The dragon is not satan, it is the dark political and religious forces that destroyed Islam. This is as clear as any prophecy can get. It may also be somewhat generic having mentioned Jesus, in that it likely refers to the Catholic hierarchy as well that persecuted dissenters who wanted to follow Jesus more along the lines of His teachings.

The references to the dragon must be taken in its entirety.
Rev: 12-1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. The symbol of Persia and Zoroaster is the sun. The symbol of Islam is the moon. The 12 stars are the 12 Imams who promoted the true teachings of Muhammad.

DR, why do quote from Revelation and then reject what it says. Very clearly it tells us the dragon is Satan.
(Revelation 12:9) So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

Then you quote 12:1 and completely ignore the principal character, the "woman". Then you omitted a crucial part of verse 4.
"And the dragon kept standing before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she did give birth, it might devour her child." Rev 12:4b

This links the scene to the first prophecy of the Bible which foretold the enmity.
Genesis 3:15) And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel.”

Satan wont like hearing that rather than his being able to devour "her child", the woman's "offspring" will "crush your (Satan's) head".

Mr Gordon, I spent some considerable time answering you.

If you are not going to respond to the content of my post then at least post your version of the prophetic meaning of these passages from Revelation, the woman, the dragon, the child, etc.
