Revelation 12:13-17
New King James Version
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted (A)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 (B)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, (C)that she might fly (D)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished (E)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent (F)spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [a]Christ.
