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. |
