Satan as Dragon
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Revelation 9:11  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) This is the great dragon of chapter 12, Satan or Azazel. He has a number of names, but in each case, he is the king of all the demons, Lucifer, who became Satan. John W. Ritenbaugh Satan (Part 1)

Revelation 13:4  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The dragon, a biblical symbol of Satan, will give the same power and authority to the ruler of this future empire as he promised Jesus Christ in the temptation described in Luke 4:5-7. Satan finally gets his wish to have someone worship him! Earl L. Henn (1934-1997) The Great Conspiracy

Revelation 13:4-7  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Revelation 13 covers similar ground to what appears in Daniel 11. The Beast is not given this authority carte blanche, but will earn a great deal of it with his own abilities and the force of his personality, as well as with the energy and aid that the Dragon, Satan (Revelation 12:9), gives him. Of course, God makes all of this possible to bring about the end—so that all will work out according to His plan (see Revelation 17:17). Nevertheless, the Beast is so formidable in battle that the whole world is convinced that he is invincible—"Who is able to make war with him?" Humanly, they are correct: No country or confederation can match him, and he ends up dominating "every tribe, tongue, and nation." What power! He will be able to hold that power only by military means. Richard T. Ritenbaugh The Beast's Militarism
