12:13 Now 1 when the dragon realized 2 that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 12:14 But 3 the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, 4 to the place God 5 prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. 6 12:15 Then 7 the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to 8 sweep her away by a flood, 12:16 but 9 the earth came to her rescue; 10 the ground opened up 11 and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth. 12:17 So 12 the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, 13 those who keep 14 God’s commandments and hold to 15 the testimony about Jesus. 16 (12:18) And the dragon 17 stood 18 on the sand 19 of the seashore. 20
