So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who

deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Then I heard a voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before

our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the

Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Therefore, rejoice, o heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has

a short time.” (Revelation 12:9-12)
