God’s Word Translation
Revelation 12:3-9
3Another sign appeared in the sky: a huge fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on its heads.
4Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born.
5She gave birth to a son, a boy, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne.
6Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
7Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels had to fight a war with the serpent. The serpent and its angels fought.
8But it was not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
9The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth. Its angels were thrown down with it.
