stray the whole world; he was cast down to
the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.

(10)And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: Now is come the
salvation, and the strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren is cast
down, who accused 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 loved not their life, unto the
death. (12)For this cause rejoice, ye heavens, and they who dwell in
them. Woe to the earth and the sea! For the Devil is come down to you,
having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.

(13)And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he
persecuted the woman who brought forth the man-child. (14)And there
were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

(15)And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the
woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.
(16)And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

(17)And the dragon was enraged at the woman; and he departed to make
war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and
have the testimony of Jesus.

(2)(and the beast which I saw was like to a leopard, and his feet as

to him his power, and his throne, and great authority;) (3)and one of
his heads as it were wounded unto death. And his deadly wound was
healed; and all the world wondered after the beast. (4)And they
worshiped the dragon, because he gave the authority to the beast; and
they worshiped the beast, saying: Who is like to the beast, and who is
able to make war with him?

(5)And there was given to him a mouth speaking great and blasphemous
things; and power was given him to work forty-two months. (6)And he
opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, those who tabernacle in heaven. (7)And it was
