Wake up, arm of the Lord! Wake up! Dress yourself with strength as if it were your clothes! Wake up, just as you did in the past. Wake up, as you did long ago. Didn’t you cut Rahab to pieces? Didn’t you stab that sea monster to death?

Tell him,‘ The Lord and King says,“‘ “Pharaoh Hophra, I am against you. King of Egypt, you are like a huge monster lying among your streams. You say,‘ The Nile River belongs to me. I made it for myself.’

Then another sign appeared in heaven. It was a huge red dragon. It had seven heads and ten horns. On its seven heads it wore seven crowns.The dragon’s tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky. It threw the stars down to earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to have a baby. The dragon wanted to eat her child the moment he was born.She gave birth to a son. He“ will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”( Psalm 2:9) And her child was taken up to God and to his throne.The woman escaped into the desert where God had a place prepared for her. There she would be taken care of for 1,260 days.Then a war began in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back.But the dragon wasn’t strong enough. Both he and his angels lost their place in heaven.The great dragon was thrown down to the earth, and his angels with him. The dragon is that old serpent called the devil, or Satan. He leads the whole world astray.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven. It said,“ Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God have come. The authority of his Messiah has come. Satan, who brings charges against our brothers and sisters, has been thrown down. He brings charges against them in front of our God day and night.They had victory over him by the blood the Lamb spilled for them. They had victory over him by speaking the truth about Jesus to others. They were willing to risk their lives, even if it led to death.So be joyful, you heavens! Be glad, all you who live there! But how terrible it will be for the earth and the sea! The devil has come down to you. He is very angry. He knows his time is short.”The dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth. So he chased the woman who had given birth to the boy.The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle. She was given these wings so that she could fly away. She could fly to the place prepared for her in the desert. There she would be taken care of for three and a half years. She would be out of the serpent’s reach.Then out of his mouth the serpent spit water like a river. He wanted to catch the woman and sweep her away in the flood.But the earth helped the woman. It opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had spit out.The dragon was very angry with the woman. He went off to make war against the rest of her children. They obey God’s commands. And they hold firmly to the truth they have said about Jesus.The dragon stood on the seashore. I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads. There were ten crowns on its horns. On each head was an evil name that brought shame to God.The beast I saw looked like a leopard. But it had feet like a bear and a mouth like a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority.

Ships sail back and forth on it. Leviathan, the sea monster you made, plays in it.

His breath made the skies bright and clear. His hand wounded the serpent that glides through the sea.

You parted the waters of the Red Sea by your power. You broke the heads of that sea monster in Egypt.You crushed the heads of the sea monster Leviathan. You fed it to the creatures of the desert.

He grabbed the dragon, that old serpent. The serpent is also called the devil, or Satan. The angel put him in chains for 1,000 years.

Wolves and lambs will eat together. Lions will eat straw like oxen. Serpents will eat nothing but dust. None of those animals will harm or destroy anything or anyone on my holy mountain of Zion,” says the Lord.

So turn away from your sins! If you don’t, I will come to you soon. I will fight against those people with the sword that comes out of my mouth.

He is coming from the place where he lives. He will punish the people of the earth for their sins. The blood spilled on the earth will be brought out into the open. The ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

May people say evil things about that day. May people ready to wake the sea monster Leviathan say evil things about that day.

Job replied,“ You people think you are the only ones who matter! You are sure that wisdom will die with you!But I have a brain, just like you. I’m as clever as you are. In fact, everyone knows as much as you do.“ My friends laugh at me all the time, even though I called out to God and he answered. My friends laugh at me, even though I’m honest and right.People who have an easy life look down on those who have problems. They think trouble comes only to those whose feet are slipping.Why doesn’t anyone bother the tents of robbers? Why do those who make God angry remain secure? They are in God’s hands!“ But ask the animals what God does. They will teach you. Or ask the birds in the sky. They will tell you.Or speak to the earth. It will teach you. Or let the fish in the ocean educate you.Are there any of these creatures that don’t know what the powerful hand of the Lord has done?He holds the life of every creature in his hand. He controls the breath of every human being.Our tongues tell us what tastes good and what doesn’t. And our ears tell us what’s true and what isn’t.Old people are wise. Those who live a long time have understanding.“ Wisdom and power belong to God. Advice and understanding also belong to him.What he tears down can’t be rebuilt. The people he puts in prison can’t be set free.If he holds back the water, everything dries up. If he lets the water loose, it floods the land.Strength and understanding belong to him. Those who tell lies and those who believe them also belong to him.He removes the wisdom of rulers and leads them away. He makes judges look foolish.He sets people free from the chains that kings put on them. Then he dresses the kings in the clothes of slaves.He removes the authority of priests and leads them away. He removes from their positions officials who have been in control for a long time.He shuts the mouths of trusted advisers. He takes away the understanding of elders.He looks down on proud leaders. He takes away the strength of those who are mighty.He tells people the secrets of darkness. He brings total darkness out into the light.He makes nations great, and then he destroys them. He makes nations grow, and then he scatters them.He takes away the understanding of the leaders of the earth. He makes them wander in a desert where no one lives.Without any light, they feel their way along in darkness. God makes them unsteady like those who get drunk.

“ Son of man, sing a song of sadness about Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt. Tell him,“‘ You are like a lion among the nations. You are like a monster in the sea. You move around wildly in your rivers. You churn the water with your feet. You make the streams muddy.’ ”The Lord and King says,“ I will use a large crowd of people to throw my net over you. They will pull you up in it.Then I will throw you on the land. I will toss you into an open field. I will let all the birds in the sky settle on you. I will let all the wild animals eat you up.I will scatter the parts of your body all over the mountains. I will fill the valleys with your remains.

And you can be just as sure that I will sharpen my flashing sword. My hand will hold it when I judge. I will get even with my enemies. I will pay back those who hate me.I will make my arrows drip with blood. My sword will destroy people. It will kill some. It will even kill prisoners. It will cut off the heads of enemy leaders.”

Mighty one, put your sword at your side. Put on glory and majesty as if they were your clothes.

Then I saw a second beast. This one came out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb. But it spoke like a dragon.

People worshiped the dragon, because he had given authority to the beast. They also worshiped the beast. They asked,“ Who is like the beast? Who can make war against it?”

Then the angel spoke to me.“ You saw the waters the prostitute sits on,” he said.“ They stand for all the nations of the world, no matter what their race or language is.

The sword of the Lord will finish its deadly work in the sky. Then it will come down to strike Edom. He will totally destroy that nation.His sword will be red with blood. It will be covered with fat. The blood will flow like the blood of lambs and goats being sacrificed. The fat will be like the fat taken from the kidneys of rams. That’s because the Lord will offer a sacrifice in the city of Bozrah. He will kill many people in the land of Edom.

The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the rider’s mouth. All the birds stuffed themselves with the dead bodies.

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me. He said,“ Come. I will show you how the great prostitute will be punished. She is the one who sits by many waters.

You who live by the rivers of Babylon, your end has come. You who are rich in treasures, it is time for you to be destroyed.

“‘ Sword of the Lord!’ you cry out.‘ How long will it be until you rest? Return to the place you came from. Stop killing us! Be still!’

Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs. They came out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet.

It ranks first among my works. I made it. I can approach it with my sword.

The people of Jerusalem say,“ Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has destroyed us. He has thrown us into a panic. He has emptied us out like a jar. Like a snake he has swallowed us up. He has filled his stomach with our rich food. Then he has spit us out of his mouth.”
