3And another sign was seen in heaven, and behold, a great fire-colored dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems (royal crowns) upon his heads; 4And his tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them unto (into) the earth. And the dragon stands in the sight of the woman, being about to bring forth, so that when she should bring forth her child (teknon-is neuter) he might devour (eat all the way down) it.

5And she brought forth a male son, who is about to shepherd all the ethnicities with (in) a rod (staff) of iron; and her child (teknon-is neuter) was caught up (raptured) to God and to His throne. months, 3.5yrs) days. 6And the woman fled into the wilderness (desert, desolate area, uncultivated/unpopulated place, latin-solitudinem-waste root is wilderness), where she has there a place having been prepared from God, so that there they should nourish (feed to enlarge/grow) her one thousand two hundred sixty (1,260, 42 months, 3.5yrs) days.

7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against (with, after) the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred [back]; 8And he had not strength, nor was a place found for them any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast (thrown), the ancient (primitive, original, latin-antiquus-old root is antique like antiquity) serpent (ophis-snake, latin-serpens-snake), who is called the Devil, and Satan, deceiving (causing to wander, latin-seducit-seduces) the whole inhabited world; he was cast (thrown) into (unto) the earth and his angels were cast with him. 10And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now has come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser (latin-accusator-prosecutor) of our brothers has been cast (thrown), the one accusing (prosecuting) them in the sight of our God day and night. 11And they have overcome him through the blood of the Lamb, and through the word of their testimony; and they have not loved their life (soul, psychen) until (as far as) death. 12Because of this rejoice (cheer, make merry/glad) you heavens and those dwelling (tabernacle-ing, dwell as in a tent, encamp) in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you having great fury (wrath), knowing that he has a short time (opportunity)!
