THE WOMAN IS PROTECTED BY GOD

 

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)
