12:1	And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;
12:2	she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery.
12:3	And another portent appeared in heaven;behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems upon his heads.
12:4	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 bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth;
12:5	she brought forth 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,
12:6	and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
12:7	Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon;and the dragon and his angels fought,
12:8	but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
