5 She bore a male Child ^awho was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was ^bcaught up to God and His throne.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

7 And war broke out in heaven: ^aMichael and his angels fought ^bwith the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

8 but they¹ did not prevail, nor was a place found for² them in heaven any longer.

9 So ^athe great dragon was cast out, ^bthat serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, ^cwho deceives the whole world; ^dhe was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
