^6 (A)Now there was a day when the ^[a](B)sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and ^[b]Satan also came among them.

The Woman, Israel

12 A great ^(A)sign appeared ^(B)in heaven: ^(C)a woman ^(D)clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; ² and she was pregnant and she *^(E)cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

The Red Dragon, Satan

³ Then ^(F)another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red ^(G)dragon having ^(H)seven heads and ^(I)ten horns, and on his heads were ^(J)seven crowns. ⁴ And his tail *swept away a ^(K)third of the stars of heaven and ^(L)hurled them to the earth. And the ^(M)dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth ^(N)he might devour her Child.

The Male Child, Christ

⁵ And ^(O)she gave birth to a Son, a male, who is going to ^[a](P)rule all the ^[b]nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was ^(Q)caught up to God and to His throne. ⁶ Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there ^[c]she would be nourished for ^(R)1,260 days.

The Angel, Michael

⁷ And there was war in heaven, ^(S)Michael and his angels waging war with the ^(T)dragon. The dragon and ^(U)his angels waged war, ⁸ and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. ⁹ And the great ^(V)dragon was thrown down, the ^(W)serpent of old who is called the devil and ^(X)Satan, who ^(Y)deceives the whole ^[d]world; he was ^(Z)thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰ Then I heard ^(AA)a loud voice in heaven, saying,

“Now the ^(AB)salvation, and the power, and the ^(AC)kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the ^(AD)accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.

²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man ^(A)casts out demons only by ^[a]Beelzebul the ruler of the demons.”

²² “I will rise up against them,” declares the Lord of armies, “and eliminate from Babylon ^(A)name and survivors, ^(B)offspring and descendants,” declares the Lord. ²³ “I will also make it the property of the ^(C)hedgehog and swamps of water, and I will sweep it away with the broom of ^(D)destruction,” declares the Lord of armies.

³ And ^(A)the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the ^(B)Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

^31 (A)Now judgment is upon this world; now ^(B)the ruler of this world will be cast out.

³⁰ I will not speak much more with you, for ^(A)the ruler of the world is coming, and he has ^[a]nothing in regard to Me,
