SATAN AND HIS ANGELS CAST DOWN TO THE EARTH.

xii, 7-9, 4.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought, and his angels, and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven, And the

great dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out unto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him....... And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony: and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion; and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne (Gr.) and great authority....And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies....And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and

his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven....And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death : and his deadly wound was healed....And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
