What are some of the most perplexing Scripture passages?

it's just me said:
From what Bible? The Klingon bible? The parable is known as the parable of the unjust steward. If you read the Bible you'd know that.

Actually, it is know as the the unmerciful slave...if you were a spiritual man instead of the physical man that you are, you would know that...

The message is that Satan has been thrown out of heaven, along with his angels, which has resulted in turmoil on the earth, because he knows he has a short period left until his destruction...not sure what other message you're looking for...

I am not aware of any other reason for calling Satan a dragon other than because of the serpent he used in the garden and the fact that Satan was the 1st of creation to lie...as Jesus said...

"You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie." John 8:44

Looking at the original word in Greek, we can see that the description is very fitting...

From the Greek draʹkon, depicting a terrifying monster, a serpentlike devourer. It occurs 13 times in the Bible but only in the highly symbolic book of Revelation, and it represents Satan the Devil. He is the “great fiery-colored dragon, with seven heads and ten horns,” having a tail that draws “a third of the stars of heaven” after him, these first being induced to materialize as humans before the Flood and then becoming demons. (Re 12:3, 4; Jude 6) Together with these demons, Satan the Dragon is cast out of heaven down to the vicinity of the earth. “So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan.” (Re 12:7-9) In this debased state he persecutes the remnant of God’s “woman,” those having “the work of bearing witness.”​—Re 12:13-17.

He said, "How will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we illustrate it? It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."

-- Jesus
