After the defeat of the dragon (Apo 12:10-12, 17)
The Latin:
Nunc facta est salus, et virtus, et regnum Dei nostri, et potéstas Christi eíus : quia proiéctus est accusátor fratrum nostrórum, qui accusábat illos ante conspéctum Dei nostri die ac nocte. Et ipsi vicérunt eum propter sánguinem Agni, et propter verbum testimónii sui, et non dilexérunt ánimas suas usque ad mortem. Proptérea lætámini cæli, et qui habitátis in eis. Væ terræ, et mari, quia descéndit diábolus ad vos habens iram magnam, sciens quod módicum tempus habet.
Et irátus est draco in mulíerem : et ábiit fácere prǽlium cum réliquis de sémine eíus, qui custódiunt mandáta Dei, et habent testimónium Iésu Christi.
The English:
Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: because the accuser of our brethren is cast forth, who accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of the testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you that dwell therein. Woe to the earth, and to the sea, because the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
[I was watching a program on the Discovery Channel about Revelation recently. Of course, it was all about evangelical 'christianity', people in large stadiums holding up their hands and chanting. Pastors singing about Apocalypse. One pastor dared to deny the existence of Hell. His lovey-dovey impression of the Lord Almighty does not allow the existence of Gehenna. All true believers, says he, will be caught up in the rapture while everyone else suffers down on earth.]
