They<n id="1" /> had hair like women&#8217;s hair, and their teeth were like lions&#8217; teeth.

and she<n id="1" /> fled into the wilderness<n id="2" /> where a place had been prepared for her<n id="3" /> by God, so she could be taken care of<n id="4" /> for 1,260 days.p>

<p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the dragon realized<n id="2" /> that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

Then<n id="1" /> the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to<n id="2" /> sweep her away by a flood,

(This requires<n id="1" /> a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains<n id="2" /> the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

As for<n id="1" /> the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.&#8221;p>

<p class="poetry">Let us rejoice<n id="1" /> and exultp> <p class="poetry">and give him glory,p> <p class="poetry">because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come,p> <p class="poetry">and his bride has made herself ready.p>

But I have this against you: You tolerate that<n id="1" /> woman<n id="2" /> Jezebel,<n id="3" /> who calls herself a prophetess, and by her teaching deceives<n id="4" /> my servants<n id="5" /> to commit sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.<n id="6" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head was a crown of twelve stars.<n id="2" />

But<n id="1" /> the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness,<n id="2" /> to the place God<n id="3" /> prepared for her, where she is taken care of &#8211; away from the presence of the serpent &#8211; for a time, times, and half a time.<n id="4" />

but<n id="1" /> the earth came to her rescue;<n id="2" /> the ground opened up<n id="3" /> and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

So<n id="1" /> the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children,<n id="2" /> those who keep<n id="3" /> God&#8217;s commandments and hold to<n id="4" /> the testimony about Jesus.<n id="5" /> <v id="(12:18)" /> And the dragon<n id="6" /> stood<n id="7" /> on the sand<n id="8" /> of the seashore.<n id="9" />p>

<p class="bodytext">These are the ones who have not defiled themselves<n id="1" /> with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from humanity as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb,

So<n id="1" /> he carried me away in the Spirit<n id="2" /> to a wilderness,<n id="3" /> and there<n id="4" /> I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

Now<n id="1" /> the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet clothing,<n id="2" /> and adorned with gold,<n id="3" /> precious stones, and pearls. She held<n id="4" /> in her hand a golden cup filled with detestable things and unclean things from her sexual immorality.<n id="5" />

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified to Jesus.<n id="1" /> I<n id="2" /> was greatly astounded<n id="3" /> when I saw her.

But<n id="1" /> the angel said to me, &#8220;Why are you astounded? I will interpret<n id="2" /> for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.

Now<n id="1" /> the dragon&#8217;s<n id="2" /> tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then<n id="3" /> 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.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8220;Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!&#8221;
