Rev. 12:9,12‑17• 9And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, that is called the Devil and Satan, that deceiveth the whole habitable world: he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast with him.
 12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that tabernacle in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! for the devil is gone down unto you, having great fury, knowing that he hath a short time.
 13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the male child.
 14And there were given to the woman [the] two wings of the great eagle, that she should fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished there a time and times and half a time from the serpent's face.
 15And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might make her as carried away by a river.
 16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

How great is the patience of God! (“Job 1-2” by S. Ridout)
