3550 — "Dragon" or "I," Rev. 13:1

By Editor

You say it was the dragon that stood on the sand of the sea. Don't other works say that "I" stood on the sand of the sea?

The Revised Version reads "he," and this is in harmony with the best Greek copies. He, the dragon, stood upon the sand of the sea. The sea represents multitudes, nations, peoples, kings. Satan stood in that position where he could look out upon all the great masses, in order that he might mold them at his will.
