Revelation 12:8

Spiritual warfare

6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place for her to be nourished for 1,260 days.

7 Then a war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back.

But the dragon was not strong enough, and no longer was any place found in heaven for him and his angels.

9 And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down— he who accuses them day and night before our God.
