This battle would prove to the world that God favored England led by Elizabeth by granting her victory in her efforts against her enemies. It could also be said that where the horse crushes the demon while Elizabeth simultaneously saves the Truth, a Protestant leader fights for truth against evil. It can be clearly understood that Protestantism is God's favorite religion and furthermore, Elizabeth is the chosen ruler of the country.
