REVELATION ยท Chapter 12
12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with
the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars:
12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained
to be delivered.
12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great
red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his
heads.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did
cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was
ready to be delivered, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.
12:5 And she brought forth a male child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place
prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred
and threescore days.
12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against
the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
12:8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now has come salvation,
and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before
our God day and night.
12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the
death.
12:12 Therefore rejoice, all of you heavens, and all of you that dwell
in them. Woe to the citizens of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
has come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has
but a short time.
12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the male child.
12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that
she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after
the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
12:17 And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have
the testimony of Jesus Christ.
