And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5 T hen the woman gave birth to a son. He is to be the leader of the world using a piece of iron. But this child was taken away to God and His throne.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6 T he woman ran away into the desert. God had made the place ready for her. He will care for her there 1, 260 days. War in Heaven

8 B ut the dragon was not strong enough to win. There was no more room in heaven for them.

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

9 T he dragon was thrown down to earth from heaven. This animal is the old snake. He is also called the Devil or Satan. He is the one who has fooled the whole world. He was thrown down to earth and his angels were thrown down with him.

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 T hen I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now God has saved from the punishment of sin! God’s power as King has come! God’s holy nation has come! God’s Christ is here with power! The one who spoke against our Christian brothers has been thrown down to earth. He stood before God speaking against them day and night.

11 T hey had power over him and won because of the blood of the Lamb and by telling what He had done for them. They did not love their lives but were willing to die.

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 F or this reason, O heavens and you who are there, be full of joy. It is bad for you, O earth and sea. For the devil has come down to you. He is very angry because he knows he has only a short time.” War on Earth

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.

13 W hen the dragon which is the devil saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he began to hunt for the woman who had given birth to the boy baby.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14 T he woman was given two wings like the wings of a very large bird so she could fly to her place in the desert. She was to be cared for there and kept safe from the snake, which is the devil, for three-and one-half years.

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 T hen the snake spit water from his mouth so the woman might be carried away with a flood.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 T he earth helped the woman by opening its mouth. It drank in the flood of water that this dragon spit from his mouth.

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 T his dragon was very angry with the woman. He went off to fight with the rest of her children. They are the ones who obey the Laws of God and are faithful to the teachings of Jesus.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
