Revelation 12:1-9 ▼

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

2 and having in womb. And she cries out, being in labor, and being in pain to bring forth.

3 And another sign was seen in heaven, and behold, a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.

4 And his tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stands before the woman being about to bring forth, so that when she should bring forth, he might devour her child.

5 And she brought forth a son, a male, who is about to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place having been prepared there from God, so that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred back.

8 And he did not have strength, nor was found their place any longer in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was thrown out, the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, deceiving the whole world. He was thrown to the earth, and his angels were thrown with him.
