Revelation Chapter 12 verses 4-5
verse 4: and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
verse 5: and she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God and to his throne.
