Ok, so im listening to a preacher on the radio, he says "pilate" was the dragon, WAS Pilate the dragon?....?

Question

he made his point from the book of revelation and from genesis and also from daniel. he compared the dragon which waited to devour the child jesus and he went into all the talk of the Roman empire and pilate being a servant of rome. but i think he left out a few things!

i didnt agree! it would be Herod who wanted to kill the baby jesus NOT Pilate.

Pilate found no guilt in jesus and publicly washed his hands of him. he later was baptized and joined the christian church. He also had a visitation of christ. (source Glenn kimbal historian testimony)

Answer 1

the dragon is the devil ..

Answer 2

Some pastors talk absolute rubbish, but they sell books for those who refuse to think it out themselves. I agree with you about it not being Pilate as he wanted nothing to do with it, also Herod had died when this was wrote in revelation, It is thought to be Nero.As for Pilate being Christian that too is wrong. There is little evidence he existed never mind what he did after.

Answer 3

I believe your right about it being Herod and not pilate!

Answer 4

No,  He was not the dragon any more than dozens of other people through out the history.

Most of the book of Revelation was fulfilled when the apostles died off or shortly afterward.  Remember, they thought the end was coming then and some even sold their possessions and went to the mountain top to wait.

Revelation, except for a very few passages like being faithful until the end are no longer applicable to us.  We know that we cannot know the time when Jesus will appear again and each time someone proclaims a certain time He is coming again, we can know of assurity that is not when He will return.

Answer 5

Life is too short to be bothered with such rubbish.
