13 When the Dragon Saw
That he had been Hurled to the Earth,
He Pursued the Woman
Who had Given Birth to the Male Child.
14 The Woman was Given
The Two Wings of a Great Eagle,
So that She Might Fly
TO THE PLACE PREPARED FOR HER
IN THE WILDERNESS,
Where She would be Taken Care Of
FOR A TIME, TIMES AND HALF A TIME,
Out of the Serpent's Reach.
15 Then from is Mouth
The Serpent Spewed Water
Like a River,
To Overtake the Woman
And Sweep her Away with the Torrent.
16 But the Earth Helped the Woman
By Opening its Mouth
And Swallowing the River
That the Dragon
Had Spewed out of his Mouth.
17 Then the Dragon
Was Enraged at the Woman
And Went Off to Wage War
Against the Rest of Her Offspring--
Those who Keep God’s Commands
And Hold Fast
To the Testimony about Jesus.
(Revelation 12:13-17, NIV)
