Revelation 12:1-11
1A greatG3173 1signG4592 appearedG3708 2in heavenG3772: 3a womanG1135 4clothedG4016 with the sunG2246, and the moonG4582 underG5270 her feetG4228, and on her headG2776 a crownG4735 of twelveG1427 starsG792; 2and she was pregnantG1722G1064 and she 5criedG2896 outG2896, beingG5605 inG5605 laborG5605 and in painG928 to giveG5088 birthG5088. 3ThenG2532 6anotherG243 signG4592 appearedG3708 in heavenG3772: and beholdG2400, a greatG3173 redG4450 7dragonG1404 havingG2192 8sevenG2033 headsG2776 and 9tenG1176 hornsG2768, and on his headsG2776 were 10sevenG2033 crownsG1238. 4And his tailG3769 sweptG4951 awayG4951 a 11thirdG5154 of the starsG792 of heavenG3772 and 12hurledG906 them to the earthG1093. And the 13dragonG1404 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 the womanG1135 who wasG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 giveG5088 birthG5088, soG2443 thatG2443 whenG3752 she gaveG5088 birthG5088 14he might devourG2719 her ChildG5043. 5And 15she gaveG5088 birthG5088 to a SonG5207, a maleG733, whoG3739 isG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 1617ruleG4165 allG3956 the 18nationsG1484 with a rodG4464 of ironG4603; and her ChildG5043 was 19caughtG726 up to GodG2316 and to His throneG2362. 6ThenG2532 the womanG1135 fledG5343 into the wildernessG2048 whereG3699 she hadG2192 a placeG5117 preparedG2090 by GodG2316, soG2443 thatG2443 thereG1563 20she would be nourishedG5142 for 211,260G5507G1250G1835 daysG2250.
7And there was warG4171 in heavenG3772, 22MichaelG3413 and his angelsG32 wagingG4170 warG4171 with the 23dragonG1404. The dragonG1404 and 24his angelsG32 wagedG4170 warG4171, 8and they did not prevailG2480, and there was noG3761 longerG2089 a placeG5117 foundG2147 for them in heavenG3772. 9And the greatG3173 25dragonG1404 was thrownG906 down, the 26serpentG3789 of oldG744 who is calledG2564 the devilG1228 and 27SatanG4567, who 28deceivesG4105 the wholeG3650 29worldG3625; he was 30thrownG906 down to the earthG1093, and his angelsG32 were thrownG906 down with him. 10ThenG2532 I heardG191 31a loudG3173 voiceG5456 in heavenG3772, sayingG3004,
“NowG737 the 32salvationG4991, and the powerG1411, and the 33kingdomG932 of our GodG2316 and the authorityG1849 of His ChristG5547 have comeG1096, for the 34accuserG2725 of our brothersG80 and sisters has been thrownG906 down, the one who accusesG2723 them beforeG1799 our GodG2316 dayG2250 and nightG3571. 11And they 35overcameG3528 him becauseG1223 of 36the bloodG129 of the LambG721 and becauseG1223 of 37the wordG3056 of their testimonyG3141, and they 38did not loveG25 their lifeG5590 even 39whenG891 facedG891 withG891 deathG2288.
