12:1-17 Satan (pictured as a dragon) plots to challenge God’s purposes but is thwarted. Having failed in direct confrontation with God and Christ, he attempts to attack God’s people. Three brief scenes present an overview of the story (12:1-6), followed by elaborations of the war in heaven (12:7-9) and the war on earth (12:13-17).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐβοήθησεν ἡ γῆ τῇ γυναικί
gave_help the earth ˱to˲_the women
John is speaking of the earth as if it were a living thing that helped this woman. This may be something that readers could understand literally within the world of this vision. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning differently. Alternate translation: “something happened on the earth that helped the woman”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἤνοιξεν ἡ γῆ τὸ στόμα αὐτῆς
opened_up the earth the mouth ˱of˲_it
John is speaking as if the earth literally had a mouth and swallowed this river. He means that some kind of chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a chasm opened up in the earth and the river flowed down into it”
