Revelation 12:3-5

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Sign 2: A Red Dragon Tries To Devour The Woman And Her Newborn Son, But Fails

³ And another sign appeared in heaven. And behold— there was a great fire-red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems^[a] on his heads. ⁴ And his tail sweeps-away^[b] a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon is standing before the woman being about to give-birth, in order that when she gives-birth he might devour her child. ⁵ And she gave-birth to a Son, a male Child, Who is going to shepherd^[c] all the nations with an iron rod. And her Child was snatched-up to God, and to His throne.
