12Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. ²Then being with child, she cried out ^ain labor and in pain to give birth.

³And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, ^ba great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. ⁴^cHis tail drew a third ^dof the stars of heaven ^eand threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood ^fbefore the woman who was ready to give birth, ^gto devour her Child as soon as it was born. ⁵She bore a male Child ^hwho was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was ⁱcaught up to God and His throne. ⁶Then ^jthe woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there ^kone thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

⁷And war broke out in heaven: ^lMichael and his angels fought ^mwith the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, ⁸but they ¹did not prevail, nor was a place found for ²them in heaven any longer. ⁹So ⁿthe great dragon was cast out, ^othat serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ^pwho deceives the whole world; ^qhe was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ^r“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, ^swho accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
