* Now a great sign appeared in heaven : a woman clothed with the sun , with the moon under her feet , and on her head a garland of twelve stars . * Then being with child , she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth . * And another sign appeared in heaven : behold , a great , fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns , and seven diadems on his heads . * His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth . And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth , to devour her Child as soon as it was born . * She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron . And her Child was caught up to God and His throne . * Then the woman fled into the wilderness , where she has a place prepared by God , that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days . * And war broke out in heaven : Michael and his angels fought with the dragon ; and the dragon and his angels fought , * but they did not prevail , nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer . * So the great dragon was cast out , that serpent of old , called the Devil and Satan , who deceives the whole world ; he was cast to the earth , and his angels were cast out with him . * Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven , "Now salvation , and strength , and the kingdom of our God , and the power of His Christ have come , for the accuser of our brethren , who accused them before our God day and night , has been cast down . * And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony , and they did not love their lives to the death . * Therefore rejoice , O heavens , and you who dwell in them ! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea ! For the devil has come down to you , having great wrath , because he knows that he has a short time ." * Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth , he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child . * But the woman was given 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 presence of the serpent . * So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman , that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood . * But the earth helped the woman , and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth . * And the dragon was enraged with the woman , and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring , who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ .
