Revelation 12:3-13:2
English Standard Version
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great (A)red dragon, (B)with seven heads and (C)ten horns, and on his heads (D)seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down (E)a third of the stars of heaven and (F)cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child (G)he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, (H)one who is to rule[a] all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was (I)caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for (J)1,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7 Now war arose in heaven, (K)Michael and (L)his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And (M)the great dragon was thrown down, (N)that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, (O)the deceiver of the whole world—(P)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 (Q)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[b] has been thrown down, (R)who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 And (S)they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for (T)they loved not their lives (U)even unto death. 12 Therefore, (V)rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But (W)woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because (X)he knows that his time is short!”
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued (Y)the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two (Z)wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent (AA)into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished (AB)for a time, and times, and half a time. 15 The serpent poured water (AC)like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17 Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off (AD)to make war on the rest of (AE)her offspring, (AF)on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to (AG)the testimony of Jesus. And he stood[c] on the sand of the sea.
The First Beast
13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, (AH)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and (AI)blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was (AJ)like a leopard; its feet were like (AK)a bear's, and its mouth was like (AL)a lion's mouth. And to it (AM)the dragon gave his power and (AN)his throne and great authority.
