promise of Satan that men can become as gods if they will seek after the wisdom he can give
to them. In the image in the water we also see reflected Satan’s heavenly kingdom. Satan
has been working steadily toward that day when his kingdom will include the worship and
fealty of all mankind. All the nations will worship the dragon.

This testimony was expressed by numerous means as the nation was being formed. You will
recall in a numerous post that at the Masonic cornerstone laying ceremonies and other key
events in the history of America, the Dragon’s Head, a node of the moon, was prominently
featured astrologically. In the heavens we also find the constellation Draco, the Dragon.
This constellation represents Satan, the adversary of the people of God.

Constellation Draco

This is actually a poor depiction, for as I have shared in other writings, Ursa Minor, also
known as the Little Bear, was in ancient times known as the Lesser Sheepfold. Ursa Major,
was similarly referenced as the Greater Sheepfold. These two constellations represent the
people of God, Israel and the Church. Note the proximity of the Dragon to those stars
representing the people of God.

This image of Draco, as is true of most depictions of this constellation, looks more like a
serpent than a dragon. Dragons are actually nothing more than winged, flying serpents. In
the Garden of Eden we read of the serpent’s encounter with Eve. He is figured as being in
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, tempting her to eat. When Yahweh pronounces
judgment on the serpent, we are told that the serpent is cursed from that day forward to go
forth on its belly, eating the dust of the earth.

What we learn from this is that the serpent did not previously go forth on its belly. This was
its condition AFTER Yahweh judged the serpent. How then did it travel before it was
cursed? I see only one appropriate answer. The serpent was winged, and it flew. Satan is
called both “the dragon,” and “the serpent of old” (Revelation 12:9, 20:2). In one form he
is a serpent, and in the other he is a flying serpent.

Unknown to many people, the first emblem of America as a nation was not an eagle, it was
a serpent. The very first political cartoon published in a newspaper in America is attributed
to Benjamin Franklin.
