Understanding biblical prophecy and its significance
This site explores biblical prophecy, focusing especially on Revelation chapters 12 and 13, providing insights into their meanings and implications. Two books I recommend for a deeper study:
The Antichrist The Final Campaign Against The Savior by Fr. Vincent P. Miceli, S.J.
The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the Future Life by Fr. Charles Arminjon (see below)
About This Site
This site explores biblical prophecy with the goal of helping readers interpret prophetic symbols, visions, and messages through a lens rooted in scripture and theological study. I hope to clarify complex concepts while offering personal reflections on their relevance today.
This website, The Woman & the Dragon, was created by Fr. John, a diocesan Catholic priest, out of a deep love for sacred scripture and a desire to share the riches of Revelation 12 and 13 with fellow believers. This site approaches the Book of Revelation from a Catholic perspective, drawing on the Church Fathers, approved Marian apparitions, the writings of the saints, and contemporary theological scholarship. The goal is not to provoke fear, but to offer hope — the hope that comes from understanding God’s sovereign plan as revealed in Sacred Scripture and trusting in the triumph of the Woman clothed with the sun. Current events draw me to analyze pieces of the puzzle in these two chapters that have unveiled themselves before our very eyes in the past decade.
All content here is offered for prayerful reflection.

“Reading this was one of the greatest graces of my life. I read it at the window of my study, and the impression I received from it is too intimate and too sweet for me to express…All the great truths of religion, the mysteries of eternity, plunged my soul into a happiness not of this earth…” St. Therese of Lisieux
