Excellent points! But let’s explore a bit deeper this business of the dragon, which represents evil. In Revelation 12 we have St John’s vision of the woman and the dragon: “…Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth…Michael and his angels battled against the dragon….” It’s fair to say here that the woman is involved in a fight against the dragon that ultimately ends in hurling it into the lake of fire, certainly not taming it. So the woman participates in the fight, but not by wielding a sword herself but by giving birth to a son who will rule. Whatever you make of this, it’s clear that individualism doesn’t fit. (What do you make of it?)
