Verses 3-4: The “dragon” is identified as Satan (in verse 9). His “red” color shows his murderous character (compare John 8:44). His “seven heads” and “seven crowns” depict the completeness and universality of his power and influence (but compare Psalm 74:14). His “ten horns” show Satan’s connection with the fourth beast (of Daniel 7:7, 24), and with the Beast from the sea (in chapter 13:1-10 of Revelation). The “third part of the stars of heaven” are probably the fallen angels who followed Satan in his original rebellion against God (compare Isa. 14:12-15; Ezek. 28:12-16; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6). At the time of the birth of Christ, Satan was ready to kill Him (compare Matt. 2:13-18).
Revelation 12:3 “And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.”
“Great red dragon”: The woman’s mortal enemy is Satan, who appears as a dragon 13 times in this book (compare verses 9; 20:2). Red speaks of bloodshed (compare John 8:44).
We see here this “red dragon”. This is the devil, and he is shown red all over to show his murderous and destructive personality. This is the only place in the New Testament that dragon is used. Here it is not a literal “dragon”, but a figure of Satan (see article “Satan”).

It takes two seconds to search a bible verse online. You cannot find it because it doesn't exist. I don't care how many years people have lied to you about it.

And I in fact did spend years looking it up myself, which is why I know it isn't there. Apparently you didn't do the same.

Revelation Chapter 12. Here are some excerpts with commentary from https://discoverrevelation.com/revelation-chapter-12/

“Great red dragon”: The woman’s mortal enemy is Satan, who appears as a dragon 13 times in this book (compare verses 9; 20:2). Red speaks of bloodshed (compare John 8:44).

This is just poor translation and interpretation. As you see, nowhere does it say that Satan was an angel, only the added commentary.
