Revelation 12:1-4
1A great 1sign appeared 2in heaven: 3a woman 4clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
2and she was pregnant and she 5cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.
3Then 6another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red 7dragon having 8seven heads and 9ten horns, and on his heads were 10seven crowns.
4And his tail swept away a 11third of the stars of heaven and 12hurled them to the earth. And the 13dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth 14he might devour her Child.
