The title sounds creative and it is, but credit the apostle John, he wrote the book, not me. We were studying Revelation 12 in BSF this week and as I started to answer a question about the contents of the chapter, I noticed it laid out in a form very much like poetry. I am always looking for an easy A on an assignment, so I presented my answer about the content as this poem. The symbolism seems fairly obvious to me, but there are, as with many things in Revelation, several views.
The Woman, the Dragon, the Child
A woman, about to give birth.
A dragon, who swept his stars to earth.
A child, destined to rule, ascended.
A dragon's plan to devour, upended.
A refuge keeps the woman safe.
Her offspring feel the dragon's rage.
But he shall feel the Lamb's!
