NASB Bible

Revelation 12

The Woman, Israel

1

A great  asign appeared  bin heaven:  ca woman  dclothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

2

and she was with child; and she * acried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

The Red Dragon, Satan

3

Then  aanother sign appeared in heaven: and behold, a great red  bdragon having  cseven heads and  dten horns, and on his heads were  eseven diadems.

4

And his tail *swept away a  athird of the stars of heaven and  bthrew them to the earth. And the  cdragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth  dhe might devour her child.

The Male Child, Christ

5

And  ashe gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to  1 brule all the  2nations with a rod of iron; and her child was  ccaught up to God and to His throne.

6

Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there  1she would be nourished for  aone thousand two hundred and sixty days.

The Angel, Michael

7

And there was war in heaven,  aMichael and his angels waging war with the  bdragon. The dragon and  chis angels waged war,

8

and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.

9

And the great  adragon was thrown down, the  bserpent of old who is called the devil and  cSatan, who  ddeceives the whole  1world; he was  ethrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

10

Then I heard  aa loud voice in heaven, saying,

"Now the  bsalvation, and the power, and the  akingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the  caccuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

11

"And they  aovercame him because of  bthe blood of the Lamb and because of  cthe word of their testimony, and they  ddid not love their life even  1when faced with death.

12

"For this reason,  arejoice, O heavens and  byou who  1dwell in them.  cWoe to the earth and the sea, because  dthe devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only  ea short time."

13

And when the  adragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted  bthe woman who gave birth to the male child.

14

But the  atwo wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly  binto the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for  ca time and times and half a time, from the  1presence of the serpent.

15

And the  aserpent  1poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood.

16

 1But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon  2poured out of his mouth.

17

So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to  amake war with the rest of her  1 bchildren, who  ckeep the commandments of God and  dhold to the testimony of Jesus.
