    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.

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

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

    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.

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

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

    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.'

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters.'

    2 With her, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.

    3 Then he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

    4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her immorality.

    5 On her forehead was written a name: 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.'

    6 I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I was utterly amazed.

    7 Then the angel said to me, 'Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.'

    8 The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they see the beast, because it was, is not, and yet is.
