여자와 아이

12 그리고 하늘에 아주 신기한 광경이 나타났습니다. 한 여자가 해를 옷처 럼 입고 발로 달을 밟고 머리에는 열두 별이 빛나는 관을 쓰고 있었습니다.

임신중인 이 여자는 곧 해산하게 되어 아파서 부르짖었습니다.

하늘에는 또 다른 신기한 광경이 나타났습니다. 이번에는 거대한 붉은 용이 보이는데 머리가 일곱이고 뿔이 열이며 머리마다 왕관을 쓰고 있었습니다.

용은 그 꼬리로 하늘의 별 3분의 을 끌어다가 땅에 던졌으며 또 해산하려는 여자 앞에 서서 아기를 낳기만 하면 잡아 삼키려고 하였습니다.

드디어 여자가 아들을 낳았습니다. 그 아기는 장차 놀라운 권세로 모든 나라를 다스릴 분이었습니다. 갑자기 그 아기는 하나님과 그분의 보좌가 있는 곳으로 들려 올라갔습니다.

그리고 그 여자는 광야로 도망쳤는데 거기에는 1,260일 동안 그녀를 보살피도록 하나님께서 마련하신 곳이 있었습니다.

그때 하늘에는 전쟁이 있었습니다. 미가엘과 그의 천사들이 용을 대항하여 싸우고 용도 자기 부하들을 거느리고 맞서 싸웠습니다.

그러나 용과 그 부하들은 전쟁에 패하여 하늘에서 있을 곳조차 없게 되었습니다.

온 세상을 유혹하는 늙은 뱀, 곧 마귀라고도 하고 사탄이라고도 하는 그 큰 용이 땅으로 내어쫓기자 그의 부하들도 그와 함께 쫓겨났습니다.

10 그때 나는 하늘에서 큰 소리로 이렇게 말하는 것을 들었습니다. “이제야 우리 하나님의 구원과 능력과 나라와 그리스도의 권능이 나타났다. 우리 하나님 앞에서 밤낮 우리 형제들을 고소하던 자가 이제 쫓겨났다.

11 형제들이 어린 양의 피와 그들이 증거하는 말씀으로 그 고소자를 이겼으니 그들은 죽기까지 자기 생명을 아끼지 않았다.

12 그러므로 너희 하늘과 하늘에 사는 자들은 즐거워하라. 그러나 땅과 바다에는 재난이 닥칠 것이다. 마귀는 제때가 얼마 남지 않은 것을 알고 몹시 화가 나서 너희에게 내려갔다.”

13 용은 자기가 땅으로 쫓겨난 것을 알고 남자 아이를 낳은 여자를 괴롭혔습니다.

14 그러나 그 여자는 뱀의 낯을 피하여 [a]3년 반 동안 보살핌을 받을 광야의 자기 처소로 날아가도록 큰 독수리의 두 날개를 받았습니다.

15 그러자 뱀은 그 여자의 뒤에서 입으로 물을 강같이 토해 내어 그녀를 휩쓸어 버리려고 하였습니다.

16 그러나 땅이 입을 벌려 용이 토해 낸 강물을 삼켜 그 여자를 도왔습니다.

17 그러자 용은 몹시 화가 나서 하나님의 계명을 지키고 예수님이 증거하신 것을 충실히 따르는 그 여자의 남은 후손들과 싸우려고 나가서

18 바닷가 모래 위에 섰습니다.

  1. 12:14 또는 ‘한 때와 두 때와 반 때’

The Woman and the Dragon

12 A great sign(A) appeared in heaven:(B) a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars(C) on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain(D) as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven:(E) an enormous red dragon(F) with seven heads(G) and ten horns(H) and seven crowns(I) on its heads. Its tail swept a third(J) of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth.(K) The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child(L) the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a](M) And her child was snatched up(N) to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.(O)

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael(P) and his angels fought against the dragon,(Q) and the dragon and his angels(R) fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent(S) called the devil,(T) or Satan,(U) who leads the whole world astray.(V) He was hurled to the earth,(W) and his angels with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven(X) say:

“Now have come the salvation(Y) and the power
    and the kingdom of our God,
    and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,(Z)
    who accuses them before our God day and night,
    has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over(AA) him
    by the blood of the Lamb(AB)
    and by the word of their testimony;(AC)
they did not love their lives so much
    as to shrink from death.(AD)
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens(AE)
    and you who dwell in them!
But woe(AF) to the earth and the sea,(AG)
    because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
    because he knows that his time is short.”

13 When the dragon(AH) saw that he had been hurled to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.(AI) 14 The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle,(AJ) so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time,(AK) out of the serpent’s reach. 15 Then from his mouth the serpent(AL) spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war(AM) against the rest of her offspring(AN)—those who keep God’s commands(AO) and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.(AP)

  1. Revelation 12:5 Psalm 2:9

12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Woman, the Child, and the Dragon

12 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out (A)in labor and in pain to give birth.

And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, (B)a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. (C)His tail drew a third (D)of the stars of heaven (E)and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood (F)before the woman who was ready to give birth, (G)to devour her Child as soon as it was born. She bore a male Child (H)who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was (I)caught up to God and His throne. Then (J)the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there (K)one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

And war broke out in heaven: (L)Michael and his angels fought (M)with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they [a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for [b]them in heaven any longer. So (N)the great dragon was cast out, (O)that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, (P)who deceives the whole world; (Q)he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, (R)“Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, (S)who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. 11 And (T)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, (U)and they did not love their lives to the death. 12 Therefore (V)rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! (W)Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, (X)because he knows that he has a short time.”

The Woman Persecuted

13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted (Y)the woman who gave birth to the male Child. 14 (Z)But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, (AA)that she might fly (AB)into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished (AC)for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent (AD)spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus [c]Christ.
