Revelation 12:6

12:6 and she ¹  fled into the wilderness ²  where a place had been prepared for her ³  by God, so she could be taken care of ⁴  for 1,260 days.

Revelation 21:25

21:25 Its gates will never be closed during the day ⁵  (and ⁶  there will be no night there). ⁷ 

Revelation 2:14

2:14 But I have a few things against you: You have some people there who follow the teaching of Balaam, ⁸  who instructed Balak to put a stumbling block ⁹  before the people ¹⁰  of Israel so they would eat food sacrificed to idols and commit sexual immorality. ¹¹ 

Revelation 12:14

12:14 But ¹²  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ¹³  to the place God ¹⁴  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ¹⁵ 

[12:6]  ¹ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ² tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ³ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[21:25]  ⁵ tn On the translation “during the day” see BDAG 436 s.v. ἡμέρα 1.a, “But also, as in Thu. et al., of time within which someth. occurs, ἡμέρας during the day Rv 21:25.”

[21:25]  ⁶ tn The Greek connective γάρ (gar) most often expresses some sort of causal connection. However, in this context there is no causal force to the second phrase; γάρ simply expresses continuation or connection. Because of this it has been translated as “and.” See BDAG 189-90 s.v. 2.

[21:25]  ⁷ tn The clause has virtually the force of a parenthetical comment.

[2:14]  ⁹ sn See Num 22-24; 31:16.

[2:14]  ¹⁰ tn That is, a cause for sinning. An alternate translation is “who instructed Balak to cause the people of Israel to sin by eating food sacrificed to idols…”

[2:14]  ¹¹ tn Grk “sons,” but the expression υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραήλ (Juioi Israhl) is an idiom for the people of Israel as an ethnic entity (see L&N 11.58).

[2:14]  ¹² tn Due to the actual events in the OT (Num 22-24; 31:16), πορνεῦσαι (porneusai) is taken to mean “sexual immorality.” BDAG 854 s.v. πορνεύω 1 states, “engage in illicit sex, to fornicate, to whore…W. φαγεῖν εἰδωλόθυτα ‘eat meat offered to idols’ Rv 2:14, 20.”

[12:14]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:14]  ¹⁴ tn Or “desert.”

[12:14]  ¹⁵ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

[12:14]  ¹⁶ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.
