Isn’t it amazing to find Satan described as the dragon throughout the Book of Revelation? We see in the heavens
the radiant light reflecting off the moon down onto the Constellation of Draco, that represents the dragon.

June 2398 Satan chained into the abyss for a thousand years

The abyss is the bottomless pit in the earth. Nevertheless, there is a sign of the serpent, which is the
Constellations of Serpens. Is this the sign of a dragon in the heavens for fulfillment of prophecy? Yes, it is to
demonstrate to the world that there is a Creator of the universe and the Word was with God from the beginning.
Those who have insight will understand the significance of this point. It is proof there is an Almighty God who
created this universe and revealed this through His Word to mankind. The Constellation of Draco is depicted as
a dragon snake, because the serpent had tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. It is normally located at
the top of the northern hemisphere. We have seen this constellation used before as a sign for Satan being thrown
down to the earth prior to the First Trumpet Judgment. It is a wonder in the heavens, since Draco is just above
the earth. The Constellation of Draco is now used to depict Satan being bound and chained in the abyss for a
thousand years. Let us take a look at Holman’s Dictionary and how it defines the abyss, the bottomless pit.

ABYSS: Transliteration of the Greek word abussos, literally meaning “without bottom.” KJV translates “the deep” or
“bottomless” pit. NASB, NIV, RSV use “abyss” to refer to the dark abode of the dead (Rom. 10:7). Abaddon rules the abyss
(Rev. 9:11), from which will come the beast of the End Times of Revelation (11:7). The beast of the abyss faces ultimate destruction
(Rev. 17:8), and Satan will be bound there during the millennium (Rev. 20:1–3).

Pluto represents the underworld or abyss. The dragon is the term used throughout the Book of Revelation for
Satan. This was because of the heavenly sign seen by the Apostle John in his vision, was “a great red dragon.”
Revelation 12:3 “Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven
219
heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven diadems.”
