Seal No. 6 : Michael and the dragon Michael and the dragon represent the purified human being, not only spiritualized but grown strong in spirituality, who has not only subdued the lower forces, but so transformed them that, changed for the better, they are at the service of humanity. The tamed dragon expresses this. “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the devil, Satan, and bound him a thousand years.”
