Revelation 12
1 Then an amazing sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars;
2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains, groaning as she was giving birth.
and being with child she cried, [being] in travail, and in pain to bring forth.
3 Another sign appeared in heaven: a great red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven small crowns on his heads.
And another sign was seen in the heaven: and behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems;
4 His tail swept away a third of the stars of heaven and threw them down to the earth. The dragon stood right in front of the woman who was giving birth, so that he could eat her child as soon as it was born.
and his tail draws the third part of the stars of the heaven; and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bring forth, in order that when she brought forth he might devour her child.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all nations with an iron rod. Her son was snatched up to God and his throne.
And she brought forth a male son, who shall shepherd all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was caught up to God and to his throne.
6 The woman ran away into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her, so that she could be looked after for 1,260 days.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place prepared of God, that they should nourish her there a thousand two hundred [and] sixty days.
7 There was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought with the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought
And there was war in the heaven: Michael and his angels went to war with the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels;
8 but he was not strong enough, and they could no longer remain in heaven.
and he prevailed not, nor was their place found any more in the heaven.
9 The great dragon, the ancient serpent called the Devil and Satan who deceives the whole world, was thrown down to the earth, and his angels with him.
And the great dragon was cast out, the ancient serpent, he who is called Devil and Satan, he who deceives the whole habitable world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now salvation has come, and power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. The Accuser of the believers has been thrown down—the one who accuses them in God's presence day and night.
And I heard a great voice in the heaven saying, Now is come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; for the accuser of our brethren has been cast out, who accused them before our God day and night:
11 They conquered him through the blood of the Lamb and through their personal testimony—they did not love their lives so much that they were willing to die if necessary.
and they have overcome him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of the word of their testimony, and have not loved their life even unto death.
12 So celebrate, heaven, and everyone who lives there! Mourn, earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you and is very angry, knowing his time is short.”
Therefore be full of delight, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great rage, knowing he has a short time.
13 When the dragon realized he had been thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that had given birth to the male child.
And when the dragon saw that he had been cast out into the earth, he persecuted the woman which bore the male [child].
14 The woman was given the wings of a large eagle so she could fly away to a deserted place where she could be looked after for a time, times, and half a time, protected from the serpent.
And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the desert into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, from [the] face of the serpent.
15 The serpent spewed water like a river out of his mouth, trying to sweep her away in the flood.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth behind the woman water as a river, that he might make her be [as] one carried away by a river.
16 The earth came to the woman's aid by opening its mouth and swallowing up the river that the dragon spewed out of his mouth.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 The dragon was furious with the woman, and went off to attack the rest of her offspring, those who keep God's commandments and have the testimony of Jesus.
And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.
