THE DAN PAINTINGThe Serpent and Scales: Dan has two signs - the serpent entwined about scales of justice. Dan shall judge his people... Dan shall be a serpent in the way. (Genesis 49:16-17) Dan also has two meanings. Dan shall judge, but he also shall be judged. Dans name is omitted thereafter from the genealogical listings of the tribes. (Note: It was the tribe of Dan that first introduced idolatry to Israel after they crossed the Jordan.)The Scorpion: The principle star in the constellation of Scorpio is its brightest and most well-known star, Antares. This ancient Arabic name is thought by some to mean the wounding.So here we have a picture of Satan and a blueprint of his battle with Messiah. Biblical examples include Pharaoh (Exodus 14:5-7), Haman (Esther 4:8-9), Herod (Matthew 2:13,16-18). And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12:4)
