This morning I'm wearing a Christmas present...a black and white shirt that says, "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy & taste good with ketchup."I've also got a poster in my office, stuck to the wall with a steak knife that says, "CAUTION: This area is protected by fire breathing dragons." This one is under Aragorn who is next to Sweeney Todd and Cap'n Jack Sparrow/Will Turner.
One of my favorite chick flicks is "Reign of Fire" where the dragons have taken over most of the world but eventually get annihilated when Christian Bale's character, Quinn, blows up the male's guts with a C-4 crossbow bolt down his fire breathing gullet...AND goes walking off into the distance with his arm around the female American helicopter pilot!!
So what's my point? Dragons were real at one time...check out the description in Job 41:1-34, as were dinosaurs...brontosaurus is aptly described in the preceding chapter at Behemoth. THE Dragon...Satan himself...is still real and is prowling about to rip your guts out and swallow you whole if you give him the chance. HOWEVER, as 1 John 4:4 says, "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world!" God has given His angels not only charge over you to protect you, but sends them to help you fight off the demons, powers, principalities, rulers, world forces of darkness, spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places, and Satan himself as necessary.
You've got the Holy Spirit within (assuming you're saved), you're in the Father's right hand, and Jesus is seated at His right hand interceding for you, so even without angels you've got the Dragon outnumbered 4 to 1, so you can "stand firm against the schemes of the devil" in the strength of Christ's might while tramping with both feet on The Dragon's head as Ephesians 6:10-20 indicates in practical Christian-walk details. So...
got heavenly armor and sword?
