“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.” |
