We now see the final fury of God's enemies, here led by one called "The Dragon." The dragon would represent sin and opposition to God. It is a much more vicious and frightening version of the serpent found at Creation. A serpent is subtle, quiet, unassuming. But now we see the serpent (sin) as he really is: a giant dragon that can wipe away entire populations with the swipe of his tail.
Of course, the images here depict more literal battles upon the earth: military campaigns against God's people. Even today, you can see the world itself preparing itself for opposition against the Church of God and maybe Israel (is Israel Christ's "mother"?). Forces that would never combine will do so, in order to wipe the Church off the face of the earth. The closer we get to the end, the worse it will get.
For the devil is down there with you now, full of tremendous anger, knowing that he has only a little time.
So watch now, how really the focal point of hate and opposition in the world today, is collected upon the Church of Christ.
