The Cosmic Conflict: The Woman, the Dragon, and the Male Child

Revelation 12:1-13:1

12
Chapter 12
1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 and pregnant. She was crying out in labor, in pain to give birth. 3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great fiery dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven royal crowns on his heads. 4 His tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth to her child he might devour it. 5 She bore a son, a male child, who will shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that they might feed her there for one thousand two hundred sixty days. 7 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels. 8 And they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and the Satan, the one deceiving the whole inhabited world—was thrown to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 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, because the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night." 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their soul unto death. 12 Because of this, rejoice, O heavens and those who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you with great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that it had been thrown down to the earth, it persecuted the woman who had given birth to the male. 14 And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast water from his mouth, behind the woman, water as a river, so that he might make her river-borne. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged at the woman, and he went away to make war with the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus. 18 And it stood upon the sand of the sea.

Chapter 13
1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten diadems, and on its heads names of blasphemy.
