Eph 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,

blood but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.

Rev 12:1-3 And a great sign was seen in
heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon her head a
crown of twelve stars;
2 and she was with child; and she crieth out,
travailing in birth, and in pain to be delivered.
3 And there was seen another sign in heaven:
and behold, a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven
diadems.

Micah 4:10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O

daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail:
travail for now shalt
thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the
field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt
thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee
from the hand of thine enemies

Isa 66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth;

forth
before her pain came, she was delivered of a man
child.
Rom 9:4-5 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory,
and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the
promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the
flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Rev 12:3-4 And there was seen another sign in
heaven: and behold, a
great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his heads seven diadems.
4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of
heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the
dragon standeth before
the woman that is
about to be delivered,
that when
she is
delivered
he may
devour her child.
Ps 2:7 the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day
have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy
possession.

iron thou shalt dash them
