Revelation 11:15-12:6

New International Version

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,^(A) and there were loud voices^(B) in heaven, which said:

“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah,^(C)
and he will reign for ever and ever.”^(D)

¹⁶And the twenty-four elders,^(E) who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces^(F) and worshiped God, ¹⁷saying:

“We give thanks^(G) to you, Lord God Almighty,^(H)
    the One who is and who was,^(I)
because you have taken your great power
    and have begun to reign.^(J)
¹⁸The nations were angry,^(K)
    and your wrath has come.
The time has come for judging the dead,^(L)
    and for rewarding your servants the prophets^(M)
and your people who revere your name,
    both great and small^(N)—
and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

¹⁹Then God’s temple^(O) in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.^(P) And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder,^(Q) an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.^(R)

The Woman and the Dragon

12 A great sign^(S) appeared in heaven:^(T) a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars^(U) on her head. ²She was pregnant and cried out in pain^(V) as she was about to give birth. ³Then another sign appeared in heaven:^(W) an enormous red dragon^(X) with seven heads^(Y) and ten horns^(Z) and seven crowns^(AA) on its heads. ⁴Its tail swept a third^(AB) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.^(AC) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child^(AD) the moment he was born. ⁵She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”^[a]^(AE) And her child was snatched up^(AF) to God and to his throne. ⁶The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.^(AG)
