It had seven heads and ten horns, a crown on each of the seven heads.G2532G3700G243G4592G1722G3772G2532G2400G3173G4450G1404G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G2768G2532G2033G1238G1909G846G27764With one flick of its tail it knocked a third of the Stars from the sky and dumped them on earth. The Dragon crouched before the Woman in childbirth, poised to eat up the Child when it came.G2532G846G3769G4951G5154G792G3772G2532G906G846G1519G1093G2532G1404G2476G1799G1135G3588G3195G5088G2443G2719G846G5043G3752G50885The Woman gave birth to a Son who will shepherd all nations with an iron rod.

Michael and his Angels fought the Dragon. The Dragon and his Angels fought back,G2532G1096G4171G1722G3772G3413G2532G846G32G4170G2596G1404G2532G1404G4170G2532G846G328but were no match for Michael. They were cleared out of Heaven, not a sign of them left.G2532G2480G3756G3777G2147G846G5117G2147G2089G1722G37729The great Dragon—ancient Serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, the one who led the whole earth astray—thrown out, and all his Angels thrown out with him, thrown down to earth.G2532G3173G1404G906G744G3789G2564G1228G2532G4567G3588G4105G3650G3625G906G1519G1093G2532G846G32G906G3326G84610Then I heard a strong voice out of Heaven saying, Salvation and power are established! Kingdom of our God, authority of his Messiah! The Accuser of our brothers and sisters thrown out, who accused them day and night before God.G2532G191G3173G5456G3004G1722G3772G737G1096G4991G2532G1411G2532G932G2257G2316G2532G1849G846G5547G3754G2723G2257G80G2598G3588G2725G846G1799G2257G2316G2250G2532G357111They defeated him through the blood of the Lamb and the bold word of their witness. They weren't in love with themselves; they were willing to die for Christ.G2532G846G3528G846G1223G129G721G2532G1223G3056G846G3141G2532G25G3756G846G5590G891G228812So rejoice, O Heavens, and all who live there, but doom to earth and sea, For the Devil's come down on you with both feet; he's had a great fall; He's wild and raging with anger; he hasn't much time and he knows it.G1223G5124G2165G3772G2532G4637G1722G846G3759G2730G1093G2532G2281G3754G1228G2597G4314G5209G2192G3173G2372G1492G3754G2192G3641G254013When the Dragon saw he'd been thrown to earth, he went after the Woman who had given birth to the Man-Child.G2532G3753G1404G1492G3754G906G1519G1093G1377G1135G3748G5088G73014The Woman was given wings of a great eagle to fly to a place in the desert to be kept in safety and comfort for a time and times and half a time, safe and sound from the Serpent.G2532G1135G1325G1417G4420G3173G105G2443G4072G1519G2048G1519G846G5117G3699G5142G1563G2540G2532G2540G2532G2255G2540G575G4383G378915The Serpent vomited a river of water to swamp and drown her,G2532G3789G906G1537G846G4750G5204G5613G4215G3694G1135G2443G4160G5026G421616but earth came to her help, swallowing the water the Dragon spewed from its mouth.G2532G1093G997G1135G2532G1093G455G846G4750G2532G2666G4215G3739G1404G906G1537G846G475017Helpless with rage, the Dragon raged at the Woman, then went off to make war with the rest of her children, the children who keep God's commands and hold firm to the witness of Jesus.G2532G1404G3710G1909G1135G2532G565G4160G4171G3326G3062G846G4690G3588G5083G1785G2316G2532G2192G3141G2424G5547
