12:7 Then 11 war broke out in heaven: Michael 12 and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 12:8 But 13 the dragon was not strong enough to prevail, 14 so there was no longer any place left 15 in heaven for him and his angels. 16 12:9 So 17 that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him. 12:10 Then 18 I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority 19 of his Christ, 20 have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, 21
the one who accuses them day and night 22 before our God,
has been thrown down.
