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.
