Revelation 12:7-12

English Standard Version

Satan Thrown Down to Earth

⁷Now war arose in heaven, ^(A)Michael and ^(B)his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, ⁸but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. ⁹And ^(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. ¹⁰And 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. ¹¹And ^(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. ¹²Therefore, ^(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!”
