Discovery BoxRevelation 12:8-9 
Context12:8 But 1 the dragon was not strong enough to prevail, 2 so there was no longer any place left 3 in heaven for him and his angels. 4 12:9 So 5 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.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the implied contrast.
2 tn The words “to prevail” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
3 tn Grk “found.”
4 tn Grk “for them”; the referent (the dragon and his angels, v. 7) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the war in heaven.
