Sometimes a dragon is just a dragon
Good grief. There is reason to believe that in the ancient world, meteor and comet trails in the sky were portents of doom in the form of devastating planetary impacts. I doubt that the Bible instead had in mind a light show on a large building as a sign of the Apocalypse.
Agree, the dragon is just a dragon and has been part of Chinese culture for eons.

The author grasping at religious straws at best.
I was surprised that this news item hadn't gotten more attention on FR. This is FR, after all!
In the middle of this month, a gigantic 270 foot dragon was literally coiled around the upper portion of New York City's most famous skyscraper.
People get all worked up about "signs", but few consider signs as reverse messaging. That would require a slight amount of effort (looking toward the light, for starters), whereas it takes zero skill to find evil. It's pretty obvious that evil is located on every street corner. Pointing out evil is like shooting fish in a barrel. I suppose a lot of folks have bills to pay.
Here is a recent sign of death in the sports world: 24 Will Amaze.
270 = evil [ער]:
Strong's Number H7451 matches the Hebrew רַע (raʿ), which occurs 666 times in 623 verses in the WLC Hebrew.
270: the Hebrew numeral is written in reverse, because in the normal order, it would spell evil. Instead, it's ע"ר.
Thus, with a simple flip...
עֵר • ('ér) (feminine עֵרָה, masculine plural עֵרִים, feminine plural עֵרוֹת)
awake (conscious)
עָר • ('ár) m (plural indefinite עָרִים, singular construct עַר־, plural construct עֲרֵי־)
laurel (plant)
Laurus nobilis L. -- bay laurel, true laurel, or sweet bay. Native to the Mediterranean region. Used as an ornamental plant and culinary herb (one type of bay leaf) used in Mediterranean style dishes. It was also the original source of the laurel wreath of ancient Greece.
(a classic symbol of victory)
Interestingly, this is all happening during "the Year of the Dragon" according to the Chinese calendar.
Yang-Wood, the element for this new Year of the Dragon, is connected to trees, forests, or wooden posts. You'll see a lot of dragons up trees or wrapped around posts in new year imagery this year. According to the Chinese Five Elements theory, the colour of Wood is associated with green.
It's the year of the Wood Dragon, aka the Green Dragon, a place-name famous for certain men going inside in order to plot a Revolution. (America -- conceived in a pub. God Bless America.)
Green, for the patina of the copper dragon sign.
The wood dragon is the azure dragon is the green dragon:
The Azure Dragon represents the east and the spring season.[1] It is also sometimes referred to as the Blue-green Dragon, Green Dragon, or the Blue Dragon.
On that color note (literally shades of cyan, a primary color on the CMYK color model), here's a recent article from a Jewish source containing much overlapping information and symbolism , without even mentioning the year or the dragon hanging from the ESB:
At times, tekhelet is described as sapphire-blue or sea-blue, while other times it is described as greenish-blue or turquoise. Whatever the case, tekhelet is associated with the sea and its range of hues. The association here is actually quite mystical and profound. In fact, tzitzit is meant to remind us not only of God's laws, but of Creation itself, and the very structure of the cosmos.
The first time that we see a greenish-blue string is right at the beginning, on Day One of Creation. We are told that at first, the cosmos was tohu v'vohu. These mysterious words have been explained in a wide variety of ways.

Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan points out that the etymology of teli might very well be talah, to "hang", as if the Earth is hanging by a string attached to it. This is supported by various ancient sources cited by Rabbi Kaplan, including a Midrash that says Earth is suspended from a fin of the Leviathan. The teli was long-associated with the Leviathan (described as a dragon by our Sages), as well as the nachash bariah or "Pole Serpent" mentioned in Tanakh, as in Isaiah 27:1.
He drew in the "green line" without drawing in the Green Line, but I'll mention it because the US embassy in JerUSAlem sits right on top of it, joining East and West.
As such, it has an interconnected "what's on the horizon" vibe to it.
(According to the sketch, what's on second, the base abbreviated as "2B": "two lines crossed in the middle: one vertical line and one horizontal line")
The world... is hanging by a thread.
Now what. Watch people totally freak out when they realize [out of the blue] that the world as nobody sees it.. is *exactly* as it's been presented all along.
🤷♀️
It's what the deep blue signs keep on saying,
Your Surprise is Waiting
The Devil already owned NYC when I got out in 1983. /smirk
But WHY after being chained a thousand years MUST the devil be set free for “a season?” Does God perhaps have some sympathy for him/it?
Did this just happen?
I know something like that happened a few years ago. Is this another one?
Because there will be people born during the Millennium who have never faced temptation and will have to choose between good and evil.
