And who do we know is identified as the dragon? That's right,
Satan. Look at the metaphorical similarities.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent , called the Devil , and Satan , which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Isaiah called him a "crooked serpent." He called him a "piercing serpent" (as in the one responsible for piercing Jesus) even "leviathan" and the Devil and Satan. And notice Isaiah says God will punish him with His Sword. Who is the Sword? The Word of God, Jesus.

This is not the exact picture Watchman used, but to me
it is even more descriptive because it shows the swords also. Hmmm..... swords,
