生子的女人和大龙

12 那时,天上出现了一个奇伟的景象:有一个妇人,身披太阳,脚踏月亮,头戴十二颗星的冠冕。 她怀了孕,在生产的痛苦中疼痛呼叫。 天上又出现了另一个景象。看哪!有一条大红龙,有七头十角,七头上戴着七个皇冠。 牠的尾巴拖着天上三分之一的星辰,把它们摔在地上。龙站在那快要生产的妇人面前,等她生产了,就要吞吃她的孩子。 她生了一个男孩子,就是将来要用铁杖治理列国的。她的孩子被提取到 神和他宝座那里去。 妇人就逃到旷野去了,那里有 神为她预备的地方。她在那里得供养一千二百六十天。

天上发生了战争:米迦勒和他的天使与龙作战。龙和牠的天使也起来应战, 龙却抵挡不住,天上再也没有牠们的地方了。 于是那大龙被摔了下来。牠就是那古蛇,名叫魔鬼,又叫撒但,是迷惑普天下的人的。牠被摔在地上,牠的天使也跟牠一同被摔了下来。 10 我又听见天上有大声音说:

“我们 神的救恩、能力、国度

和他所立的基督的权柄,

现在都已经来到了!

因为那昼夜在我们 神面前

控告我们弟兄的控告者,

已经被摔下来了!

11 弟兄胜过牠,是因着羊羔的血,

也因着自己所见证的道,

他们虽然至死,

也不爱惜自己的性命。

12 所以,众天和住在其中的,

你们都欢乐吧!

可是地和海有祸了!

因为魔鬼知道自己的时日无多,

就大大发怒下到你们那里去了。”

13 龙见自己被摔在地上,就迫害那生了男孩子的妇人。 14 于是有大鹰的两个翅膀赐给了那妇人,使她可以飞到旷野,到自己的地方,在那里得供养一年两年半年,离开那蛇的面。 15 蛇在妇人后面,从口中吐出水来,好象江河一样,要把妇人冲去。 16 地却帮助了那妇人,张开口,把从龙口中吐出来的河水吞了。 17 龙就向妇人发怒,去和她其余的子孙作战,就是和那遵守 神命令坚持耶稣见证的人作战。 18 那时,龙站在海边的沙上。

12 And an ot gadol (miraculous sign) was seen in Shomayim, an ISHA (BERESHIS 3:15) having been clothed with the shemesh (sun), and the levanah (moon) underneath the feet of her, and on the rosh of her an atarah (diadem) of kokhavim (stars) numbering Shneym Asar (Twelve), [BERESHIS 37:9]

And in her womb having a YELED (CHILD, Moshiach, YESHAYAH 9:5), and she cries out, suffering CHEVLEI and being in pain to give birth. [YESHAYAH 26:17]

And another ot (miraculous sign) was seen in Shomayim. And hinei, a great red Dragon NACHASH (BERESHIS 3:1), having sheva (seven) heads and eser (ten) horns, and on the heads of it sheva (seven) ketarim (crowns) [Dan 7:7,20].

And the tail of him drags down a third of the kokhavim (stars) of Shomayim and threw them to ha’aretz (the earth), and the Dragon NACHASH was standing before the ISHA (Woman) who was about to give birth, that when she gives birth to the YELED (CHILD, Moshiach, YESHAYAH 9:5[6]) of her, he might devour the YELED. [DANIEL 8:10]

And she gave birth to a BEN (SON, Moshiach, YESHAYAH 9:5[6]), a zachar (male), who is about to shepherd all the Goyim (Nations) with a shevet barzel (scepter of iron, Ps 2:9), and the YELED of the ISHA was snatched up to Hashem and to his Kes (Throne).

And the ISHA fled into the wilderness, where she has there a place having been prepared by Hashem, that there she can be nourished a thousand two hundred and sixty yamim (days).

And there was milchamah (war) in Shomayim, Mikha’el and the malachim of him fought against the Dragon NACHASH; and the Dragon NACHASH and his malachim fought back.

But the Dragon NACHASH was not strong enough nor was any place found for them any longer in Shomayim.

And the great Dragon, that NACHASH HaKadmoni (Ancient Serpent) was thrown down, the one being called the Malshin (Informer, Accuser) and Hasatan, the one deceiving the whole inhabited world. He was thrown to ha’aretz (the earth) and the malachim of him were thrown down with him [BERESHIS 3:1-7]

10 And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice) in Shomayim, saying, “Now has come the Yeshu’at Eloheinu and the Gevurah (Power) and the Malchut of Hashem Eloheinu and the memshalah (government) of his Moshiach, because the Malshin who is the accuser of our Achim b’Moshiach, the one accusing them before Hashem yomam valailah (day and night) was thrown down [IYOV 1:9-11; ZECHARYAH 3:1]

11 And they won the nitzachon (victory) over the Dragon NACHASH because of the dahm of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:22-23; YESHAYAH 53:7, Moshiach) and because of the dvar of the eidushaft (testimony) of them and because they did not have ahavah for their neshamot unto Mavet and were willing to die al kiddush ha-Shem.

12 Therefore be glad, Shomayim, and the ones whose mishkan is there, but oy to ha’aretz (the earth) and to hayam (the sea), because Hasatan came down to you, having great ka’as (anger), having da’as that his time is short. [TEHILLIM 96:11; YESHAYAH 44:23; 49:13]

13 And when the Dragon NACHASH saw that he was thrown down to ha’aretz, he brought redifah (persecution) on the ISHA who gave birth to the zachar.

14 And two wings of the Nesher hagadol (great Eagle) were given to the ISHA that she might fly to her place in the midbar, where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time, away from the presence of the NACHASH (Serpent) . [SHEMOT 19:4; DANIEL 7:25; 12:7]

15 And the NACHASH spewed mayim (water) after the ISHA from its mouth as a river, that he might make her carried away by a river.

16 And ha’aretz (the earth) aided the ISHA and ha’aretz opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the Dragon NACHASH spewed out of its mouth.

17 And the Dragon NACHASH had great ka’as (anger) at the ISHA and went away to make milchamah with the rest of her ZERA (seed, BERESHIS 3:15, YESHAYAH 53:10), the ones keeping the mitzvot of Hashem and having the eidus (testimony, see eidus , edus, edut, p.669 transliterated variously in the OJB, also eidushaft) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

18 And then the Dragon NACHASH took his stand on the seashore sand of the yam (sea). T.N. CHAPTER 13 COULD BE TITLED: THE “NUREMBERG RALLIES” OF THE LITTLE MOUTH OF THE LITTLE HORN (DANIEL 7:8) WHO IS THE CHAYYAH (BEAST, ANTI-MOSHIACH)
