- 7 And there was war in heaven:
- Michael and his angels fought 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 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 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
- 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,
- which accused them before our God day and night.
- 11 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 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 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth,
- he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
- 14 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 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 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,
- and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
- which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The Jews now have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
