    1The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon Then a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.

    2She was pregnant and was screaming in labor pains, struggling to give birth.

    3Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns.

    6and she fled into the wilderness where a place had been prepared for her by God, so she could be taken care of for 1,260 days.
