And his tail was pulling a third part of the stars of heaven down to the earth, and the dragon took his place before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when the birth had taken place he might put an end to her child.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war,
8 They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.
And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven.

10 I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

12 Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”
Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time.
13 When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
