1 Or, sign. 1611 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven, and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads, and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his Throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand, two hundred, and threescore days. 7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his Angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their Testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them; Woe to the inhabiters of the earth, and of the sea: for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. 13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great Eagle, that she might flee into the wilderness into her place, 1881 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven; and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads 4 seven diadems. And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was about to be delivered, that when she was delivered, he might devour her 5 child. And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, 6 and unto his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 7 1 Gr. in earth. 2 Or, Now is And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in 9 heaven. And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole 1 world; he was cast down to the earth, habited and his angels were cast down 10 with him. And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, 2 Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accuseth them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their 12 life even unto death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that 8 dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time. 11 the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, become our God's, and the authority is become his Christ's 3 Gr. tabernacle.

Who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth, speaking great things and blasphemies, and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his Name, and his Tabernacle, and them that dwelt in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the Saints, and to overcome them: And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth, shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 15 16 1881 where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Let him that hath understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is, six hundred threescore and six. 14 And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's Name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and 1881 9 If any man hath an ear, let 10 him hear. If any man 2is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill this with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 14 And I saw another beast com 1 The Greek text in verse is somewhat uncertain. 2 Or, leadeth tivity 3 Some ancient 11 ing up out of the earth; and into caphe had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose 13 death-stroke was healed. And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, who hath the stroke 15 of the sword, and lived. And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast 16 should be killed. And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given thema mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is 4Six hundred and sixty and six. 14 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and 17 authorities read that even the beast image of the should speak; and he shall cause &c. 4 Some ancient authori Six hundred and sixteen. ties read |
