Revelation 12

1AndG2532 a greatG3173 signG4592 appearedG3708 inG1722 heavenG3772: a womanG1135 clothed inG4016 theG3588 sunG2246, withG2532 theG3588 moonG4582 underG5270 herG846 feetG4228 andG2532 a crownG4735 of twelveG1427 starsG792 onG1909 herG846 headG2776. 2She was pregnantG1722G1064G2192 andG2532 crying outG2896 in the painG5605 andG2532 agonyG928 of giving birthG5088.

3ThenG2532 anotherG243 signG4592 appearedG3708 inG1722 heavenG3772: a hugeG3173 redG4450 dragonG1404 with sevenG2033 headsG2776, tenG1176 hornsG2768, andG2532 sevenG2033 royal crownsG1238 onG1909 hisG846 headsG2776. 4HisG846 tailG3769 sweptG4951 aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 starsG792 fromG3588 the skyG3772, hurlingG906 themG846 toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093. AndG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 theG3588 womanG1135 who was aboutG3195 to give birthG5088, ready toG2443 devourG2719 herG846 childG5043 as soon asG3752 she gave birthG5088.

5AndG2532 she gave birthG5088 to a sonG5207, a male childG730, whoG3739 willG3195 ruleG4165 allG3956 theG3588 nationsG1484 withG1722 an ironG4603 scepterG4464.1 AndG2532 herG846 childG5043 was caught upG726 toG4314 GodG2316 andG2532 toG4314 HisG846 throneG2362. 6AndG2532 theG3588 womanG1135 fledG5343 intoG1519 theG3588 wildernessG2048, whereG3699 GodG2316 had preparedG2090 a placeG5117 forG2443 herG846 to be nourishedG5142 for 1,260G5507G1250G1835 daysG2250.

The War in Heaven

7ThenG2532 a warG4171 broke outG1096 inG1722 heavenG3772: MichaelG3413 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 foughtG4170 againstG3326 theG3588 dragonG1404, andG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 foughtG4170 back. 8But the dragon was not strong enoughG3756G2480, and no longerG3761G2089 was any placeG5117 foundG2147 inG1722 heavenG3772 forG846 him and his angels. 9AndG2532 theG3588 greatG3173 dragonG1404 was hurled downG906—thatG3588 ancientG744 serpentG3789 calledG2564 the devilG1228 andG2532 SatanG4567, theG3588 deceiverG4105 of theG3588 wholeG3650 world. He was hurledG906 toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093, andG2532 hisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 himG846.

10AndG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772 sayingG3004:

The Woman Persecuted

13AndG2532 whenG3753 theG3588 dragonG1404 sawG3708 thatG3754 he had been thrownG906 toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093, he pursuedG1377 theG3588 womanG1135 whoG3748 had given birthG5088 to theG3588 maleG730 child. 14But theG3588 womanG1135 was givenG1325 twoG1417 wingsG4420 of aG3588 greatG3173 eagleG105 toG2443 flyG4072 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of theG3588 serpentG3789 toG1519 herG846 placeG5117 inG1519 theG3588 wildernessG2048, whereG3699 she was nourishedG5142 for a timeG2540, andG2532 timesG2540, andG2532 halfG2255 a timeG2540.

15ThenG2532 fromG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750 theG3588 serpentG3789 spewedG906 waterG5204 likeG5613 a riverG4215 to overtakeG3694 theG3588 womanG1135 and sweepG4160 herG846 away in the torrentG4216. 16But theG3588 earthG1093 helpedG997 theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 openedG455 itsG846 mouthG4750 to swallow upG2666 theG3588 riverG4215 thatG3739 theG3588 dragonG1404 had pouredG906 fromG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750. 17AndG2532 theG3588 dragonG1404 was enragedG3710 atG1909 theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 wentG565 to makeG4160 warG4171 withG3326 theG3588 restG3062 ofG3588 herG846 childrenG4690, whoG3588 keepG5083 theG3588 commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316 andG2532 hold toG2192 theG3588 testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424.

AndG2532 the dragon stoodG2476 onG1909 theG3588 shoreG285 of theG3588 seaG2281.2
