Revelation 12:1-17

1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet , and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

2 And being with child, she cried out in labor pains and suffered to give birth.

3 And another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems.

4 And his tail swept a third of the stars from heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who had given birth, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5 And she gave birth to a male child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron; and her son was caught up to God and to his throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that they might feed her there for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

7 And there was a great battle in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

8 but they prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And that great dragon was cast out, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast down to earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, Now have come salvation, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, the one who accused them before of our God day and night.

11 And they have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives, not even to the point of death.

12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.

13 And when the dragon saw that he had been cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who had given birth to the male child.

14 And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the wilderness, to her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

15 And the serpent spewed water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, in order to cause her to be carried away by the river.

16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed out of its mouth.

17 Then the dragon was furious with the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
