Revelation 12 📜 📕 ↷
Woman and the Dragon
1 AND a great sign appeared in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, & on her head a crown of twelve stars:📜💬📚
2 and being with child, she cried also travailing, and is in anguish to be delivered.📜💬📚
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven, and behold a great red dragon having seven heads, & ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems,📜💬📚
4 and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered; that when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.📜💬📚
5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to govern all nations in an iron rod; & her son was taken up to God and to his throne,📜💬📚
6 & the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared of God, that there, they might feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.📜💬📚
War in Heaven
7 And there was made a great battle in heaven, Michael and his Angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his Angels:📜💬📚
8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven.📜💬📚
9 And that great dragon was cast forth, the old serpent, which is called the devil and Satan, which seduceth the whole world: and he was cast into the earth, & his Angels were thrown down with him.📜💬📚
10 And I heard a great voice in heaven saying: Now is there made salvation and force, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before the sight of 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 even unto death.📜💬📚
12 Therefore rejoice, o heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth & to the sea, because the devil is descended to you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath a little time.📜💬📚
Woman Persecuted
13 And after the dragon saw that he was thrown into the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man-child:📜💬📚
14 and there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the desert unto her place, where she is nourished for a time & times, & half a time, from the face of the serpent.📜💬📚
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman, water as it were a flood: that he might make her to be carried away with the flood.📜💬📚
16 And the earth holp 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 angry against the woman: and went to make battle with the rest of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of JESUS Christ.📜💬📚
