Revelation:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And there appeared a great sign in heaven-a woman clothed with the sun ,
and the moon under her feet ,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars ;
*
and she being pregnant ,
cried out in travail ,
and in pangs ,
to be delivered .
*
And there appeared another sign in heaven ;
and ,
behold !
a great fiery dragon ,
having seven heads and ten horns ,
and upon his heads seven crowns .
*
And his tail drew down a third part of the stars of heaven ,
and cast them to the earth :
and the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth ,
that when she was delivered he might devour her child .
*
And she brought forth a masculine son ,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron :
and he child was suddenly taken up to God ,
even to his throne .
*
And the woman fled into the wilderness ,
where she had a place prepared by God ,
that she might there be nourished one thousand two hundred and sixty days .
*
And there was war in heaven :
Michael and his angels made war against the dragon ;
and the dragon made war ,
and his angels :
*
nevertheless ,
they did not prevail ,
neither was place found for them any more in heaven .
*
And thus the great dragon was cast out ;
even the old serpent called the Devil ,
and Satan ,
who deceives the world ,
was cast out to the earth ;
and his angels were cast out with him .
*
And I heard a great voice saying ,
in heaven ,
Now is come the salvation ,
and the power ,
and the kingdom of our God ,
and the authority of his Christ ;
because the accuser of our brethren is cast out ,
who accused them before our God day and night .
*
And they have overcome him by the blood of the Lamb ,
and by the word of their testimony ;
and they loved not their lives to the death .
*
Therefore ,
rejoice you heavens ,
and you who inhabit them .
But woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea ;
for the devil is come down to you ,
having great wrath ,
because he knows that he has but a short time .
*
And when the dragon saw that he was cast out on the earth ,
he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the masculine child .
*
And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle ,
that she might fly into the wilderness ,
to her place ;
where she is nourished for a time ,
and times ,
and half a time ,
from the face of the serpent .
*
And the serpent threw out of his mouth water ,
like a river ,
after the woman ,
that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream :
*
and the earth opened its mouth ,
and drank up the flood which the dragon threw out of his mouth .
*
And the dragon was enraged against the woman ,
and went away to make war against the remainder of her seed ,
who keep the commandments of God ,
and retain the testimony of Jesus Christ .
