| Revelation 12:1 12 A spectacular sign appeared in the sky: There was a woman who was dressed in the sun, who had the moon under her feet and a crown of 12 stars on her head. | Psalm 104:2 2 You cover yourself with light as though it were a robe. You stretch out the heavens as though they were curtains. Song of Solomon 6:10 10 Who is this young woman? She looks like the dawn. She is beautiful like the moon, pure like the sun, awe-inspiring like those heavenly bodies. Isaiah 66:7 7 Before a woman goes into labor, she gives birth. Before she has labor pains, she delivers a child. Micah 4:9-10 9 Now why are you crying so loudly? Don’t you have a king? Has your counselor died? Pain grips you like a woman in labor. 10 Daughter of Zion, writhe in pain and groan like a woman in labor. Now you will leave the city, live in the open fields, and go to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There Yahweh will reclaim you from your enemies. Matthew 24:30 30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory. Galatians 4:26 26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. |
| Revelation 12:2 2 She was pregnant. She cried out from labor pains and the agony of giving birth. | Isaiah 26:17 17 O Yahweh, when we are with you, we are like pregnant women ready to give birth. They writhe and cry out in their labor pains. Isaiah 30:6 6 This is the divine revelation about the animals in the Negev. “My people travel through lands where they experience distress and hardship. Lions and lionesses live there. Vipers and poisonous snakes live there. They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels to a nation that can’t help them. Isaiah 66:6-9 6 Listen to the uproar from the city. Listen to the sound from the temple. It is the sound of Yahweh paying back his enemies as they deserve. 7 Before a woman goes into labor, she gives birth. Before she has labor pains, she delivers a child. 8 Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in one day? Can a nation be born in a moment? When Zion went into labor, she also gave birth to her children. 9 “Do I bring a mother to the moment of birth and not let her deliver?” asks Yahweh. “Do I cause a mother to deliver and then make her unable to have children?” asks your Elohim. Hosea 13:13 13 They have the opportunity to live again, but they are not smart enough to take it. They are like a baby who is about to be born but won’t come out of its mother’s womb. Micah 4:9 9 Now why are you crying so loudly? Don’t you have a king? Has your counselor died? Pain grips you like a woman in labor. Micah 5:3 3 That is why Yahweh will abandon Israel until the time a mother has a child. Then the rest of Yahweh’s people will return to the people of Israel. Matthew 24:30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory. John 16:21 21 A woman has pain when her time to give birth comes. But after the child is born, she doesn’t remember the pain anymore because she’s happy that a child has been brought into the world. |
| Revelation 12:3 3 Another sign appeared in the sky: a huge fiery red serpent with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on its heads. | Isaiah 27:1 27 On that day Yahweh will use his fierce and powerful sword to punish Leviathan,[a] that slippery snake, Leviathan, that twisting snake. He will kill that monster which lives in the sea. Daniel 7:7 7 After this, I saw a fourth animal in my vision during the night. It was terrifying, dreadful, extraordinarily strong, and had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed its victims and trampled whatever was left. It acted differently from all the other animals that I had seen before. It had ten horns. Daniel 7:20 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that had come up and made three of the horns fall out. That horn had eyes and a mouth that spoke impressive things. It appeared to be bigger than the others. Revelation 17:9-10 9 “In this situation a wise mind is needed. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is sitting. 10 They are also seven kings. Five of them have fallen, one is ruling now, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must remain for a little while. |
| Revelation 12:4 4 Its tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky and threw them down to earth. The serpent stood in front of the woman who was going to give birth so that it could devour her child when it was born. | Daniel 8:10 10 It continued to gain power until it reached the army of heaven. It threw some of the army of heaven, the stars, down on the ground and trampled them. Isaiah 27:1 The Lord’s People Will Worship on His Holy Mountain 27 On that day Yahweh will use his fierce and powerful sword to punish Leviathan,[a] that slippery snake, Leviathan, that twisting snake. He will kill that monster which lives in the sea. Matthew 2:16 16 When Herod saw that the wise men had tricked him, he became furious. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys two years old and younger in or near Bethlehem. This matched the exact time he had learned from the wise men. Revelation 17:18 18 The woman you saw is the important city which dominates the kings of the earth.” |
| Revelation 12:5 5 She gave birth to a son, a boy, who is to rule all the nations with an iron scepter. Her child was snatched away and taken to God and to his throne. | Psalm 2:9 9 You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like pottery.”10 Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth! Isaiah 66:7 7 Before a woman goes into labor, she gives birth. Before she has labor pains, she delivers a child. 2 Corinthians 12:2 2 I know a follower of Christ who was snatched away to the third heaven fourteen years ago. I don’t know whether this happened to him physically or spiritually. Only God knows. Revelation 14:15 15 Another angel came out of the temple. He cried out in a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, “Swing your sickle, and gather the harvest. The time has come to gather it, because the harvest on the earth is overripe.” |
