Revelation 12 (The Message)
3-4And then another Sign alongside the first: a huge and fiery Dragon! It had seven heads and ten horns, a crown on each of the seven heads. With one flick of its tail it knocked a third of the Stars from the sky and dumped them on earth. The Dragon crouched before the Woman in childbirth, poised to eat up the Child when it came............7-12War broke out in Heaven. Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon. The Dragon and his Angels fought back, but were no match for Michael. They were cleared out of Heaven, not a sign of them left. The great Dragon—ancient Serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, the one who led the whole earth astray—thrown out, and all his Angels thrown out with him, thrown down to earth.
Motorcyclist call it the "Tail of the Dragon". Cagers (four wheel vehicle riders) call it Highway 129. The Dragon is the most popular motorcycle and sports car roads in the United States. The short 11 mile trip from Deals Gap on the North Carolina, Tennessee Border is filled with 318 curves. It is a challenge to ride or drive. I was so fortunate to be able to ride this adventurous stretch of highway. Here is a couple of pictures of Steph and I on the Dragon:
If you want to get the real feel of the Dragon -- here is a video of a guy riding a yellow Goldwing on the curves. This guy is crazy and a great rider! He makes it look so easy.
Goldwing on the Dragon!
The Tail of the Dragon is very dangerous stretch of highway. People that ride or drive this usually do so in a way that is well beyond their experience level. Most people, attempt to slay the dragon by "Driving on the Edge" for this short 11 miles. Since 1995 12 people have lost their lives on this winding mountain road. I know this road is nothing like a real dragon. But, many riders treat this road just like they do the Dragon of Revelation 12. They feel like they can't be hurt, they feel like the dangers aren't real, and they are different than everyone else, they can handle it. Trust me, the Dragon mentioned in this Chapter is just as real as the dangers on Highway 129. People try to challenge the Dragon we know as Satan, just like many riders ride Highway 129. Most people don't take sin and Satan seriously. They feel like the danger is not real. They don't have the experience or proper skill to defeat him.
We are powerless against sin. We are powerless to defeat Satan on our own. God has an Army. He has the power and the weapons to defeat this Dragon. He kicked him from Heaven and he will once and for all defeat him in the last battle. We need to rely on the Power of Jesus Christ and the Power of God's Army of Angels to keep us safe and protect us from evil. Constantly Pray for his protection. We need to approach every turn and every Esse of the Highway of Life with God as our Driver. He will take us on this wild ride of Life. He will protect us and never let us die! When you take the turns of HWY 129 too fast and you lose control, you can die. When you live life with the backing of God's army, you will also die.
Dear Lord, Thank you for your love. Thank You for protecting us from evil. You are awesome and powerful and we praise you. We worship you with our lives. Amen!
