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.

¹³ And when the ^(A)dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted ^(B)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. ¹⁴ But the ^(C)two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly ^(D)into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for ^(E)a time, times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent. ¹⁵ And the ^(F)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 [a]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 ^(G)make war with the rest of her ^[b](H)children, who ^(I)keep the commandments of God and ^(J)hold to the testimony of Jesus.