| Revelation 12:6 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. | Ezekiel 20:35 35 I will bring you into the desert of the nations. There I will put you on trial face to face. Daniel 7:25 25 He will speak against the Elyonin, oppress the holy people of the Illah-ah, and plan to change the appointed times and laws. The holy people will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half of a time. Revelation 12:14 14 The woman was given the two wings of the large eagle in order to fly away from the snake to her place in the wilderness, where she could be taken care of for a time, times, and half a time. |
| Revelation 12:7 7 Then a war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels had to fight a war with the serpent. The serpent and its angels fought. | Daniel 7:8 8 While I was thinking about the horns, another horn, a little horn, came up among them. It uprooted three of the other horns. This horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that spoke impressive things. Daniel 10:13 13 The commander of the Persian kingdom opposed me for 21 days. But then Michael, one of the chief commanders, came to help me because I was left alone with the kings of Persia. Daniel 10:21 21 However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the true writings. No one will support me when I fight these commanders except your commander, Michael. Daniel 12:1 12 The person who looked like a human continued, “At that time Michael, the great commander, will stand up on behalf of the descendants of your people. It will be a time of trouble unlike any that has existed from the time there have been nations until that time. But at that time your people, everyone written in the book, will be rescued. Daniel 12:7 7 I heard the man dressed in linen clothes who was above the river. He raised his right hand and left hand to heaven and swore an oath by the one who lives forever. He said, “It will be for a time, times, and half of a time. When the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, then all these things will be finished.” Matthew 25:41 41 “Then the king will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me! God has cursed you! Go into everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels! Jude 9 9 When the archangel Michael argued with the devil, they were arguing over the body of Moses. But Michael didn’t dare to hand down a judgment against the devil. Instead, Michael said, “May the Lord reprimand you!” Revelation 20:2 2 He overpowered the serpent, that ancient snake, named Devil and Satan. The angel chained up the serpent for 1,000 years. |
| Revelation 12:9 9 The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth. Its angels were thrown down with it. | Genesis 3:1 3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made. He asked the woman, “Did Elohim really say, ‘You must never eat the fruit of any tree in the garden’?” Job 1:9 9 Satan answered Yahweh, “Haven’t you given Job a reason to fear Elohim? Isaiah 27:1 27 On that day Yahweh will use his fierce and powerful sword to punish Leviathan,[a] that slippery snake, Leviathan, that twisting snake. He will kill that monster which lives in the sea. Daniel 12:1 12 The person who looked like a human continued, “At that time Michael, the great commander, will stand up on behalf of the descendants of your people. It will be a time of trouble unlike any that has existed from the time there have been nations until that time. But at that time your people, everyone written in the book, will be rescued. Matthew 4:10 10 Yeshua said to him, “Go away, Satan! Scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” Matthew 25:41 41 “Then the king will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me! God has cursed you! Go into everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels! Luke 10:18 18 Yeshua said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. John 12:31 31 “This world is being judged now. The ruler of this world will be thrown out now. 2 Corinthians 11:3 3 However, I’m afraid that as the snake deceived Eve by its tricks, so your minds may somehow be lured away from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. Revelation 20:3 3 He threw it into the bottomless pit. The angel shut and sealed the pit over the serpent to keep it from deceiving the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were over. After that it must be set free for a little while. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 13 People who brag like this are false apostles. They are dishonest workers, since they disguise themselves as Christ’s apostles. 14 And no wonder, even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it’s not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants who have God’s approval. In the end they will get what they deserve. 2 John 1:7 7 Many people who deceive others have gone into the world. They refuse to declare that Yeshua Christ came in flesh and blood. This is the mark of a deceiver and an antichrist. |
| Revelation 12:10 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, power, kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah have come. The one accusing our brothers and sisters, the one accusing them day and night in the presence of our God, has been thrown out. | Job 1:11 11 But now stretch out your hand, and strike everything he has. I bet he’ll curse you to your face.” Job 2:5 5 But stretch out your hand, and strike his flesh and bones. I bet he’ll curse you to your face.” Zechariah 3:1 The Lord Will Send His Servant, the Branch 3 Then he showed me Joshua, the chief priest, standing in front of the Messenger of Yahweh. Satan the Accuser was standing at Joshua’s right side to accuse him. Luke 22:31 Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial 31 Then the Lord said, “Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to have you apostles for himself. He wants to separate you from me as a farmer separates wheat from husks. 1 Peter 5:8 8 Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour. Revelation 11:2 2 But do not measure the temple courtyard. Leave that out, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. Revelation 19:11 11 I saw heaven standing open. There was a white horse, and its rider is named Faithful and True. With integrity he judges and wages war. |
