Much of Revelation deals in FIRST and LAST archetypes. John's prophecy deals with symbols of his faith and religion. So when John is prophecizing about the red dragon in the great sea, it is the red dragon, relevent to his own gestault. The red dragon is the first snake, the original one, or that old serpent. "archuous" which is "the first."
Rev 20:2	And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 1. LAID HOLD 2. DRAGON 3. THAT OLD SERPENT 4 DEVIL 5. Satan 6. Bound 7.

Isa 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that [is] in the sea. Isa 51:9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not it that hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon? Jer 51:34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out. Eze 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharoah king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made [it] for myself. This is the only OT reference to the "Great Dragon." This dragon is the mighty crocodile from the Nile: crocodile from Nile Hebrew God in animal symbols, as in the lion and lamb. Egyptians attributed godlike character to different animals, like the Hebrews. God is described as a conquering and gentle lion, and sacrificial lamb. Christ was the brass serpent, etc.In the same way, Egyptians assigned analogous symbols, only they regarded them as more than symbols. They washed the baby, threw out the baby, and worshipped the bathwater. Marduk- the original snake, and original red dragon,SEMIRAMIS/ISIS HAS THE TWO HORN OF MARDUK'S DRAGON Marduk- The Red Dragon - Original Mystery Religion MARDUK'S DRAGON Snake-Dragon of Marduk, c. 604- 562 B.C.; Mesopotamian, Neo-Babylonian Period; Ishtar Gate, Babylon; Molded, glazed bricks; 1.2 x 1.7 m (45 1/2 x 65 3/4 in.) Detroit Institute of Art, Founders Society Purchase; 31.25. Prototypical Marduk and Beast, with panther face, on one side, the other side alligator face. Got this from a gorgeous blog Metropolitan Babylon circa 600-562 B.C. ISHTAR GATE The striding dragon formed part of the decoration of one of the gates of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar, whose name appears in the Bible as the despoiler of Jerusalem (King II 24:10 - 16, 25:8-15), ornamented the monumental entrance gate dedicated to Ishtar, the goddess of love and war, and the processional street leading to it with scores of pacing glazed brick animals: on the gate were alternating tiers of Marduk's dragons and bulls of the weather god Adad; along the street were the lions sacred to Ishtar. All this brilliant decoration was designed to create a ceremonial entrance for the King in religious procession on the most important day of the New Year's Festival. (The New Year's Festival is combined in Christmas, the original celebration for Marduk, as the virgin birth of the sungod. That's why Christmas is an abomination. Christ was probably born during the High HEBREW Holidays in September-Octorber) (Yom Kippur-HEBREW NEW YEAR vs Festival of Saturnia/Semiramis in December-January. Xmas/New Year) Semiramis/Isis... counterpart to Marduk Figure of the great whore. Figure of what the church has become- worldly.

[03220] yam Representation of Nimrod, as a "super-hero" archetype. The real Nimrod: Marduk, Sargon I of Arkkad (Ninevah/Babylon) built the tower in Babel. He was symbolized by his ubiquitous crocodilian familliars. He is called Nimrod in the Book of Genesis. He was the first world leader, and he was worshipped as a god. His companion, Semiramis, is the original prototype of the Whore of Babylon. MARDUK- Sargon I, King of Ninevah built the Tower of Babel The great images of Revelation, are meant to be the totality of all exegesic symbologies, embracing every nuance of the classical words and verses. Dragon of Marduk, Neo-Babylonian, glazed and moulded brick, 604–562 BC. Detroit Institute of Arts, USA/Bridgeman Art Library The only way to understand the Great White Throne Judgment, is to develop a personal dialogue with God, and having Him show us, through these very words. Bereans Revelation 20 can trip your mind. It's all about words. The alligator/croc's hide, innards, and every part of him was valuable in trade. Most prized by the ancients, was an oil, that was used for annointing the High Priest/King (Egyptian.) This word loosely translated, "massa" is thought to be the starting point, in the etymology of "Messiah." The Hebrew king, and High Priest, including Messiah Ye'shua HaMashiach, was annointed with a special annointing oil, from the apothecary of God's measurements. God prescribed beaten olive oil annointings, scented with a mystical combination of spices, spices, curses and blessings. It was what was mirrored from the Egyptian and regional religions of the ancients in Canaan, Palestine, and Egypt. There are so many mystical symbols that bind us to the skirt of God. Doing studies on spices, and other natural substances, in the Bible, reveals life eternal, and God's holy face, even in the river's crockadiles. These words, and the symbols, come alive, conveying the bitter and sweet, the profound secrets of existance, love, and immortality, in the ironies, victories, and the luminous power of the WORD, LOGOS. This is one of the names of Christ. He has gotten us victory over the enemies of our soul, the last enemy being death. He has crushed the head of our enemy. He struck his heel and broke his teeth. In Ezekiel 29:3, the term "great dragon" was applied to a human King of Egypt, Pharoah. John, the Divine, is writing the sentence handed down to the original serpentine prince. Eze 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, Pharoah king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have made [it] for myself. The only unforgiveable sin is not to give God His Glory. The word "serpent" ophis occurs 13 x in Revelation. There are 2 Hebrew words for serpent: nakhash and taniym/n. They are somewhat synonomous, but, there are refined values in the symbols, when used in Christian allegory. The brass serpent = taniym, of Moses and Aaron, was a symbol for Christ, and all who saw it lived. Serpent, nakhash x 31: Hebrew for 05175 nachash {naw-khawsh'} serpent 31; 31 Gen 3:1 Now the serpent > (nakhash) 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 not eat of every tree of the garden? Exd 7:10 And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.:> (Taniyn/m x 28 )
Rev 20:3	And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Bottomless pit- The abyss Thousand years: The Millenium of the Bride and Bridgroom; Christ and His people, in New Jerusalem. No death for all flesh for 1000 years when Satan is bound for 1000 years.
