King James Version
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Are you saying the dragon in
Rev. 12 is
NOT the devil? The old serpent?
Rev. 12: 12-13 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for
the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because
he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.
13And when
the dragon saw that
he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
No doubt the
DEVIL will
USE the empire of the beast to persecute the Church but why take him out of the context of
Rev. 12?
