[1][12:6] A great thing is seen again in the heavens: a woman clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
[2][12:7] She was with child and crying out, sat upon the birthing seat, and was in great pain because of her labor.
[3][12:8] Then there was another wonder in the heavens: I saw a dragon,ⓘ and he had seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads were seven crowns.
[4][12:9] His tail took a third of the stars and threw them to the earth. Then the dragonⓘ stepped in front of the woman giving birth, in order to consume the male child being born of the mother.
[5][12:10] She gave birth to a son who leads the nations with a rod of iron.ⓘ And he is taken before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and His throne.
[6][12:11] Because it was prepared for her by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the woman walked the wilderness, in the place there supporting her, one thousand two hundred sixty days.
[7][12:12] Then war was made in the heavens. The messenger Michael and his messengers fought the dragonⓘ and his messengers; they fought with them.
[8][12:13] They did not prevail, so their place was not found in heaven any longer.
[9][12:14] And the great dragonⓘ—called Satan the Destroyer, the inciter of the entire world—was cast out. Him with his messengers were thrown to the earth, to dwell there.
[10][12:15a] [There are two possible translations for the given text:]ⓘ
Translation #1: I heard a great voice in the heavens that said, "Now we will see again the mighty works of our Elohim and His Meshiach, because he (Satan) was their adversary the entire time."
Translation #2: I heard a great voice in heaven that said, "Now the mighty deeds were seen of our Elohim and His Meshiach, because having been the adversary from all time, they are cast out."
[11][12:15b] They prevailed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimonies, and they count their lives as nothing.
[12][12:16] So, rejoice, heavens and everything in it, but woe to those dwelling on land and sea! Satan is coming down to you with the fierceness of great anger, for he knows his time is shortened!
[13][12:17] Because the dragonⓘ saw that he was thrown to the earth, purses the woman who gave birth.
[14][12:18a] Then the woman is given two wings like a great eagle.340 She walks to the wilderness in a place belonging to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 supporting her there, away from the dragonⓘ, for a season and two and one-half seasons.
[15][12:18b] From his mouth the dragonⓘ cast waters behind her like a great sea, so to silence her.
[16][12:19] But because he opened his mouth and swallowed the waters the dragonⓘ cast behind her, the earth delivered the woman.
[17][12:20] The dragonⓘ, filled with anger for the woman, goes to war with the remnant of her seed—those doing the commands of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and believing in the testimony of His Meshiach.345
