And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon beneath her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And being pregnant she cries out being in labour and being in pain to give birth.
And another sign was seen in heaven, and look, a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven crowns.
And his tail is pulling along a third of the stars of heaven, and he threw them to the earth. And the dragon is standing in front of the woman who is about to give birth, so that when she gives birth he might eat up her child. And she brought forth a son, male, who is going to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught away to God and his throne. And the woman went away into the desert where she has a place prepared by God so that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels made war against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels made war, and they did not prevail, neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown out, the ancient serpent called the Devil and Satan, who misleads the whole world, was thrown into the earth and his angels were thrown out with him.
And I heard a great voice saying in heaven,
“Now has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brethren who accuses them in front of our God day and night, has been thrown down. And they defeated him through the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives even to death.
“Because of this rejoice you heavens and the ones dwelling in them. Woe to those who inhabit the earth and the sea, because the devil has come to you having great anger, knowing that he has a short time.”
And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown into the earth he persecuted the woman who had given birth to the boy. And two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman so that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is fed there a time, and times, and half a time, away from the face of the serpent.
And the serpent cast water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be carried away by a flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river, which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was angry with the woman and went up to make war with the rest of her seed, the ones keeping the commandments of God and having the testimony or Jesus Christ.
