6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she * had a place prepared by God, so that there 1she would be nourished for aone thousand two hundred and sixty days.

The Angel, Michael

7 And there was war in heaven, aMichael and his angels waging war with the bdragon. The dragon and chis angels waged war,

8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

9 And the great adragon was thrown down, the bserpent of old who is called the devil and cSatan, who ddeceives the whole 1world; he was ethrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

10 Then I heard aa loud voice in heaven, saying,

“Now the bsalvation, and the power, and the akingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the caccuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

11 “And they aovercame him because of bthe blood of the Lamb and because of cthe word of their testimony, and they ddid not love their life even 1when faced with death.

12 “For this reason, arejoice, O heavens and byou who 1dwell in them. cWoe to the earth and the sea, because dthe devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only ea short time.”
