Isaiah 27:1
New King James Version
Israel Will Be Restored
27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
(A)Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay (B)the reptile that is in the sea.
Revelation 12:3-13:2
New King James Version
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, (A)a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 (B)His tail drew a third (C)of the stars of heaven (D)and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood (E)before the woman who was ready to give birth, (F)to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child (G)who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was (H)caught up to God and His throne. 6 Then (I)the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there (J)one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: (K)Michael and his angels fought (L)with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. 9 So (M)the great dragon was cast out, (N)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, (O)who deceives the whole world; (P)he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, (Q)“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, (R)who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And (S)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, (T)and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore (U)rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! (V)Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, (W)because he knows that he has a short time.”
The Woman Persecuted
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted (X)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 (Y)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, (Z)that she might fly (AA)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished (AB)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent (AC)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 [c]Christ.
The Beast from the Sea
13 Then [d]I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw (AD)a beast rising up out of the sea, (AE)having [e]seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a (AF)blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The (AG)dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

New International Version
3 Then another sign appeared in heaven:(A) an enormous red dragon(B) with seven heads(C) and ten horns(D) and seven crowns(E) on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third(F) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.(G) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child(H) the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a](I) And her child was snatched up(J) to God and to his throne. 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.(K)
7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(L) and his angels fought against the dragon,(M) and the dragon and his angels(N) fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(O) called the devil,(P) or Satan,(Q) who leads the whole world astray.(R) He was hurled to the earth,(S) and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(T) say:
“Now have come the salvation(U) and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(V)
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(W) him
by the blood of the Lamb(X)
and by the word of their testimony;(Y)
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.(Z)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(AA)
and you who dwell in them!
But woe(AB) to the earth and the sea,(AC)
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.”
13 When the dragon(AD) saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.(AE) 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,(AF) so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time,(AG) out of the serpent’s reach. 15 Then from his mouth the serpent(AH) spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war(AI) against the rest of her offspring(AJ)—those who keep God’s commands(AK) and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.(AL)
The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon[b] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea.(AM) It had ten horns and seven heads,(AN) with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.(AO) 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard,(AP) but had feet like those of a bear(AQ) and a mouth like that of a lion.(AR) The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.(AS)
