shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, [1] small and great; [2] and shouldest destroy them which ‖‖ Or, corrupt. destroy the earth.
19 And [3] the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and [4] there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, [5] and great hail.
CHAP.XII.
AND there appeared a great ‖‖ Or, sign. wonder in Heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, [6] travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another ‖‖ Or, sign. wonder in Heaven; and behold [7] a great red dragon, [8] having seven heads and ten horns, [9] and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And [10] his tail drew the third part [11] of the stars of heaven, [12] and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood [13] before the woman which was ready to be delivered, [14] for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought forth a man child, [15] who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
6 And [16] the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there [17] a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
7 And there was war in heaven: [18] Michael and his angels fought [19] against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And [20] the great dragon was cast out, [21] that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, [22] which deceiveth the whole world: [23] he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, [24] Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, [25] which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And [26] they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; [27] and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore [28] rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. [29] Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, [30] because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted [31] the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 [32] And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, [33] that she might fly [34] into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished [35] for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent [36] 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 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 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, [37] and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, [38] which keep the commandments of God, and have [39] the testimony of Jesus Christ.
CHAP.XIII.
AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw [40] a beast rise up out of the sea, [41] having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the ‖‖ Or, names. name of blasphemy.
2 [42] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, [43] and his feet were as the feet of a bear, [44] and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and [45] the dragon gave him his power, [46] and his seat, [47] and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads [48] as it were †† Gr. slain. wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and [49] all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, [50] Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him [51] a mouth speaking great things and blasphe-
