She cried out from labor pains and the agony of giving birth.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Another sign appeared in the sky: a huge fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on its heads. <span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>She gave birth to a son, a boy, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne. <span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels had to fight a war with the serpent. The serpent and its angels fought. <span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But it was not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. <span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth.

The one accusing our brothers and sisters, the one accusing them day and night in the presence of our God, has been thrown out. <span class="reftext"><a href="/revelation/12-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.

So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God's commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus.
