 {His tail} (h(8820)oura autou). See  9:10,19 . {Draweth}
(surei). Present active indicative of sur(935c), old verb, to
drag, here alone in the Apocalypse, but see  Joh 21:8 . {The
third part of the stars} (	o triton t(936e) aster(936e)). Like a great
comet is this monster. See  Da 8:10 . Perhaps only the third is
meant to soften the picture as in  Re 8:7f . {Did cast them}
(ebalen autous). Second aorist active indicative. Charles takes
this to refer to a war in heaven between the good angels and
Satan, with the fall of some angels ( Jude 1:6 ). But John may
have in mind the martyrs before Christ ( Heb 11:32f. ) and after
Christ's ascension ( Mt 23:35 ). {Stood} (est(886b)en). Imperfect
active of a late verb, st(886b)(935c), from the perfect hest(886b)a of
hist(886d)i, graphic picture of the dragon's challenge of the woman
who is about to give birth. {When she was delivered} (hotan
tek(8869)). Indefinite temporal clause with hotan and the second
aorist active subjunctive of 	ikt(935c), "whenever she gives birth."
{That he might devour} (hina kataphag(8869)). Purpose clause with
hina and the second aorist active subjunctive of katesthi(935c),
to eat up (down). Cf.  Jer 28:34 . This is what Pharaoh did to
Israel ( Ex 1:15-22  Ps 85:13  Isa 27:1  51:9  Eze 29:3 ).
Precisely so the devil tried to destroy the child Jesus on his
birth.
