Revelation 12:15

12:15 Then ¹  the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to ²  sweep her away by a flood,

Revelation 20:2

20:2 He ³  seized the dragon – the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan – and tied him up for a thousand years.

Revelation 12:9

12:9 So ⁴  that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.

Revelation 12:14

12:14 But ⁵  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ⁶  to the place God ⁷  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ⁸

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

² tn Grk “so that he might make her swept away.”

³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the war in heaven.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

⁶ tn Or “desert.”

⁷ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

⁸ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.

sn The parallel statement in Rev 12:6 suggests that the phrase a time, times, and half a time equals 1,260 days (three and a half years of 360 days each).
