Revelation 12:4-9

New International Version

⁴ Its tail swept a third^(A) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.^(B) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child^(C) the moment he was born. ⁵ She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”^[a](D) And her child was snatched up^(E) to God and to his throne. ⁶ The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.^(F)

⁷ Then war broke out in heaven. Michael^(G) and his angels fought against the dragon,^(H) and the dragon and his angels^(I) fought back. ⁸ But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. ⁹ The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent^(J) called the devil,^(K) or Satan,^(L) who leads the whole world astray.^(M) He was hurled to the earth,^(N) and his angels with him.
