Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we

encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought to

you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to where

we are, which is Revelation. We're also discovering how the story of salvation unfold and how we fit into

that story today. It is day 362. We're reading from Revelation, chapters 12, 13, and 14. We're also reading our final book of the Bible. Of course, Revelation is the last book. But the last new book we have, which is Hebrews, chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4. We're also reading Proverbs chapter 31 versus 19 through 22 today. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the great adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in your reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in the air and store that up for five days from now when you're starting back on day number one. You can also subscribe to this podcast and click on that and receive daily episodes and daily updates.

and on her head, a crown of twelve stars. She was with child, and she cried out in her pangs

of birth and anguish for delivery, and another sign appeared in heaven. Behold, a red dragon, with seven heads and

ten horns and seven diadems upon his heads. His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven

and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child

that he might devour her child when she brought it forth. She brought forth a male child,

one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to

his throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God

in which to be nourished for 1,260 days. Michael defeats the dragon. Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against

the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated, and there was no longer

any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down that ancient serpent who

is called the devil in Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth,

and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
