The Dragon, the Beast, the False Prophet, Gog, Magog, Revelation of Saint JohnAbstract
The symbolism of Revelation is not easy to decipher. Also in the case of the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet there are many possibilities for interpretation. In our article this characters were presented as having an anti-Trinitarian dimension. We skipped aspects of understending them in the context on the imperialist Rome. The Dragon is the antithesis of God the Father, the Beast is the antithesis of the Son of God and the False Prophet is the antithesis of the Holy Spirit. Their work involves gathering his followers. We can identify Gog and Magog as enemies of God. The fight with them will take place in the end times. Every beliver fights each day with Gog and Magog of obedience to the Trinity and not to the diabolical triad.
