We're Edom? I thought the Edomites = Semites, and the West was the New Jerusalem. But yes, we are infested and terrorized. Have you read the Eddas? The description of the final battle, Ragnarok, and Armageddon/Revelation events are quite similar.
Meybe you are right and i mixed sth.
I always associate this image with this fragment.:
Revelation 12:7–9
7 And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, 8but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
I might be wrong, hard to know when things have been obscured for hundreds of years!
Great passage and picture of St Michael. I also like the legend of St George and the Dragon and the dragon of . There is a common theme of dragons/snakes being crushed. Satan's days are numbered.
I think more is hidden than anyone could have imagined. Human culture and, for example, stories about dragons have survived in very fragmented forms, and in addition, those who rewrote them often distorted them. Only by checking the same story from several sources and in several languages can you spot errors. Maybe here is one story in different versions because each social group treated it as its own?
