Why Is the “Dragon” Not Thrown Into the “Fiery Lake”?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Then, from the jaws of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet I saw three foul spirits come…”
 
Chapter 16, verse 13 of the Revelation of John
 
But the beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet…These two were thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulphur.”
 
Chapter 19, verse 20 of the Revelation of John
 
He who is near me is near the fire…”
 
Saying #82 from the Gospel of Thomas
 
So, a question: Why is the “dragon” not thrown into the “fiery lake”?
 
Esoterically, the “dragon” is the origin of the duality (the “fire” of desire and fearsee saying #13 in the Gospel of Thomas), whereas the “fiery lake” is the combination of two symbols: the “fire” of the duality and the “lake” of the “beast of the sea” consciousness of the “self”, in which the “beast of the (‘watery’) sea” (see the opening passages of the Second Meditation of Descartes) consciousness of the “self” and the “beast of the earth” consciousness of the ‘thinker’ are both destroyed. But throwing the “dragon” into the “fiery lake” would be the same as throwing “fire” into the “fiery lake”.
 
In other words, although there is a time-reversal to the non-dualistic consciousness Created by God in the Revelation of the Memory of Creation (the “spiritual” resurrection in The Treatise On the Resurrection) and the revelation of the memories of previous lives (the “psychic” resurrection in The Treatise On the Resurrection), “fire” cannot be destroyed by being thrown into the “fiery lake”; that is, the duality itself can never be resolved into non-duality, and ‘the Fall’ from the non-dualistic consciousness into the dualistic consciousness can never be reversed.
 
Such Truths will be understood by those of the Eastern esoteric perspective long before they will ever be understood by those steeped in the metaphysical idolatry of Christian theology.

      The devil is cast into the lake of fire.

      Step 1, while his buddies are in the lake of fire,

      Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

      Step 2, class reunion time,

      Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

      Such things are never understood by those steeped in claptrap.

        You are talking about the SECOND battle of the End.

        That is something completely DIFFERENT than the FIRST battle of the End.

        Do you even know the DIFFERENCE between these two battles?

        Of course not.

        You have NO Knowledge.

        You can quote the Revelations to your heart’s content; but that does NOT mean that you have ANY understanding of what those Revelations mean.

        You probably think that Jesus will ‘ride a white horse out of the SKY’, when the phrase used is “And I saw HEAVEN open…”

        Listen, wise guy.

        I will believe that you have even ONE word to say about the Revelation of John the moment that you EXPLAIN to me Chapter 3, verse 24 of Genesis: “He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden He posted the cherubs, and the flame of a flashing sword, to guard the Way to the Tree of Life.”

        What are the “cherubs”?

        What is the “flame of a flashing sword”?

        What is the “Way”? (a term also used by Jesus in “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.”)

        And what is the “Tree of Life”?

        Explain THESE terms to me BEFORE you try to explain to me what the “dragon” is and what happens to it.

        Oh, by the way, wise guy…

        While *Adam* is banished from the garden of Eden, what happened to Eve?

        And, more importantly, WHY?

        You don’t know the answer to either of those questions…

        Because you have NO Knowledge.
