1And an ot gadol (miraculous sign) was seen in Shomayim, an ISHA#12:1 Gn 3:15 having been clothed with the shemesh (sun), and the levanah (moon) underneath the feet of her, and on the rosh of her an atarah (diadem) of kokhavim (stars) numbering Shneym Asar (Twelve),#12:1 Gn 37:9
2And in her womb having a YELED#12:2 Isa 9:5 (CHILD, Moshiach), and she cries out, suffering CHEVLEI and being in pain to give birth.#12:2 Isa 26:17
3And another ot (miraculous sign) was seen in Shomayim. And hinei, a great red Dragon NACHASH,#12:3 Gn 3:1 having sheva (seven) heads and eser (ten) horns, and on the heads of it sheva (seven) ketarim (crowns).#12:3 Dan 7:7,20
4And the tail of him drags down a third of the kokhavim (stars) of Shomayim and threw them to ha'aretz (the earth), and the Dragon NACHASH was standing before the ISHA (Woman) who was about to give birth, that when she gives birth to the YELED (CHILD, Moshiach)#12:4 Isa 9:6 [5] of her, he might devour the YELED.#12:4 Dan 8:10
5And she gave birth to a BEN (SON, Moshiach),#12:5 Isa 9:6 [5] a zachar (male), who is about to shepherd all the Goyim (Nations) with a shevet barzel (scepter of iron),#12:5 Ps 2:9 and the YELED of the ISHA was snatched up to Hashem and to his Kes (Throne).
6And the ISHA fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place having been prepared by Hashem, that there she can be nourished a thousand two hundred and sixty yamim (days).
7And there was milchamah (war) in Shomayim, Mikha'el and the malachim of him fought against the Dragon NACHASH; and the Dragon NACHASH and his malachim fought back.
8But the Dragon NACHASH was not strong enough nor was any place found for them any longer in Shomayim.
9And the great Dragon, that NACHASH HaKadmoni (Ancient Serpent) was thrown down, the one being called the Malshin (Informer, Accuser) and HaSatan, the one deceiving the whole inhabited world. He was thrown to ha'aretz (the earth) and the malachim of him were thrown down with him.#12:9 Gn 3:1-7
10And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice) in Shomayim, saying, “Now has come the Yeshu'at Eloheinu and the Gevurah (Power) and the Malchut of Hashem Eloheinu and the memshalah (government) of his Moshiach, because the Malshin who is the accuser of our Achim b'Moshiach, the one accusing them before Hashem yomam valailah (day and night) was thrown down.#12:10 Job 1:9-11; Zech 3:1
11And they won the nitzachon (victory) over the Dragon NACHASH because of the dahm of the SEH (Lamb),#12:11 Ex 12:22-23; Isa 53:7, Moshiach and because of the dvar of the eidushaft (testimony) of them and because they did not have ahavah for their neshamot unto Mavet and were willing to die al kiddush ha-Shem.
12Therefore be glad, Shomayim, and the ones whose mishkan is there, but oy to ha'aretz (the earth) and to hayam (the sea), because HaSatan came down to you, having great ka'as (anger), having da'as that his time is short.”#12:12 Ps 96:11; Isa 44:23; 49:13
13And when the Dragon NACHASH saw that he was thrown down to ha'aretz, he brought redifah (persecution) on the ISHA who gave birth to the zachar.
14And two wings of the Nesher hagadol (great Eagle) were given to the ISHA that she might fly to her place in the midbar, where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time, away from the presence of the NACHASH (Serpent).#12:14 Ex 19:4; Dan 7:25; 12:7
15And the NACHASH spewed mayim (water) after the ISHA from its mouth as a river, that he might make her carried away by a river.
16And ha'aretz (the earth) aided the ISHA and ha'aretz opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the Dragon NACHASH spewed out of its mouth.
17And the Dragon NACHASH had great ka'as (anger) at the ISHA and went away to make milchamah with the rest of her ZERA#12:17 Gn 3:15; Isa 53:10 (seed), the ones keeping the mitzvot of Hashem and having the eidus (testimony),#12:17 See eidus, edus, edut in the Introduction to the Book of Iyov. Witness is what these words mean, and they are transliterated variously in the OJB, also eidushaft of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
18And then the Dragon NACHASH took his stand on the seashore sand of the yam (sea).

Revelation 12
12
A woman, her child, and the dragon
1Then a great 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. 2She was pregnant, and she cried out because she was in labor, in pain from giving birth. 3Then another sign appeared in heaven: it was a great fiery red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. 4His tail swept down a third of heaven’s stars and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth so that when she gave birth, he might devour her child. 5She gave birth to a son, a male child who is to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was snatched up to God and his throne. 6Then the woman fled into the desert, where God has prepared a place for her. There she will be taken care of for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
Michael and the dragon
7Then there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, 8but they did not prevail, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9So the great dragon was thrown down. The old snake, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to the earth; and his angels were thrown down with him. 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say,
“Now the salvation and power and kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ have come.
The accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them day and night before our God,
has been thrown down.
11They gained the victory over him on account of the blood of the Lamb
and the word of their witness.
Love for their own lives didn’t make them afraid to die.
12Therefore, rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them.
But oh! The horror for the earth and sea!
The devil has come down to you with great rage,
for he knows that he only has a short time.”
The dragon pursues the woman
13When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he chased the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle so that she could fly to her place in the desert. There she would be taken care of—out of the snake’s reach—for a time and times and half a time. 15Then from his mouth the snake poured a river of water after the woman so that the river would sweep her away. 16But the earth helped the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon poured out of his mouth. 17So the dragon was furious with the woman, and he went off to make war on the rest of her children, on those who keep God’s commandments and hold firmly to the witness of Jesus.
The beast from the sea
18Then the dragon stood on the seashore,
