REV12:1 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.
REV12:2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
REV12:3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.
REV12:4a Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.
REV12:4b 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.
REV12:5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
REV12:6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
REV12:7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.
