Revelation 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:

2.  And she being * with child cried * , travailing in birth * , and pained * to be delivered * .

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.

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 * , for to devour * her child as soon as it was born * .

5.  And she brought forth * a man child, who was * to rule * all nations with a rod of iron:and her child was caught up * unto God, and to his throne.

6.  And the woman fled * into the wilderness, where she hath * a place prepared * of God, that they should feed * her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7.  And there was * war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought * against the dragon; and the dragon fought * and his angels,

8.  And prevailed * not; neither was their place found * any more in heaven.

9.  And the great dragon was cast out * , that old serpent, called * the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth * the whole world: he was cast out * into the earth, and his angels were cast out * with him.

10.  And I heard * a loud voice saying * in heaven, Now is 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.

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.  Therefore rejoice * , ye heavens, and ye that dwell * in them. Woe to the inhabiters * of the earth and of the sea ! for the devil is come down * unto you, having * great wrath, because he knoweth * that he hath * but a short time.

13.  And when the dragon saw * that he was cast * unto the earth, he persecuted * the woman which brought forth * the man child.

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.

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.

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.

17.  And the dragon was wroth * 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.
