Eph6-12 Plus
For our struggle
is not against
flesh
and blood,
but against
the rulers,
against
the powers,
against
the world
forces
of this
darkness,
against
the spiritual
forces of wickedness
in the heavenly
places.

1 Then a great sign appeared in heaven. There was a woman who had the sun wrapped around her, the moon was under her feet, on her head was a crown of twelve stars, 2 and she was pregnant. She was screaming to give birth in labor and agony.
3 Then another sign appeared in heaven. {Look!} There was a huge fire-red dragon with seven heads and ten horns. On its heads were seven royal turbans. 4 It was dragging a third of the stars of heaven with its tail, and it threw them down to the earth. This dragon was standing in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so when she had her baby he could eat it.
5 Then she gave birth to a son, a male, who is going to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away to God and to His throne. 6 Then the woman escaped into the desert to a place that God had prepared for her, where she would be fed for a thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 Next, war broke out in heaven. Michael and his messengers went to war with the dragon, and the dragon and his messengers fought back; 8 but he lost and could no longer stay in heaven. 9 So, the huge dragon was thrown out. He is the first snake, the one who is called the Slanderer and Opposer, who is leading the whole earth astray. He was thrown down to the earth along with his messengers.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say, ‘This is the moment when the salvation, the power, the Kingdom of our God, and the authorization of his Anointed One begins. Because the one who has been accusing our brothers has been thrown down… the one who has been complaining about them day and night in front of our God! 11 They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, by the things they said while they were testifying, and because they didn’t value their lives even in the face of death. 12 This is why the heavens and those who live there should be joyful! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the Slanderer has come down to you in a rage, knowing that he only has a short time left.’
13 Now, when the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he started persecuting the woman who gave birth to the male (child). 14 However, the woman was given the two wings of a huge eagle so she could fly to her place in the desert where she’s fed for a time, times, and half a time, and where the snake can’t reach her.
15 Then this snake shot a river of water out of its mouth after the woman and tried to drown her. 16 But the earth came to the woman’s aid. The ground opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon shot out of its mouth. 17 This made the dragon so angry with the woman that he went off to battle against the rest of her seed – those who obey God’s instructions and carry the testimony of Jesus. 18 Then [the dragon] stood still on the sands of the sea.
