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).

The Woman and the Dragon
1And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman #[Ps. 104:2] clothed with #[Song 6:10]the sun, with #[Song 6:10]the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2She was pregnant and #[Isa. 66:7-10; Mic. 4:10]was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth. 3And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great #[ch. 17:3; Isa. 27:1] red dragon, #ch. 13:1; 17:9, 12 with seven heads and #Dan. 7:7 ten horns, and on his heads #[ch. 19:12]seven diadems. 4His tail swept down #See ch. 8:7 a third of the stars of heaven and #Dan. 8:10 cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child #[Matt. 2:16]he might devour it. 5She gave birth to a male child, #Matt. 2:6; See ch. 2:27 one who is to rule#12:5 Greek shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was #See 2 Cor. 12:2caught up to God and to his throne, 6and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for #ch. 11:2; 13:51,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7Now war arose in heaven, #See Jude 9 Michael and #See Matt. 25:41his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9And #Luke 10:18; John 12:31 the great dragon was thrown down, #ch. 20:2; Gen. 3:1 that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, #ch. 20:3, 10; [ch. 13:14; John 8:44] the deceiver of the whole world—#See ch. 9:1he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now #ch. 7:10; 19:1 the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers#12:10 Or brothers and sisters has been thrown down, #Job 1:9; 2:5; Zech. 3:1who accuses them day and night before our God. 11And #ch. 15:2; [Rom. 16:20]; See John 16:33 they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for #Luke 14:26; John 12:25 they loved not their lives #ch. 2:10even unto death. 12Therefore, #ch. 18:20; Ps. 96:11; Isa. 44:23; 49:13 rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But #ch. 8:13 woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because #[Matt. 8:29]; See ch. 10:6he knows that his time is short!”
13And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued #ver. 5the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14But the woman was given the two #See Ex. 19:4 wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent #ver. 6 into the wilderness, to the place where she is to be nourished #Dan. 7:25; 12:7; See ver. 6for a time, and times, and half a time. 15The serpent poured water #[Isa. 59:19]like a river out of his mouth after the woman, to sweep her away with a flood. 16But the earth came to the help of the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth. 17Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off #ch. 11:7; 13:7 to make war on the rest of #Gen. 3:15 her offspring, #ch. 14:12; See 1 John 2:3 on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to #ch. 1:2; 6:9; 19:10the testimony of Jesus. And he stood#12:17 Some manuscripts And I stood, connecting the sentence with 13:1 on the sand of the sea.