| Revelation 12:11 11 They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life so much that they refused to give it up. | Luke 14:26 26 “If people come to me and are not ready to abandon their fathers, mothers, wives, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as their own lives, they cannot be my disciples. John 16:33 33 I’ve told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you’ll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world.” 1 John 2:13 13 I’m writing to you, fathers, because you know Christ who has existed from the beginning. I’m writing to you, young people, because you have won the victory over the evil one. Revelation 6:9-11 9 When the lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had given about him. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Holy and true Master, how long before you judge and take revenge on those living on earth who shed our blood?” 11 Each of the souls was given a white robe. They were told to rest a little longer until all their coworkers, the other Christians, would be killed as they had been killed. |
| Revelation 12:12 Be glad for this reason, heavens and those who live in them. How horrible it is for the earth and the sea because the Devil has come down to them with fierce anger, knowing that he has little time left.” | Psalm 96:11 11 Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad. Let the sea and everything in it roar like thunder. Isaiah 44:23 23 Sing with joy, you heavens, because Yahweh has done this. Rejoice, you deep places of the earth. Break into shouts of joy, you mountains, you forests and every tree in them. Yahweh has reclaimed Jacob. He will display his glory in Israel. Revelation 18:20 20 “Gloat over it, heaven, God’s people, apostles, and prophets. God has condemned it for you.” |
| Revelation 12:14 14 The woman was given the two wings of the large eagle in order to fly away from the snake to her place in the wilderness, where she could be taken care of for a time, times, and half a time. | Exodus 19:4 4 ‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to my mountain. Deuteronomy 32:11 11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads its wings to catch them, and carries them on its feathers, Isaiah 21:1 21 This is the divine revelation about the desert by the sea. Like a storm sweeping through the Negev, an invader will come from the desert, from a terrifying land. Isaiah 40:31 31 Yet, the strength of those who wait with hope in Yahweh will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won’t become weary. They will walk and won’t grow tired. Daniel 7:25 25 He will speak against the Elyonin, oppress the holy people of the Illah-ah, and plan to change the appointed times and laws. The holy people will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half of a time. Daniel 12:7 7 I heard the man dressed in linen clothes who was above the river. He raised his right hand and left hand to heaven and swore an oath by the one who lives forever. He said, “It will be for a time, times, and half of a time. When the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, then all these things will be finished.” Matthew 24:28 28 Vultures will gather wherever there is a dead body. Revelation 12:6 6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where God had prepared a place for her so that she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. |
| Revelation 12:15 15 The snake’s mouth poured out a river of water behind the woman in order to sweep her away.. | Genesis 3:1 3 The snake was more clever than all the wild animals Yahweh Elohim had made. He asked the woman, “Did Elohim really say, ‘You must never eat the fruit of any tree in the g Isaiah 57:19-20 19 I’ll create praise on their lips: “Perfect peace to those both far and near.” “I’ll heal them,” says Yahweh. 20 But the wicked are like the churning sea. It isn’t quiet, and its water throws up mud and slime. Exodus 39:11 11 In the second row they put turquoise, sapphire, and crystal. |
| Revelation 12:16 16 The earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river which had poured out of the serpent’s mouth. | Genesis 4:11 11 So now you are cursed from the ground, which has received the blood of your brother whom you killed. |
| Revelation 12:17 17 The serpent became angry with the woman. So it went away to fight with her other children, the ones who keep God’s commands and hold on to the testimony of Yeshua. | Genesis 3:15 15 I will make you and the woman hostile toward each other. I will make your descendants and her descendant hostile toward each other. He will crush your head, and you will bruise his heel.” Isaiah 8:16-18 16 Tie up the written instructions. Seal the teachings among my disciples. 17 I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the descendants of Jacob. I will hope in him. 18 I am here with the children that Yahweh has given me. We are signs and symbols in Israel from Yahweh Tsebaoth, who lives on Mount Zion. Matthew 5:18 18 I can guarantee this truth: Until the earth and the heavens disappear, neither a period nor a comma will disappear from the Scriptures before everything has come true. 1 Timothy 6:14 14 I insist that, until our Lord Yeshua Christ appears, you obey this command completely. Then you cannot be blamed for doing anything wrong. 1 John 2:13 13 I’m writing to you, fathers, because you know Christ who has existed from the beginning. I’m writing to you, young people, because you have won the victory over the evil one. Revelation 14:12 12 In this situation God’s holy people, who obey his commands and keep their faith in Yeshua, need endurance. Revelation 22:14 14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. |
