← Revelation 12:4	Revelation 12:5 (KJV)	Revelation 12:6 →
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.	And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.	And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.

In the comparative case, it denotes essentially the same applications, namely, motion towards, accession to, or nearness at.
