Rev 12:12-18

12Therefore, rejoice, you heavens,

and you who dwell in them.

But woe to you, earth and sea,

for the Devil has come down to you in great fury,

for he knows he has but a short time.”

13When the dragon saw that it had been thrown down to the earth, it pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.^f 14But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle,^* so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where, far from the serpent, she was taken care of for a year, two years, and a half-year.^g 15The serpent,^* however, spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current. 16But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the dragon spewed out of its mouth. 17Then the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus.^*h 18It took its position^* on the sand of the sea.
