Revelation 12 introduces the dragon as the first member of a "false trinity" that represents the true enemy behind the church's persecution and suffering.

This passage reveals the spiritual warfare underlying earthly conflicts and sets up the ultimate confrontation between God's kingdom and Satan's counterfeit system.
