Revelation 12:1-8 (Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
1
And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
2
she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
3
And another portent appeared in heaven; behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.
4
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth;
5
she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,
6
and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7
Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8
but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
