Wahyu 12:9

12:9 So ¹  that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.

Wahyu 12:12

12:12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!

But ²  woe to the earth and the sea

because the devil has come down to you!

He ³  is filled with terrible anger,

for he knows that he only has a little time!”

Wahyu 20:2

20:2 He ⁴  seized the dragon – the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan – and tied him up for a thousand years.

Wahyu 20:10

20:10 And the devil who deceived ⁵  them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, ⁶  where the beast and the false prophet are ⁷  too, and they will be tormented there day and night forever and ever.

[12:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the result of the war in heaven.

[12:12]  ² tn The word “But” is not in the Greek text, but the contrast is clearly implied. This is a case of asyndeton (lack of a connective).

[12:12]  ³ tn Grk “and is filled,” a continuation of the previous sentence. Because English tends to use shorter sentences (especially when exclamations are involved), a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[20:2]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:10]  ⁵ tn Or “misled.”

[20:10]  ⁶ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[20:10]  ⁷ tn The verb in this clause is elided. In keeping with the previous past tenses some translations supply a past tense verb here (“were”), but in view of the future tense that follows (“they will be tormented”), a present tense verb was used to provide a transition from the previous past tense to the future tense that follows.
