Contextual Overview

¹Then an amazing sight was seen in the sky. A lady with a dress like the sun was standing on top of the moon with a crown of twelve stars. ²She cried out with the pain of childbirth as her time was near. ³Another amazing sight appeared in the sky. A monstrous red dragon took flight. It had seven heads and ten Watusi horns. Each head wore its own crown. ⁴The dragon's tail swept one third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. It stood in front of the woman with saliva falling out of its mouth waiting to devour her child the second it was born. ⁵The lady gave birth to a king. This king will rule forever with an iron rod. Before the dragon could devour the boy, he was taken quickly to the throne of God. ⁶The lady was secreted away to a place in the desert that God had prepared for her. She will stay there and be guarded for 1,260 days. ⁷Then war broke out in heaven. The boss angel, Michael, along with his angels, battled against the dragon and its angels. ⁸The dragon was defeated and it was kicked out of heaven with the other angels who had fought at its side. ⁹The huge dragon was thrown out. You know the dragon as that ancient snake, the devil, or Satan, the deceiver of the world. He was thrown down to earth and all his angels fell with him. ¹⁰Then a booming voice from heaven said, "Salvation and power has come! God has shown his power as King and the authority of his Messiah. The accuser of man has been cast down out of heaven.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And prevailed not,.... That is, the dragon, or the devil, and his angels, prevailed not against Michael and his angels; but, on the other hand, were conquered by them, as the above tyrants were by Constantine and Theodosius: some copies read in the singular number, "and he prevailed not", as the Alexandrian copy, the Complutensian edition the Arabic and Ethiopic versions; and other copies in the plural number, "they prevailed not": and as the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions:

neither was their place found any more in heaven; in the Roman empire; or "his place", as some copies and versions: this was the time of the judgment of the world, or of the empire as Pagan; Satan the prince of the world, who had long governed in it, was now cast out of all power and authority in it, and all the idol gods in whom he was worshipped, with all the idolatrous priests; nor were there any more any Heathen emperors, for after Constantine's time there was only Julian the apostate, and who reigned but a little while; and after Theodosius, who cleared the empire of Paganism, there never was any, and there is reason to believe there never will be.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And prevailed not - Satan and his angels failed in their purpose.

Neither was their place found any more in heaven - They were cast out, and were seen there no more. The idea is, that they were defeated and driven away, though for a time they were suffered to carry on the warfare elsewhere.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

NOTES ON CHAP. XII., BY J. E. C.

Verse Revelation 12:8. And prevailed not — Against the cause of Christianity.

Neither was their place found any more in heaven. — The advocates of the heathen idolatry were prevented from having any farther share in the government of the empire. The wonderful success of Constantine over all his enemies, and his final triumph over Licinius, correspond exactly to the symbolical language in this verse.
