Bible verses about "dragons" | NSB

¹⁵ »Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you. It feeds on grass as cattle do. ¹⁶ »What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! ¹⁷ »His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. ¹⁸ »His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. ¹⁹ »He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. ²⁰ »The hills bring him their produce. All the wild animals play nearby.

²¹ »Its breath kindles coals, and a flame comes out of its mouth.

⁸ Smoke went up from his nostrils. A raging fire came out of his mouth. Glowing coals were kindled by it.

¹ A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head was a crown with twelve stars. ² She, being with child, cried out in labor pains, ready to deliver. ³ Another sign appeared in heaven. It was a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. ⁴ His tail swept a third of the stars of heaven, and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered. He was ready to devour her child as soon as it was born. ⁵ She gave birth to a male-child, who was to rule all nations with a rod (scepter) of iron. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. ⁶ The woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God. There they feed her a thousand two hundred and sixty days. ⁷ War broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. ⁸ The dragon lost and no place in heaven was found for him any longer. ⁹ The great dragon was thrown down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was hurled down to the earth, and his angels with him. ¹⁰ I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, »Now has come the salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power (authority) of his Christ: for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accused them before our God day and night. ¹¹ They conquered (overcame) him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives when faced with death. ¹² Therefore rejoice (be glad), you heavens, and you that dwell in them. But woe to the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having fierce anger, because he knows that he has only a short time.« ¹³ When the dragon saw that he was thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male-child. ¹⁴ Two wings of a great eagle were given to the woman, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (one thousand two hundred and sixty days), out of the serpent's reach. ¹⁵ The serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. ¹⁶ But the earth rescued the woman, and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed up the flood that the dragon spewed out of his mouth. ¹⁷ The dragon was furious with the woman and waged war with the remnant of her seed. These are the ones who obey the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

¹ I saw an angel come down from heaven. He had the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² He seized the dragon, the old serpent that is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. ³ He hurled him into the bottomless pit, and shut it and sealed it over him. He could not deceive the nations anymore till the thousand years ended. After that he must be let loose for a little while.

¹ The dragon stood on the shore by the sea. I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. His horns had ten crowns on them. Blasphemous names were on his heads. ² The beast I saw looked like a leopard. His feet were like the feet of a bear. His mouth was like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power, his throne, and great authority. ³ One of his heads appeared to have had a fatal wound. His fatal wound had healed, and the entire world followed the beast with admiration. ⁴ Men worshiped the dragon that gave power to the beast. They worshiped the beast, saying: »Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?« ⁵ A mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to the beast. And authority to act was given to him to continue forty-two months. ⁶ He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, to slander his name, and his dwelling place, and those who live in heaven. ⁷ It was granted to him to wage war with the holy ones, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all tribes, and tongues, and nations. ⁸ All the citizens of earth will worship him, all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life who was slain from the foundation of the world. ⁹ If any man can listen, let him hear. ¹⁰ He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. This requires the patience and the faith of the holy ones. ¹¹ Then I saw another wild beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb and he spoke like a dragon. ¹² He exercises all the authority of the first beast that came ahead of him. The second beast causes the earth and those who live there to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ He performed great signs, so that he made fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles he had power to do in the sight of the beast. He says to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast that had the wound by a sword and yet lives. ¹⁵ He had power to give breath to the image of the beast and to make that image of the beast speak. He caused many to be killed, those who would not worship the image of the beast. ¹⁶ And he forces all persons, the great and the small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. ¹⁷ No one could buy or sell without the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name. ¹⁸ This requires wisdom. Let him that has understanding calculate the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

⁹ The great dragon was thrown down, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was hurled down to the earth, and his angels with him.

¹ In that day Jehovah will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword. He will slay Leviathan the fleeing, coiling serpent, the monster of the sea.

¹ I saw an angel come down from heaven. He had the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. ² He seized the dragon, the old serpent that is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. ³ He hurled him into the bottomless pit, and shut it and sealed it over him. He could not deceive the nations anymore till the thousand years ended. After that he must be let loose for a little while. ⁴ I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I also saw the people who were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image. They had not received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. They lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. ⁵ [The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.] (Not found in older manuscripts.) This is the first resurrection. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them. They shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall rule as kings with him for the thousand years. ⁷ When the thousand years end, Satan will be let loose out of his prison. ⁸ Satan will go out to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle. The number of these is as the sand of the sea (too great to count). ⁹ They advanced over the broad plain of the earth, and encircled the camp of the holy ones, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven and devoured (consumed) them. ¹⁰ The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and will be tormented day and night forever. ¹¹ I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. From before him the earth and heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. ¹² I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. The books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to their works. ¹³ The sea gave up the dead in it. Death and the grave delivered up the dead in them. Every man was judged according to his works. ¹⁴ Death and the grave were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death. ¹⁵ Whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled (thrust) (thrown) into the lake of fire.

⁷ When the thousand years end, Satan will be let loose out of his prison.
