We are studying the rebellion of Korah today, so I thought I might listen to a song by the band the Sons of Korah for the first time. I picked the first result which was Psalm 91, this is for you Stephenie: [Old Link]
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. (Psalm 91:13) I think we can take this to be a prophecy about the Messiah. It is the Messiah that was to crush the dragon's head. I made this connection listening to the song where it is a more obvious link.
If this prophecy is about Jesus, then we should consider the fact that in order to defeat the dragon Satan, Jesus died on a cross. All these messages of protection apply not so much to our mortal life but as Jesus says:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)
If you are saved you can rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Luke 10:20) Nothing can hurt the saved more than they can bear, because God is merciful and this mortal life is just a shadow of things to come.
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul.
