1 A great asign appeared bin heaven: ca woman dclothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2 and she was with child; and she acried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. 3 Then aanother sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red bdragon having cseven heads and dten horns, and on his heads were eseven diadems. 4 And his tail swept away a athird of the stars of heaven and bthrew them to the earth. And the cdragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth dhe might devour her child. 5 And ashe gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to brule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was ccaught up to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for aone thousand two hundred and sixty days. 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 world; 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, 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 when faced with death. 12 "For this reason, arejoice, O heavens and byou who dwell 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." 13 And when the adragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted bthe woman who gave birth to the male child. 14 But the atwo wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly binto the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for ca time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 And the aserpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to amake war with the rest of her bchildren, who ckeep the commandments of God and dhold to the testimony of Jesus.
