Revelation 12:7-17

New American Standard Bible

The Angel, Michael

⁷ And there was war in heaven, ^(A)Michael and his angels waging war with the ^(B)dragon. The dragon and ^(C)his angels waged war, ⁸ and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. ⁹ And the great ^(D)dragon was thrown down, the ^(E)serpent of old who is called the devil and ^(F)Satan, who ^(G)deceives the whole ^[a]world; he was ^(H)thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. ¹⁰ Then I heard ^(I)a loud voice in heaven, saying,

“Now the ^(J)salvation, and the power, and the ^(K)kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the ^(L)accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they ^(M)overcame him because of ^(N)the blood of the Lamb and because of ^(O)the word of their testimony, and they ^(P)did not love their life even ^[b]when faced with death. ¹² For this reason, ^(Q)rejoice, you heavens and ^(R)you who dwell in them. ^(S)Woe to the earth and the sea, because ^(T)the devil has come down to you with great wrath, knowing that he has only ^(U)a short time.”

¹³ And when the ^(V)dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted ^(W)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. ¹⁴ But the ^(X)two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly ^(Y)into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for ^(Z)a time, times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent. ¹⁵ And the ^(AA)serpent hurled water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. ^16 [c]But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon had hurled out of his mouth. ¹⁷ So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to ^(AB)make war with the rest of her ^[d](AC)children, who ^(AD)keep the commandments of God and ^(AE)hold to the testimony of Jesus.
