Revelation:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A great sign appeared in heaven :
a woman clothed with the sun ,
and the moon under her feet ,
and upon her head was a crown with twelve stars .
*
She ,
being with child ,
cried out in labor pains ,
ready to deliver .
*
Another sign appeared in heaven .
It was a great red dragon ,
having seven heads and ten horns ,
and seven crowns upon his heads .
*
His tail swept a third of the stars of heaven ,
and flung them to the earth .
The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered .
He was ready to devour her child as soon as it was born .
*
She gave birth to a male-child ,
who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron .
Her child was caught up to God and to his throne .
*
The woman fled into the wilderness ,
where she has a place prepared by God .
There they feed her a thousand two hundred and sixty days .
*
War broke out in heaven .
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels .
*
The dragon lost and no place in heaven was found for him any longer .
*
The great dragon was thrown down ,
that old serpent ,
called the Devil ,
and Satan ,
who deceives the whole world .
He was hurled down to the earth ,
and his angels with him .
*
I heard a loud voice saying in heaven , "
Now has come the salvation ,
and strength ,
and the kingdom of our God ,
and the power of his Christ :
for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down ,
who accused them before our God day and night .
*
They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb ,
and by the word of their testimony ;
and they did not love their lives when faced with death .
*
Therefore rejoice ,
you heavens ,
and you that dwell in them .
But woe to the earth and the sea !
For the devil has come down to you ,
having fierce anger ,
because he knows that he has only a short time ."
*
When the dragon saw that he was thrown to the earth ,
he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male-child .
*
Two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman ,
that she might fly into the wilderness ,
into her place ,
where she is nourished for a time ,
and times ,
and half a time ,
out of the serpent '
s reach .
*
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 rescued the woman ,
and the earth opened its mouth ,
and swallowed up the flood that the dragon spewed out of his mouth .
*
The dragon was furious with the woman and waged war with the remnant of her seed .
These are the ones who obey the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ .
