The War in Heaven

(Revelation 12)

© 2006 David P. Wirth

                  

 

Now a great sign appeared in the heavenlies

A woman who was clothed with the sun appeared

With the moon under both of her feet

On her head a garland of twelve stars

 

This woman was pregnant and cried out in pain

As she was about to give this birth she cried

Another sign appeared in heaven

A great red dragon with seven heads

 

Chorus

 

There was war in heaven that day

Michael and his angels fighting

The dragon and all his angels

Fighting back but lost the battle

Lost the battle

 

 

Seven crowns on his heads with ten horns on them

His tail then swept a third of the stars away

He threw them down below to the earth

The dragon just stood there and waited

 

There he stood in front of the pregnant woman

As she was about to give this birth, he stood

So, that he could devour this baby

The moment this child was to be born

 

To Chorus

 

Then she gave birth to a baby boy

Who will rule all nations with an iron rod

Then her boy was caught up to Adonai

Caught up to Adonai and His thrown

 

The woman fled into the wilderness

To a place all prepared by Adonai

One thousand two hundred sixty days

There she was cared for by Adonai
