Revelation 12:4

Context
12:4 Now 1  the dragon’s 2  tail swept away a third of the stars in heaven and hurled them to the earth. Then 3  the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate that this remark is virtually parenthetical.

2 tn Grk “its”; the referent (the dragon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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