stars:

2 And she
being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 And there appeared
another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew
the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she brought
forth a man child, 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 the woman fled
into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they
should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
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.
