Revelation 12:13

11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea; with great fury the devil has come down to you, knowing he has only a short time.”

And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.

14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle to fly from the presence of the serpent to her place in the wilderness, where she was nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.

15 Then from the mouth of the serpent spewed water like a river to overtake the woman and sweep her away in the torrent.
