12:10-17:
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "The victory and the power and the
kingdom of our God and the authority (power) of his Christ have now come. These
things have come, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown out. He is
the one who accused our brothers day and night before our God.
11Our brothers defeated him by the blood (death) of the Lamb and by the message
[of God] they told people. They did not love their lives too much. They were not
afraid of death. 12So be happy you heavens and all who live there! But it will be bad for the
earth and sea, because the devil has gone down to you! The devil is filled with
anger. He knows he doesn't have much time."
13The giant snake saw that he had been thrown down to the earth. So he chased
the woman who had given birth to the boy child.
14But the woman was given the two wings of a great eagle. Then she could fly to
the place that was prepared for her in the desert. In that place she would be
taken care of for three and one-half years. There she would be away from the
snake.
15Then the snake poured water out of its mouth like a river. The snake poured
the water toward the woman so that the flood would carry her away.
16But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the
river that came from the mouth of the giant snake.
17Then the snake was very angry at the woman. The snake went away to make war
against all her other children. Her children are those people who obey God's
commands and have the truth that Jesus taught.
18The giant snake stood on the seashore. (ERV)
And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and
the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and
night.
11And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth
and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath,
knowing that he hath but a short time.
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the
woman that brought forth the man (child).
14And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time,
and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that
he might cause her to be carried away by the stream.
16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed
up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17And the dragon waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to make war with the
rest of her seed, that keep the commandments of God, and hold the testimony of
Jesus: (ASV)
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.
11And 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. 12Therefore 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.
13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the
woman which brought forth the man child.
14And 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.
15And 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.
16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17And 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.
