clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and

and pained to be delivered. |
| 12:3 |
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten
horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. |
| 12:4 |
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon
stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour her child as soon as it was born. |

all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught
up unto God, and to his throne. |

hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her
there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. |

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
more in heaven. |
| 12:9 |
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels
were cast out with him. |

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is
come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God,
and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God
day and night. |

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their
lives unto the death. |

them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. |

her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon
cast out of his mouth. |
| 12:17 |
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ. |
