Satan Thrown Down to Earth

Now war arose in heaven, (A)Michael and (B)his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And (C)the great dragon was thrown down, (D)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, (E)the deceiver of the whole world—(F)he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now (G)the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers[a] has been thrown down, (H)who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And (I)they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for (J)they loved not their lives (K)even unto death. 12 Therefore, (L)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But (M)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because (N)he knows that his time is short!”

  1. Revelation 12:10 Or brothers and sisters

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(A) and his angels fought against the dragon,(B) and the dragon and his angels(C) fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(D) called the devil,(E) or Satan,(F) who leads the whole world astray.(G) He was hurled to the earth,(H) and his angels with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(I) say:

“Now have come the salvation(J) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(K)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(L) him
    by the blood of the Lamb(M)
    and by the word of their testimony;(N)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.(O)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(P)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe(Q) to the earth and the sea,(R)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”
