Revelation 12:3-9

3Then 1another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red 2dragon having 3seven heads and 4ten horns, and on his heads were 5seven diadems. 4And his tail swept away a 6third of the stars of heaven and 7threw them to the earth. And the 8dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth 9he might devour her child. 5And 10she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to 1112rule all the 13nations with a rod of iron; and her child was 14caught up to God and to His throne. 6Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there 15she would be nourished for 16one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

7And there was war in heaven, 17Michael and his angels waging war with the 18dragon. The dragon and 19his angels waged war, 8and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 9And the great 20dragon was thrown down, the 21serpent of old who is called the devil and 22Satan, who 23deceives the whole 24world; he was 25thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
