Revelation 12:3

Context
12:3 Then 1  another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns. 2 

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

2 tn For the translation of διάδημα (diadhma) as “diadem crown” see L&N 6.196.

sn Diadem crowns were a type of crown used as a symbol of the highest ruling authority in a given area, and thus often associated with kingship.
