Revelation 12:4-5
12:4 Now
the dragon’s
tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then
the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.
12:5 So
the woman gave birth to a son, a male child,
who is going
to rule over all the nations with an iron rod.
Her
child was suddenly caught up to God and to his throne,
Genesis 3:15
3:15 And I will put hostility between you and the woman
and between your offspring and her offspring;
her offspring will attack your head,
and you will attack her offspring’s heel.”
Psalms 37:12-14
37:12 Evil men plot against the godly
and viciously attack them.
37:13 The Lord laughs in disgust at them,
for he knows that their day is coming.
37:14 Evil men draw their swords
and prepare their bows,
to bring down the oppressed and needy,
and to slaughter those who are godly.
John 16:33
16:33 I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering,
but take courage
– I have conquered the world.”
