CHAPTER 12

:1  And there appeared <G 3700> a great <G 3173> wonder <G 4592>

in heaven <G

3772>; a woman <G 1135> clothed <G 4016> with the sun <G 2246>,

and the moon <G

4582> under <G 5270> her feet <G 4228>, and upon her head <G

2776> a crown <G

4735> of twelve <G 1427> stars <G 0792>:

:2  And she being <G 2192> with child <G 1064> cried <G 2896>,

travailing <G

5605> in birth <G 5605>, and pained <G 0928> to be delivered <G

5088>.

:3  And there appeared <G 3700> another <G 0243> wonder <G 4592>

in heaven <G

3772>; and behold <G 2400> a great <G 3173> red <G 4450> dragon

<G 1404>, having

<G 2192> seven <G 2033> heads <G 2776> and ten <G 1176> horns <G

2768>, and

seven <G 2033> crowns <G 1238> upon his heads <G 2776>.

:4  And his tail <G 3769> drew <G 4951> the third <G 5154> part

of the stars <G

0792> of heaven <G 3772>, and did cast <G 0906> them to the

earth <G 1093>: and

the dragon <G 1404> stood <G 2476> before <G 1799> the woman <G

1135> which <G

3588> was ready <G 3195> to be delivered <G 5088>, for to devour

<G 2719> her

child <G 5043> as soon <G 3752> as it was born <G 5088>.

:5  And she brought <G 5088> forth <G 5088> a man <G 0730> child

<G 5207>, who

<G 3739> was to rule <G 4165> all <G 3956> nations <G 1484> with

a rod <G 4464>

of iron <G 4603>: and her child <G 5043> was caught <G 0726> up

unto God <G

2316>, and [to] his throne <G 2362>.

:6  And the woman <G 1135> fled <G 5343> into <G 1519> the

wilderness <G 2048>,

where <G 3699> she hath <G 2192> a place <G 5117> prepared <G

2090> of God <G

2316>, that they should feed <G 5142> her there <G 1563> a

thousand <G 5507> two

<G 1417> hundred <G 1250> [and] threescore <G 1835> days <G

2250>.

:7  And there was war <G 4171> in heaven <G 3772>: Michael <G

3413> and his

angels <G 0032> fought <G 4170> against <G 2596> the dragon <G

1404>; and the

dragon <G 1404> fought <G 4170> and his angels <G 0032>,

:8  And prevailed <G 2480> not; neither <G 3777> was their place

<G 5117> found

<G 2147> any <G 2089> more <G 2089> in heaven <G 3772>.

:9  And the great <G 3173> dragon <G 1404> was cast <G 0906> out,

 that old <G

0744> serpent <G 3789>, called <G 2564> the Devil <G 1228>, and

Satan <G 4567>,

which <G 3588> deceiveth <G 4105> the whole <G 3650> world <G

3625>: he was cast

<G 0906> out into <G 1519> the earth <G 1093>, and his angels <G

0032> were cast

<G 0906> out with him.

:10  And I heard <G 0191> a loud <G 3173> voice <G 5456> saying

<G 3004> in

heaven <G 3772>, Now <G 0737> is come <G 1096> salvation <G

4991>, and strength

<G 1411>, and the kingdom <G 0932> of our God <G 2316>, and the

power <G 1849>

of his Christ <G 5547>: for the accuser <G 2723> of our brethren

<G 0080> is

cast <G 2598> down <G 2598>, which <G 3588> accused <G 2725>

them before <G

1799> our God <G 2316> day <G 2250> and night <G 3571>.

:11  And they overcame <G 3528> him by the blood <G 0129> of the

Lamb <G 0721>,

and by the word <G 3056> of their testimony <G 3141>; and they

loved <G 0025>

not their lives <G 5590> unto the death <G 2288>.

:12  Therefore <G 5124> rejoice <G 2165>, [ye] heavens <G 3772>,

and ye that

dwell <G 4637> in them. Woe <G 3759> to the inhabiters <G 2730>

of the earth <G

1093> and of the sea <G 2281>! for the devil <G 1228> is come <G

2597> down <G

2597> unto you, having <G 2192> great <G 3173> wrath <G 2372>,

because he

knoweth <G 1492> that he hath <G 2192> but a short <G 3641> time

<G 2540>.

:13  And when <G 3753> the dragon <G 1404> saw <G 1492> that he

was cast <G

0906> unto the earth <G 1093>, he persecuted <G 1377> the woman

<G 1135> which

<G 3748> brought <G 5088> forth <G 5088> the man <G 0730>

[child].

:14  And to the woman <G 1135> were given <G 1325> two <G 1417>

wings <G 4420>

of a great <G 3173> eagle <G 0105>, that she might fly <G 4072>

into <G 1519>

the wilderness <G 2048>, into <G 1519> her place <G 5117>, where

<G 3699> she is

nourished <G 5142> for a time <G 2540>, and times <G 2540>, and

half <G 2255> a

time <G 2540>, from the face <G 4383> of the serpent <G 3789>.

:15  And the serpent <G 3789> cast <G 0906> out of his mouth <G

4750> water <G

5204> as a flood <G 4215> after <G 3694> the woman <G 1135>,

that he might cause

<G 4160> her to be carried <G 4216> away of the flood <G 4216>.

:16  And the earth <G 1093> helped <G 0997> the woman <G 1135>,

and the earth <G

1093> opened <G 0455> her mouth <G 4750>, and swallowed <G 2666>

up the flood <G

4215> which <G 3739> the dragon <G 1404> cast <G 0906> out of

his mouth <G

4750>.

:17  And the dragon <G 1404> was wroth <G 3710> with the woman

<G 1135>, and

went <G 0565> to make <G 4160> war <G 4171> with the remnant <G

3062> of her

seed <G 4690>, which <G 3588> keep <G 5083> the commandments <G

1785> of God <G

2316>, and have <G 2192> the testimony <G 3141> of Jesus <G

2424> Christ <G

5547>.
