Revelation 12:13-18 - The Woman Persecuted

13 when the Dragon saw that he was hurled down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But to the woman were given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly to her place in the wilderness, where she is being tended for 'one year, and for two years, and for half a year' in safety from the Serpent. 15 Then the Serpent poured water from its mouth after the woman, like a river, so that it might sweep her away. 16 But Earth came to her help, and opened her mouth and drank up the river which the Dragon had poured out of its mouth. 17 The Dragon was enraged at the woman, and went to fight with the rest of her offspring-- those who lay to heart the commands of God and bear their testimony to Jesus; and he took his stand on the sea-shore.
