues to pursue it.

Then there was a great battle in Heaven. Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon and his angels. The Dragon lost and was thrown down to Earth and all of its minions with it. The Dragon then chased the woman again and attempted to drown the woman by shooting water from his mouth. However, the Earth swallowed all the water, then the woman grew eagle wings and flew away.

Later during the time, a beast rises from the sea and is given authority to rule over the earth, the people of earth marvel the beast's abilities and worship him and "the dragon", saying "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" After the beast from the sea suffers from what appears to be a mortal wound, another beast, the Beast of the Earth, takes his place and exercises the same authority as the previous beast on his behalf. This beast is able to perform many miracles and forces those without the seal of God on their foreheads to worship both the new beast and the image of the old beast and forces them to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.

The beast, rising out of the sea, is described as having "ten horns and seven heads", one of which has been injured but later healed. This beast is given authority by the dragon and proceeds to lead the world, being worshiped alongside the dragon. It is shown leading the whole world with the exception of those whose names are written in the Book of Life, and as making war against the saints.
