Rev 12: 7 & 9 & 12 War broke out in heaven. Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon. The great Dragon-ancient Serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, the one who led the whole earth astray--thrown out, and all his Angels thrown out with him, thrown down to earth. He's wild and raging with anger, he hasn't much time left and he knows it. (The Message)
What I can envision here is old Japanese monster movies. The Godzilla ones.
Godzilla was first seen in 1954 and was portrayed as a frightening, nuclear monster who represented the fears of many Japanese in a repetition of nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki In the movie, Gojira (1954), Godzilla was a 164 foot monster reptile, weighed 20,000 metric tons and had radioactive breath. He went on a mad rampage, destroying Tokyo. His rampage was not only to destroy Tokyo, but the rest of the world as well.
Godzilla has become one of the world's most recognized monsters. He is one of the most recognizable assets of Japanese popular culture and remains as important facts of Japanese films and has been considered a filmograpic metaphor for the US. (Wikipedia encyclopedia)
It's easy to picture Godzilla (in his anger) spewing his atomic fiery breath over buildings and people.
But I can also picture Satan and how mad he was over his defeat by an angel.
Think of him standing up as tall as he could and just spewing out that anger and fire, unable to control himself.
Isn't it a shame that it's Godzilla who is the most recognized monster?
Shouldn't it be Satan? Shouldn't Satan be the one we know more about? After all, Godzilla is a fictional character and Satan is not.
Read Revelation 12 in it's entirety and maybe Satan will become your most recognized monster.
