1AndG2532 there appearedG3708 a greatG3173 wonderG4592 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772; a womanG1135 clothed withG4016 the sunG3588G2246, andG2532 the moonG3588G4582 underG5270 herG846 feetG3588G4228, andG2532 uponG1909 herG846 headG3588G2776 a crownG4735 of twelveG1427 starsG792: 2AndG2532 she beingG2192 withG1722 childG1064 criedG2896, travailing in birthG5605, andG2532 painedG928 to be deliveredG5088.
3AndG2532 there appearedG3708 anotherG243 wonderG4592 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772; andG2532 beholdG3708 a greatG3173 redG4450 dragonG1404, havingG2192 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 sevenG2033 crownsG1238 uponG1909 hisG846 headsG3588G2776. 4AndG2532 hisG846 tailG3588G3769 drewG4951 the third partG3588G5154 of the starsG3588G792 of heavenG3588G3772, andG2532 did castG906 themG846 toG1519 the earthG3588G1093: andG2532 the dragonG3588G1404 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 the womanG3588G1135 which was readyG3588G3195 to be deliveredG5088, forG2443 to devourG2719 herG846 childG3588G5043 as soon asG3752 it was bornG5088.
5AndG2532 she brought forthG5088 a manG730 childG5207, whoG3739 was toG3195 ruleG4165 allG3956 nationsG3588G1484 withG1722 a rodG4464 of ironG4603: andG2532 herG846 childG3588G5043 was caught upG726 untoG4314 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 to hisG846 throneG3588G2362. 6AndG2532 the womanG3588G1135 fledG5343 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she hathG2192 a placeG5117 preparedG2090 ofG575 GodG3588G2316, thatG2443 they should feedG5142 herG846 thereG1563 a thousandG5507 two hundredG1250 and threescoreG1835 daysG2250. 7
AndG2532 there wasG1096 warG4171 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772: MichaelG3413 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG3588G32 foughtG4170 againstG2596 the dragonG3588G1404; andG2532 the dragonG3588G1404 foughtG4170 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG3588G32, 8AndG2532 prevailedG2480 notG3756; neitherG3777 wasG2147 theirG846 placeG5117 foundG2147 any moreG2089 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772. 9AndG2532 the greatG3588G3173 dragonG3588G1404 was cast outG906, that oldG3588G744 serpentG3588G3789, calledG2564 the DevilG3588G1228, andG2532 SatanG3588G4567, which deceivethG3588G4105 the wholeG3650 worldG3588G3625: he was cast outG906 intoG1519 the earthG3588G1093, andG2532 hisG846 angelsG3588G32 were cast outG906 withG3326 himG846.
10AndG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 sayingG3004 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772, NowG737 is comeG1096 salvationG3588G4991, andG2532 strengthG3588G1411, andG2532 the kingdomG3588G932 of ourG1473 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 the authorityG3588G1849 of hisG846 ChristG3588G5547: forG3754 the accuserG3588G2725 of ourG1473 brethrenG3588G80 is cast downG2598, whichG3588 accusedG2723 themG846 beforeG1799 ourG1473 GodG3588G2316 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571. 11AndG2532 theyG846 overcameG3528 himG846 byG1223 the bloodG3588G129 of the LambG3588G721, andG2532 byG1223 the wordG3588G3056 of theirG846 testimonyG3588G3141; andG2532 they lovedG25 notG3756 theirG846 livesG3588G5590 untoG891 the deathG2288. 12ThereforeG1223 rejoiceG2165, ye heavensG3588G3772, andG2532 yeG3588 that dwellG4637 inG1722 themG846. WoeG3759 to the inhabitersG2730 of the earthG3588G1093 andG2532 of the seaG3588G2281! forG3754 the devilG1228 is come downG2597 untoG4314 youG4771, havingG2192 greatG3173 wrathG2372, becauseG3754 he knoweth thatG1492 he hathG2192 but a shortG3641 timeG2540.
13AndG2532 whenG3753 the dragonG3588G1404 sawG3708 thatG3754 he was castG906 untoG1519 the earthG3588G1093, he persecutedG1377 the womanG3588G1135 whichG3748 brought forthG5088 the manG3588G730 child. 14AndG2532 to the womanG3588G1135 were givenG1325 twoG1417 wingsG4420 of a greatG3173 eagleG3588G105, thatG2443 she might flyG4072 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 herG846 placeG3588G5117, whereG3699 she is nourishedG5142 forG1563 a timeG2540, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 halfG2255 a timeG2540, fromG575 the faceG4383 of the serpentG3588G3789. 15AndG2532 the serpentG3588G3789 cast outG906 ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750 waterG5204 asG5613 a floodG4215 afterG3694 the womanG3588G1135, thatG2443 he might causeG4160 herG3778 to be carried away of the floodG4216. 16AndG2532 the earthG3588G1093 helpedG997 the womanG3588G1135, andG2532 the earthG3588G1093 openedG455 herG846 mouthG3588G4750, andG2532 swallowed upG2666 the floodG3588G4215 whichG3739 the dragonG3588G1404 cast outG906 ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750. 17AndG2532 the dragonG3588G1404 was wrothG3710 withG1909 the womanG3588G1135, andG2532 wentG565 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 the remnantG3062 of herG846 seedG3588G4690, whichG3588 keepG5083 the commandmentsG3588G1785 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 haveG2192 the testimonyG3588G3141 of JesusG3588G2424 ChristG5547.
