1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

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

2 She was pregnant and cried out in labor, in the agony of giving birth.

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: a large fiery red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on its heads.

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.

4 Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.

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.

5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched up to God and to His throne.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God to be taken care of for 1,260 days.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7 Then there was a war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

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

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

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.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: 'Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Messiah. For the accuser of our siblings, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.'

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.

11 They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

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.

12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in 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.

13 When the dragon saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

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

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, 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 face of the serpent.

15 Then, out of his mouth, the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the flood.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.

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

17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God’s commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

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.

18 And I stood on the sand of the seashore.
