7ThenG2532 a warG4171 broke outG1096 inG1722 heavenG3772: MichaelG3413 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 foughtG4170 againstG3326 theG3588 dragonG1404, andG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 foughtG4170 back. 8But the dragon was not strong enoughG3756G2480, and no longerG3761G2089 was any placeG5117 foundG2147 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG846 him and his angels. 9AndG2532 theG3588 greatG3173 dragonG1404 was hurled downG906—thatG3588 ancientG744 serpentG3789 calledG2564 the devilG1228 andG2532 SatanG4567, theG3588 deceiverG4105 of theG3588 wholeG3650 world. He was hurledG906 toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093, andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 himG846.
10AndG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772 sayingG3004:
13AndG2532 whenG3753 theG3588 dragonG1404 sawG3708 thatG3754 he had been thrownG906 toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093, he pursuedG1377 theG3588 womanG1135 whoG3748 had given birthG5088 to theG3588 maleG730 child. 14But theG3588 womanG1135 was givenG1325 twoG1417 wingsG4420 of aG3588 greatG3173 eagleG105 toG2443 flyG4072 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of theG3588 serpentG3789 toG1519 herG846 placeG5117 inG1519 theG3588 wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she was nourishedG5142 for a timeG2540, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 halfG2255 a timeG2540.
15ThenG2532 fromG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 theG3588 serpentG3789 spewedG906 waterG5204 likeG5613 a riverG4215 to overtakeG3694 theG3588 womanG1135 and sweepG4160 herG846 away in the torrentG4216. 16But theG3588 earthG1093 helpedG997 theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 openedG455 itsG846 mouthG4750 to swallow upG2666 theG3588 riverG4215 thatG3739 theG3588 dragonG1404 had pouredG906 fromG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750. 17AndG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 was enragedG3710 atG1909 theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 wentG565 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 theG3588 restG3062 ofG3588 herG846 childrenG4690, whoG3588 keepG5083 theG3588 commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316 andG2532 hold toG2192 theG3588 testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the dragon stoodG2476 onG1909 theG3588 shoreG285 of theG3588 seaG2281.1
