19 And the temple of God
was opened in heaven: and the ark of his testament was seen in his temple. And
there were lightnings and voices and an earthquake and great hail.
1 And a great sign appeared
in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on
her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 And being with child, she
cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered.
3 And there was seen
another sign in heaven. And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and
ten horns and on his heads seven diadems.
4 And his tail drew the
third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon
stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered: that, when she should be
delivered, he might devour her son.
5 And she brought forth a
male child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken
up to God and to his throne.
