Revelation 12–13

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman ^aclothed with ^bthe sun, and ^cthe moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of ^dtwelve stars: ²and ^eshe being with child cried, ^ftravailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. ³And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great ^gred ^hdragon, ⁱhaving seven heads and ^ijten horns, and seven ^kcrowns upon his heads. ⁴And his tail ^ldrew ^mthe third part of the stars of heaven, and ⁿdid cast them to the earth: and ^hthe dragon stood before ^othe woman which was ready to be delivered, ^pfor to devour her child as soon as it was born. ⁵And she brought forth a man child, who was to ^qrule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was ^rcaught up unto God, and to his throne. ⁶And ^othe woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there ^sa thousand two hundred and threescore days.

⁷And there was war in heaven: ^tMichael and his angels fought against ^hthe dragon; and the dragon fought and ^uhis angels, ⁸and prevailed not; ^vneither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹And the great ^hdragon ^wwas cast out, ^xthat old ^yserpent, called the devil, and ^zSatan, ^yawhich deceiveth ^bthe whole world: ^che was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come ^dsalvation, and ^ddstrength, and ^ethe kingdom of our God, and the power of ^ehis Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, ^fwhich accused them before our God ^gday and night. ¹¹And ^hthey overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by ⁱthe word of their testimony; and ^kthey loved not their lives unto the death. ¹²Therefore ^lrejoice, ye heavens, and ye that ^mdwell in them. ⁿWoe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for ^othe devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, ^pbecause he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

¹³And when the dragon saw that he was cast ^qunto the earth, he persecuted ^rthe woman which brought forth the man child. ¹⁴And to the woman were given ^stwo wings of a great eagle, ^tthat she might fly ^uinto the wilderness, ^tinto her place, where she is nourished ^vfor a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. ¹⁵And the serpent cast out of his mouth water ^was a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. ¹⁶And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. ¹⁷And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went ^xto make war with the remnant of her seed, ^ywhich keep the commandments of God, and ^zhave ⁱthe testimony of Jesus Christ.

XIII.And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw ^aa beast rise up ^aout of the sea, ^bhaving seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten ^bcrowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. ²And the beast which I saw was ^clike unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of ^da bear, and his mouth as the mouth of ^ea lion: and ^fthe dragon gave him his power, and ^ghis seat, and great ^hauthority. ³And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and ⁱhis deadly wound was healed: and ^kall the world wondered ^lafter the beast. ⁴And they worshipped the dragon which gave ^hpower unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, ^mWho is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? ⁵And there was given unto him ⁿa mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and ^hpower was given unto him to ^ocontinue ^pforty and two months. ⁶And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and ^qthem that dwell in heaven. ⁷And it was given unto him ^rto make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and ^hpower was given him over ^sall kindreds, and tongues, and nations. ⁸And all ^tthat dwell upon the earth shall worship him, ^kwhose names are not written in ^uthe book of life of ^vthe Lamb slain ^wfrom the foundation of the world. ^9xIf any man have an ear, let him hear. ^10yHe that ^zleadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: ^ahe that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. ^bHere is the patience and the faith of the saints.

¹¹And I beheld ^bbanother beast coming up ^cout of the earth; and he had two horns ^dlike a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. ¹²And he exerciseth ^eall the power of the first beast ^fbefore him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein ^ffto worship the first beast, ^gwhose deadly wound was healed. ¹³And ^hhe doeth great ^mwonders, ⁱso that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, ¹⁴and ^hkdeceiveth them that dwell on the earth ^lby the means of those ^mmiracles which he had power to do ^fin the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, ^gwhich had the wound by a sword, and did live. ¹⁵And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not ⁿworship the image of the beast ⁿⁿshould be killed. ¹⁶And he causeth all, both ^osmall and great, rich and poor, ^pfree and bond, to receive ^nqa mark in their right hand, or ^rin their foreheads: ¹⁷and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had ^qthe mark, or the name of the beast, or ^sthe number of his name. ^18tHere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count ^sthe number of the beast: for ^uit is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
