Part II. 1
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND SATAN
CHAPTER XII
1. And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars:
2. And being with child, she cried travailing in birth and was in pain to be delivered.
3. And there was seen another sign in heaven: and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns: and on his heads seven diadems:
4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered; that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son.
5. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod: and her son was taken up to God and to his throne.
6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her a thousand two hundred sixty days.
7. And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels.
