Then another sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red dragon (satan)...And his tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and hurled them to the earth (demons). And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her Child (Herod's Massacre of the Innocents) .
