12 And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven: a woman clothed with the sun. And the moon was under her feet; and upon her head, a crown of twelve stars.

² And she was with child, and cried and was pained, travailing in birth, ready to be delivered.

³ And there appeared another wonder in Heaven: a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads.

⁴ And his tail drew a third of the stars of Heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child when she had brought it forth.

⁵ So she brought forth a man child who should rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was taken up to God and to His throne.

⁶ And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that they would feed her there for 1260 days.

⁷ And there was a battle in Heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels.

⁸ But they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven.

⁹ And the great dragon was cast out; that old serpent called the devil and Satan, who deceives all the world. He was cast into the earth. And his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰ Then I heard a loud voice in Heaven, saying, “Now is salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ! For the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our God day and night, is cast down!

¹¹ “But they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by that word of their testimony! And they did not love their lives unto the death!

¹² Therefore, rejoice, you heavens! And you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, and of the sea! For the devil has come down to you - who has great wrath - knowing that he has but a short time.”

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the man child.

¹⁴ But to the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness; into her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

¹⁵ And the serpent cast water after the woman - out of his mouth, like a flood - so that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood,

¹⁶ But the earth helped the woman. And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.

¹⁷ Then the dragon was angry with the woman and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ And I stood on the sea sand.
