Revelation 12:6

Read in context

Revelation 12:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.

5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.

7 Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

8 But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.
