In Search of the Red Dragon...
One of the items that has eluded us all is, what is the counterpart Sign of the Woman of Revelation 12? We read that it is a red dragon, but how is that manifesting itself? Brad Hurst sent in the following and it is being copied and pasted below. Being next to the fires in California prompted to rethink the Sign of the Red Dragon.. Nbiru is mentioned below and is that author’s own view and does not reflect the views on this website.
In search of the great red dragon. One of the most mystifying things about the Revelation
12 sign and it’s fulfilment on 9/23/17 is the great red dragon. It is the second
wonder to be seen in heaven but is another (Strongs gk állos, al'-
I have been a student of astronomy for more than 40 years. I have made many trips
to Mount Wilson and the Griffith observatory. I had my own telescopes and read many
magazines journals and did some pre-
What is telling about Hamlet’s Mill (Giorgio de Santillana MIT· Hertha von Dechend University of Frankfurt) is the ground breaking discovery that what we thought was myth (astrology) is actually a record of the ancient motions of the cosmos. They were designed to help us track the precession of the equinoxes. Yes, corruptions did find their way in (thanks to Plato), but many survive even today. Most were well known up until the middle ages and were common knowledge in biblical lands and times.
Originally, I was convinced it would be Nibiru and Stellarium seemed to make it fit positionally. It still may have played a part. But we could not see it. That bothered me. However, I decided to wait and work hard at NOT making something fit while waiting for more information. Then it hit me. Today’s fires reminded me of the eclipse. The daylight has been very dim all day due to the smoke. I had what to me was a revelation. I felt real stupid for it should have been realized much earlier. The following web site explains it best.
http://exploratorium.edu/eclipse-
“A recurring and pervasive embodiment of the eclipse was a dragon, or a demon, who devours the sun. The ancient Chinese would produce great noise and commotion during an eclipse, banging on pots and drums to frighten away the dragon. The Incas, too, tried to intimidate the creatures who were eating the sun. In India they took a different tact — people would immerse themselves up to the neck in water, an act of worship they believed helped the sun fight off the dragon.”
In college I was taught by Dr. Pilkey that most myth has some connection to historical event. Hamlet’s Mill proved that a lot of it comes from scientific observations of the cosmos as recorded by the ancients. When diverse cultures have a similar myth regarding a particular event it is assumed to have come from a common source.
In the ancient world, all over the world, from China to the Americas to India and other parts of the world, there are legends and even depictions of Dragons being associated with Solar Eclipses. As seen above eventually superstitions entered in. What bothers me is that I knew this.
According to Revelation 12, the sign of the great red dragon (Solar Eclipse occurs prior to the sign of the woman for it is in place ready to devour the child). It is note worthy to state that the eclipse WAS SEEN and 20 days later Nibiru also known as the dragon moved into place UNSEEN.
This sign according to Revelation has seven heads and ten horns, which are explained in Chapter 13 and Chapter 17 as political powers. Seven heads Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Abbasid Islam under Persia (From India to Spain) and Ottoman Islam (From the Kazaks to Vienna, and across North Africa). These territories comprise the Islamic empires and have been broken into ten state. Turkey, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon. Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan. There is flexibility on these. Three of the horns have been plucked by the roots. Iraq, Syria, Libya.
While one can argue the political understandings of Chapter 13 and 17 it is increasingly more certain to me that the Solar Eclipse was the sign of the dragon being that solar eclipses were associated with dragons and to talk about a dragon (Astronomically) was to be talking about a solar eclipse.
Here is Persis Berlekamp, Associate Professor of Art History University of Chicago:
“Astrology informed a great deal of medieval Islamic art. It references the solar calendar, which in any preindustrial society, is extremely important—it tells you when to plant, when to go to war, when to lay foundations for buildings. Any court had its astrological advisors, who had their own fans and enemies.
One motif you see in both the art and architecture of the 12th and 13th centuries, particularly from Anatolia to Iraq, is called an eclipse dragon. It appears as a stylized knotted dragon, and it’s a reconciliation of ancient Near Eastern belief and what the astronomers of the day knew about the science of eclipses.
According to ancient mythology, an eclipse happened when a giant celestial dragon swallowed the sun and the moon. But the medieval astronomers knew it happened when the sun and moon and the earth all lined up. So they reconciled these ideas by creating this invisible, theoretical entity, the ‘eclipse dragon,’ moving around in the sky. When its head and tail correspond to the ‘nodes’ where the courses of the heavenly bodies cross when eclipses happen, that’s when the dragon swallows the moon and sun.
... It’s very different from how we think about mythology and science today. In our world, it is necessary and important that educated people uphold the boundary between them. But this is an example from another era when intelligent, educated people answered to both simultaneously. If we can get our heads around that, it really expands our understanding of the range of ways art has mattered in the long, varied, history of human experience.”

Therefore, according to this, the Red Dragon of Revelation 12 was most likely represented
by the Solar Eclipse that went across America. Is it any wonder then what has happened
to the Americas since that time? I am just processing this at the same time it is
being put on the website. This is for your immediate consideration in what looks
to be our final moments. It is no wonder then that the eclipse has played such a
big part in the numerical calculations because it was the other sign. All that remains
then is the harpazo of the male-
The 21st Day of the Seventh Month
Tomorrow is October 12th and what looks to be the Seventh Day of Tabernacles. It is also Columbus Day, celebrating 525 years since Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. Six months after his discovery, there was a tetrad of lunar eclipses. Does it all then come full circle? If the Red Dragon was the sign of the eclipse across America, it only makes sense as America is obviously hated by the Satanic World. America does stand in the way of the coming world empire as pictured by the Sign of the Dragon and America does not play a major role during the final seven years. We have been warned.
Consider also Haggai (to the left) who on the Seventh Day of Tabernacles received this word of a great earthquake. Could this also refer to this day? We shall see.
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.
And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.
