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
Two Signs
1A spectacular sign appeared in the sky: There was a woman who was dressed in the sun, who had the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. 2She was pregnant. She cried out from labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
3Another sign appeared in the sky: a huge fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on its heads. 4Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born. 5She gave birth to a son, a boy, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne. 6Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
7Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels had to fight a war with the serpent. The serpent and its angels fought. 8But it was not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth. Its angels were thrown down with it.
10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying,
“Now the salvation, power, kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah have come.
The one accusing our brothers and sisters,
the one accusing them day and night in the presence of our God,
has been thrown out.
11They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb
and the word of their testimony.
They didn’t love their life so much that they refused to give it up.
12Be glad for this reason, heavens and those who live in them.
How horrible it is for the earth and the sea
because the Devil has come down to them with fierce anger,
knowing that he has little time left.”
13When the serpent saw that it had been thrown down to earth, it persecuted the woman who had given birth to the boy. 14The woman was given the two wings of the large eagle in order to fly away from the snake to her place in the wilderness, where she could be taken care of for a time, times, and half a time. 15The snake’s mouth poured out a river of water behind the woman in order to sweep her away. 16The earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river which had poured out of the serpent’s mouth. 17The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God’s commands and hold on to the testimony of Jesus.
18The serpent stood on the sandy shore of the sea.#12:18 Some translations include this verse at the beginning of 13:1.
