The Old, Defeated Serpent
With Drago, we come to the end of Book One in the star chart. Think of it this way — we have divided the Zodiac into three parts — or books — with each Book containing The Big Picture This is a picture of a dragon (looks more like a snake!) being stepped on by Hercules, the end result being its demise. It can no longer threaten the Beloved. Notice that Hercules is kneeling as though one of his heels has been bruised — again, a pictoral representation of Genesis 3:15. The Gospel Truth In Greek mythology, this is the monster that guarded the golden apples of Hesperides. In order to recover these precious fruits, Hercules entered into a desperate conflict and was the eventual winner. In another myth, this is the monster that guarded the sacred spring and was killed by Cadmus of Thrace. In order to win this fight, Cadmus plucked out the teeth of the dragon. It’s interesting to suppose that the kernel truths in these myths would be that this Drago was, in reality, the snake that stole the access that Adam and Eve were granted to the Tree of Life and the Living Waters of the Garden of Eden. In order to restore these precious treasures of grace, the Lord Jesus entered into a desperate battle with Satan (Drago) and destroyed him and his chief weapon — death! As so we come to the end of this first Book. Here is the enemy, destroyed by the One who came, crushing its head under foot and recovering the treasure that once was lost. The fruit of the Tree of Life is once again freely offered to men. The fear of death is plucked clean of its power over men. Everything that needed to be done for mankind — which mankind could not do for itself — has been done by the Lord Jesus Christ. |
