The Story of The Dragon vs: God

The Adventures of Don The Dragon Slayer Part II
Once upon a time in a Kingdom called Heaven, there was a great uprising, a mighty rebellion against the Great One who created all things, and some of His created beings known as angels. The rebellion was lead by an angel called Lucifer. Now Lucifer was a beautiful angel, because he was created to worship God, day and night before the throne of God, he even had built in pipes to play music, and sing praises to God.

One day Lucifer decided that he was way to beautiful to serve God, He decided his magnificence was so great that he would become like God. ( Isaiah 14:13 You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. 4 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.")

There was a great war in heaven, and God the Father, expelled Satan, known as Lucifer, ( Ezekiel 28:12b, 'You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. 14 You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. 15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. 16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. 17 Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings.)

Revelation 12: (New International Version) 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. 7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him), and yes the angels that followed him in his rebellion against The Mighty God of heaven, who had created them. One third of the angels followed Satan, so God the Father kicked them out of heaven , and threw them down to earth.

Once on earth Lucifer, who was now known as Satan, or the Devil, tried to set up his kingdom here. God created man, and woman in the garden of Eden. (You can read the whole account of this in Genesis chapter:1, 2, 3) God told them they could eat of any fruit in the garden except the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good, and evil. God gave Adam rule over all living things, animals, and plants. [Genesis 1:28 (New International Version) 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." 29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.] The serpent (that old dragon the devil) came to Eve, and enticed her to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good, and evil, by telling her a lie, that it would make her like God, so she ate, and gave some to her husband Adam. They disobeyed God, and through that disobedience brought sin, and death to the whole world, and relinquished their rule over the earth to that old dragon Satan. (You can read the entire account of the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3. ) In Genesis 3:14, God told the serpent(the Devil), that He would send a man to crush his head, or in other words, to defeat him. God fulfilled that prophecy by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin,[Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel(Jesus)], and because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, [ Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.], sin was not passed on to Him, because sin came through Adam,[Romans 5:12 [ Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ ] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—](You can read all about this in Romans chapter 5). Therefore since sin was not passed onto Him, He was born without sin, and because Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit of God, Jesus was born not only man, but also God. He is therefore God, and man.(to be continued)
