Apocalipse 12
12
A mulher e o dragão
1Então foi visto no céu um grande sinal: uma mulher vestida do sol, com a lua sob os pés e uma coroa de doze estrelas na cabeça. 2Estava grávida e gritava por causa das dores de parto e da agonia de dar à luz.
3Outro sinal foi visto no céu: um enorme dragão vermelho com sete cabeças e dez chifres, e sete coroas nas cabeças. 4Com a cauda, arrastou um terço das estrelas do céu e as lançou na terra. E, quando a mulher estava para dar à luz, o dragão parou diante dela, pronto para devorar a criança tão logo ela nascesse.
5A mulher deu à luz um filho, que governará todas as nações com cetro de ferro, e ele foi arrebatado para junto de Deus e de seu trono. 6A mulher fugiu para o deserto, onde Deus havia preparado um lugar para cuidar dela durante 1.260 dias.
7Houve guerra no céu. Miguel e seus anjos lutaram contra o dragão e seus anjos. 8O dragão perdeu a batalha, e ele e seus anjos foram expulsos do céu. 9Esse enorme dragão, a antiga serpente chamada diabo ou Satanás, que engana o mundo todo, foi lançado na terra com seus anjos.
10Então ouvi uma forte voz que bradava pelos céus:
“Finalmente chegaram
a salvação, o poder,
o reino de nosso Deus
e a autoridade de seu Cristo.#12.10 Ou Messias.
Porque foi lançado para a terra
o acusador de nossos irmãos,
aquele que dia e noite os acusa
diante de nosso Deus.
11Eles o derrotaram pelo sangue do Cordeiro
e pelo testemunho deles.
Não amaram a própria vida
nem mesmo diante da morte.
12Portanto, alegrem-se, ó céus,
e vocês que habitam nos céus!
Sobre a terra e o mar, porém, virá terror,
pois o diabo desceu até vocês com grande fúria,
sabendo que lhe resta pouco tempo”.
13Quando o dragão percebeu que havia sido lançado na terra, perseguiu a mulher que tinha dado à luz o menino. 14Ela, porém, recebeu duas asas como as de uma grande águia, para que voasse ao lugar preparado para ela no deserto. Ali, será sustentada e protegida da serpente durante um tempo, tempos e metade de um tempo.#12.14 Ou três anos e meio. Ver Dn 7.25.
15Então a serpente, com uma torrente de água que fez sair de sua boca, tentou afogar a mulher. 16Mas a terra ajudou a mulher, abrindo a boca e engolindo o rio que havia jorrado da boca do dragão. 17O dragão se enfureceu com a mulher e passou a lutar contra o restante de seus filhos, todos os que obedecem aos mandamentos de Deus e se mantêm fiéis no testemunho de Jesus.
18Então o dragão se colocou em pé#12.18 Em grego, ele se colocou em pé; alguns manuscritos trazem eu me coloquei em pé. Em algumas traduções, toda a frase aparece em 13.1. na praia, junto ao mar.

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.
