The Angel, Michael

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, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 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.”

  2. Revelation 12:11 Lit to the point of death

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
