Revelation 12 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

1 And a great ^G3173 sign ^G4592 appeared ^G3708 in heaven ^G3772: a woman ^G1135 clothed ^G4016 with the sun ^G2246, and the moon ^G4582 under ^G5270 her feet ^G4228, and on her head ^G2776 a crown ^G4735 of twelve ^G1427 stars ^G792.

2 And she was with child ^G1722 G1064, and she *cried ^G2896 out ^G2896, being ^G5605 in ^G5605 labor ^G5605 and in pain ^G928 to give ^G5088 birth ^G5088. 3 Then ^G2532 another ^G243 sign ^G4592 appeared ^G3708 in heaven ^G3772: and behold ^G2400, a great ^G3173 red ^G4450 dragon ^G1404 having ^G2192 seven ^G2033 heads ^G2776 and ten ^G1176 horns ^G2768, and on his heads ^G2776 were seven ^G2033 diadems ^G1238. 4 And his tail ^G3769 *swept ^G4951 away ^G4951 a third ^G5154 of the stars ^G792 of heaven ^G3772 and threw ^G906 them to the earth ^G1093. And the dragon ^G1404 stood ^G2476 before ^G1799 the woman ^G1135 who was ^G3195 about ^G3195 to ^G3195 give ^G5088 birth ^G5088, so ^G2443 that when ^G3752 she gave ^G5088 birth ^G5088 he might devour ^G2719 her child ^G5043. 5 And she gave ^G5088 birth ^G5088 to a son ^G5207, a male ^G730 child, who ^G3739 is ^G3195 to ^G3195 [fn]rule ^G4165 all ^G3956 the [fn]nations ^G1484 with a rod ^G4464 of iron ^G4603; and her child ^G5043 was caught ^G726 up to God ^G2316 and to His throne ^G2362. 6 Then ^G2532 the woman ^G1135 fled ^G5343 into the wilderness ^G2048 where ^G3699 she *had ^G2192 a place ^G5117 prepared ^G2090 by God ^G2316, so ^G2443 that there ^G1563 [fn]she would be nourished ^G5142 for 1,260 ^{G5507 G1250 G1835} days ^G2250.

War in Heaven

7 And there was war ^G4171 in heaven ^G3772, Michael ^G3413 and his angels ^G32 waging ^G4170 war ^G4171 with the dragon ^G1404. The dragon ^G1404 and his angels ^G32 waged ^G4170 war ^G4171,

8 and they were not strong ^G2480 enough ^G2480, and there was no ^G3761 longer ^G2089 a place ^G5117 found ^G2147 for them in heaven ^G3772. 9 And the great ^G3173 dragon ^G1404 was thrown ^G906 down, the serpent ^G3789 of old ^G744 who is called ^G2564 the devil ^G1228 and Satan ^G4567, who deceives ^G4105 the whole ^G3650 [fn]world ^G3625. He was thrown ^G906 down to the earth ^G1093, and his angels ^G32 were thrown ^G906 down with him. 10 Then ^G2532 I heard ^G191 a loud ^G3173 voice ^G5456 in heaven ^G3772, saying ^G3004,

“Now ^G737 the salvation ^G4991, and the power ^G1411, and the kingdom ^G932 of our God ^G2316 and the authority ^G1849 of His Christ ^G5547 have come ^G1096, for the accuser ^G6051 of our brothers ^G80 has been thrown ^G906 down, he who accuses ^G2723 them before ^G1799 our God ^G2316 day ^G2250 and night ^G3571. 11 And they overcame ^G3528 him because ^G1223 of the blood ^G129 of the Lamb ^G721 and because ^G1223 of the word ^G3056 of their witness ^G3141, and they did not love ^G25 their life ^G5590 even ^G891 to death ^G2288. 12 For this ^G3778 reason ^G1223, rejoice ^G2165, O heavens ^G3772 and you who [fn]dwell ^G4637 in them. Woe ^G3759 to the earth ^G1093 and the sea ^G2281, because ^G3754 the devil ^G1228 has come ^G2597 down ^G2597 to you, having ^G2192 great ^G3173 wrath ^G2372, knowing ^G6063 that he has ^G2192 only a short ^G3641 time ^G2540.”

13 And when ^G3753 the dragon ^G1404 saw ^G3708 that he was thrown ^G906 down to the earth ^G1093, he persecuted ^G1377 the woman ^G1135 who ^G3748 gave ^G5088 birth ^G5088 to the male ^G730 child. 14 But the two ^G1417 wings ^G4420 of the great ^G3173 eagle ^G105 were given ^G1325 to the woman ^G1135, so ^G2443 that she could fly ^G4072 into the wilderness ^G2048 to her place ^G5117, where ^G3699 she *was nourished ^G5142 for a time ^G2540 and times ^G2540 and half ^G2255 a time ^G2540, from the [fn]presence ^G4383 of the serpent ^G3789. 15 And the serpent ^G3789 [fn]poured ^G906 water ^G5204 like ^G5613 a river ^G4215 out of his mouth ^G4750 after ^G3694 the woman ^G1135, so ^G2443 that he might cause ^G4160 her to be swept ^G4216 away ^G4216 with ^G4216 the ^G4216 flood ^G4216. 16 [fn]But the earth ^G1093 helped ^G997 the woman ^G1135, and the earth ^G1093 opened ^G455 its mouth ^G4750 and drank ^G2666 up ^G2666 the river ^G4215 which ^G3739 the dragon ^G1404 [fn]poured ^G906 out of his mouth ^G4750. 17 So ^G2532 the dragon ^G1404 was enraged ^G3710 with the woman ^G1135 and went ^G565 off ^G565 to make ^G4160 war ^G4171 with the rest ^G3062 of her seed ^G4690, who keep ^G5083 the commandments ^G1785 of God ^G2316 and have ^G2192 the witness ^G3141 of Jesus ^G2424.
