Revelation 12:7-18
New Living Translation
7 Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. 8 And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. 9 This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.
10 Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,
“It has come at last—
salvation and power
and the Kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ.[a]
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters[b]
has been thrown down to earth—
the one who accuses them
before our God day and night.
11 And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb
and by their testimony.
And they did not love their lives so much
that they were afraid to die.
12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens!
And you who live in the heavens, rejoice!
But terror will come on the earth and the sea,
for the devil has come down to you in great anger,
knowing that he has little time.”
13 When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon[c] for a time, times, and half a time.
15 Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water that flowed from his mouth. 16 But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon. 17 And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.
18 Then the dragon took his stand[d] on the shore beside the sea.

Revelation 12:7-17
New International Version
7 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. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 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.”
13 When the dragon(S) saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.(T) 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,(U) 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,(V) out of the serpent’s reach. 15 Then from his mouth the serpent(W) 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(X) against the rest of her offspring(Y)—those who keep God’s commands(Z) and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.(AA)
