The Woman, Israel

¹ A great ^(C1)sign appeared ^(C2)in heaven: ^(C3)a woman ^(C4)clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;² and she was pregnant and she ^(*)(C1)cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

The Red Dragon, Satan

The Male Child, Christ

The Angel, Michael

⁷ And there was war in heaven, ^(C1)Michael and his angels waging war with the ^(C2)dragon. The dragon and ^(C3)his angels waged war,⁸ and they did not prevail, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.⁹ And the great ^(C1)dragon was thrown down, the ^(C2)serpent of old who is called the devil and ^(C3)Satan, who ^(C4)deceives the whole ^(F1)world; he was ^(C5)thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

¹⁰ Then I heard ^(C1)a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the ^(C2)salvation, and the power, and the ^(C1)kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the ^(C3)accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.¹¹ "And they ^(C1)overcame him because of ^(C2)the blood of the Lamb and because of ^(C3)the word of their testimony, and they ^(C4)did not love their life even ^(F1)when faced with death.¹² "For this reason, ^(C1)rejoice, you heavens and ^(C2)you who dwell in them. ^(C3)Woe to the earth and the sea, because ^(C4)the devil has come down to you with great wrath, knowing that he has only ^(C5)a short time."

¹³ And when the ^(C1)dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted ^(C2)the woman who gave birth to the male Child.¹⁴ But the ^(C1)two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly ^(C2)into the wilderness to her place, where she ^(*)was nourished for ^(C3)a time, times, and half a time, away from the presence of the serpent.¹⁵ And the ^(C1)serpent hurled water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood.^16 (F1)But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon had hurled out of his mouth.¹⁷ So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to ^(C1)make war with the rest of her ^(F1)(C2)children, who ^(C3)keep the commandments of God and ^(C4)hold to the testimony of Jesus.
