And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels;
