The Woman and the Dragon

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 vvv vvv She was pregnant [and] crying out in the pain and agony of giving birth.

3 

Then another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon [with] seven heads, ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. 4 His tail swept a third of the stars from [the] sky, hurling them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.

5 

And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.[fn] And her child was caught up to God and to His throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.