Rev 20:4	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them,and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw]the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark, upon their foreheads , or in their hands: and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Rev 20:5	But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6	Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection:on such second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Rev 20:7	And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, Loosed - Greek for 3089 luo > Loosed x 43 Luo {loo-o} 1) to loose any person (or thing) tied or fastened a) bandages of the feet, the shoes, b) of a husband and wife joined together by the bond of matrimony c) of a single man, whether he has already had a wife or has not yet married 2) to loose one bound, i.e. to unbind, release from bonds, set free a) of one bound up (swathed in bandages) b) bound with chains (a prisoner), discharge from prison, let go 3) to loosen, undo, dissolve, anything bound, tied, or compacted together a) an assembly, i.e. to dismiss, break up b) laws, as having a binding force, are likened to bonds c) to annul, subvert d) to do away with, to deprive of authority, whether by precept or act e) to declare unlawful f) to loose what is compacted or built together, to break up, demolish, destroy g) to dissolve something coherent into parts, to destroy h) metaph., to overthrow, to do away with loose 27, break 5, unloose 3, destroy 2, dissolve 2, put off 1, melt 1, break up 1, break down 1; 43 During the Millenium, there will be no death. Satan is bound and held for the 1000 years. These are the Kingdom years, and none shall hurt or destroy in his Holy Presence. This final battle, in Ezekiel 48 and Rev 20:8 may seem like it's post-millenial, but, is it? It fits in perfectly with our world events.
Rev 20:8	And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. 1. Go out 2. Deceive the nations 3. Four quarters 4. Gog and Magog 5. Gather them together 6. To battle 7. The number... 8. Sand of the sea SAND OF THE SEA: Gen 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. Jer 33:22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Hsa 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God. Rom 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: Rev 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. ---------------------------------------------------------- MAGOG (AND GOG) Hebrew for 04031MAGOG Magowg {maw-gogue'} Magog- means "land of Gog" son of Japheth, grandson of Noah. The mountainous region between Cappadocia and Media and the habitation of the descendants of Magog, grandson of Noah. Gen 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea. ______________________________________________
Rev 20:9	And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. JUDGMENT, like in Lot's day: Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; In the OT, "Fire from heaven" was always a sign. Lot's wife was evaporated, and left with the crust of the salt of the salt sea (Dead Sea,Vale of Shittim.) The next notable sign of God's power, was done through the great Prophet, Elijah. : 2Kings 1:10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I [be] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. God also appears as a flame of fire, at night, to guide the Israelites behind Moses. Exd 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: God sanctifies the Temple in a similar display of his glory of Presence, in the Sanctuary. 1Ch 21:26 And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. 2Ch 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. Job 1:16 While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. Luk 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. ______________________________________________
Rev 20:10	And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:11	And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Rev 20:12	And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13	And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. First and second death. Hbr 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Mat 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mar 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. Luk 9:27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. Jhn 8:52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
Rev 20:14	And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15	And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. ____________________________________________ (Rev 19 :19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his great army.) EZEKIEL 38 Eze 38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,\ Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: Eze 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Eze 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee. Eze 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. Eze 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Eze 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Eze 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: Eze 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, Eze 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. Eze 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? Eze 38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]? Eze 38:15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: Eze 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. Eze 38:17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days [many] years that I would bring thee against them? Eze 38:18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall come up in my face. Eze 38:19 For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. Eze 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother. Eze 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Eze 38:23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
