ULT REV Chapter 12

12 And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of 12 stars on her head, 2 and having in the womb, and she cries out, suffering birth pains and being tormented to give birth. 3 And another sign was seen in heaven: and behold, a large red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on his heads. 4 And his tail sweeps away a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them down to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman being about to give birth so that when she gave birth he might devour her child. 5 And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is going to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched away to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God there so that they might nourish her there for 1,260 days.

7 And a war happened in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought them. 8 But he was not strong enough, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent called Diabolos and Satan, the one deceiving the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,

“Now have come the salvation and the power

and the kingdom of our God,

and the authority of his Christ,

because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down,

the one accusing them before our God day and night.

11 And they conquered him through the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,

indeed, they did not love their lives unto death.

12 Therefore, rejoice, heavens,

and the ones tabernacling in them!

Woe to the earth and the sea,

because the devil has gone down to you,

having great anger,

knowing that he has little time!”

13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had borne the male. 14 But two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman so that she might fly to the wilderness, to her place where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time, away from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent poured water like a river out from his mouth after the woman so that he might make her stream-borne. 16 But the earth helped the woman, indeed, the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon poured out from his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war with the rest of her seed, the ones keeping the commandments of God and having the testimony of Jesus. 18 And he stood on the sand of the sea.[fn]

Some manuscripts place this sentence at the beginning of 13:1, but the best manuscripts place it here as 12:18.
