Then war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels going to war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought,

Another symbol was seen in heaven -- there was a huge dragon, red as fire, with seven heads and ten horns, with seven diadems on his heads.

His tail was dragging after it a third part of the stars of heaven and dashed them down upon the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth to a child, in order to devour her child as soon as it was born.

So the huge dragon, the ancient serpent, called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world, was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.

When the dragon saw that he had been hurled down to the earth, he started persecuting the woman who had given birth to the male child.

But the earth helped the woman, for it opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon made to spout from his mouth.

So the dragon was enraged against the woman, and he went off to make war with the rest of her descendants, who continue to keep God's commands and to bear testimony to Jesus.

The wild beast which I saw was like a leopard, but his feet were like a bear's, and his mouth was like a lion's mouth. To him the dragon gave his own power and throne with great authority.

and worshiped the dragon for giving the wild beast his authority; they also worshiped the wild beast, and said, "Who is there like the wild beast? Who is there to make war on him?"

Then I saw another wild beast coming up out of the land. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.

Then I saw three foul spirits leap like frogs from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the wild beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet.

He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
