The Male Child, Christ

And (E)she gave birth to a Son, a male, who is going to [a](F)rule all the [b]nations with a rod of iron; and her Child was (G)caught up to God and to His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there [c]she would be nourished for (H)1,260 days.

The Angel, Michael

And there was war in heaven, (I)Michael and his angels waging war with the (J)dragon. The dragon and (K)his angels waged war, and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great (L)dragon was thrown down, the (M)serpent of old who is called the devil and (N)Satan, who (O)deceives the whole [d]world; he was (P)thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
