Revelation 12:13-17

And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued   the woman who had given birth to the male child.    But the woman was given the two   wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent   into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished   for a time, and times, and half a time.    The serpent poured water   like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood.    But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.    Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off   to make war on the rest of   her offspring,   on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to   the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea. Satan’s furry over being cast out of heaven motivates him to make a concerted attack on Israel....

Revelation 12:7-12

Now war arose in heaven,   Michael and   his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.    And   the great dragon was thrown down,   that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan,   the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.    And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now   the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down,   who accuses them day and night before our God.  And   they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for   they loved not their lives   even unto death.    Therefore,   rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But   woe to you, O earth and ...

Revelation 12:1-6

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman   clothed with   the sun, with   the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.    She was pregnant and   was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.    And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great   red dragon,   with seven heads and   ten horns, and on his heads   seven diadems.    His tail swept down   a third of the stars of heaven and   cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child   he might devour it.    She gave birth to a male child,   one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was   caught up to God and to his throne,   and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for   1,260 days. This vision gives an overview...

Revelation 11:15-19

Then   the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and   there were loud voices in heaven, saying,   “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of   his Christ, and   he shall reign forever and ever.”    And the twenty-four elders   who sit on their thrones before God   fell on their faces and worshiped God,   saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,   who is and who was,   for you have taken your great power   and   begun to reign.    The nations raged,   but   your wrath came,   and   the time for the dead to be judged,   and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints,   and   those who fear your name,   both small and great,   and   for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” Then   God's temple in heaven was opened, and   the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumbl...

Revelation 11:1-14

Then I was given   a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there,   but do not measure   the court outside the temple; leave that out, for   it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for   forty-two months.  And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for   1,260 days,   clothed in sackcloth.”   These are   the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.    And if anyone would harm them,   fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them,   this is how he is doomed to be killed.    They have the power   to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and   to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as o...

Revelation 10:1-11

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with   a rainbow over his head, and   his face was like the sun, and   his legs like pillars of fire.    He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,   and called out with a loud voice,   like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded.    And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying,   “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”    And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land   raised his right hand to heaven   and swore by   him who lives forever and ever,   who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay,   but that   in the days of the trumpet call to be ...

Revelation 9:13-21

Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from   the four horns of the golden altar before God,   saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release   the four angels who are bound at   the great river Euphrates.”    So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released   to kill a third of mankind.    The number of   mounted troops was   twice ten thousand times ten thousand;   I heard their number.    And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphir e  and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were   like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.    By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.    For the power of the horses is in their mouths...
