Revelation 1:10

1:10 I was in the Spirit ¹  on the Lord’s Day ²  when ³  I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,

Revelation 9:6

9:6 In ⁴  those days people ⁵  will seek death, but ⁶  will not be able to ⁷  find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.

Revelation 9:15

9:15 Then ⁸  the four angels who had been prepared for this ⁹  hour, day, ¹⁰  month, and year were set free to kill ¹¹  a third of humanity.

¹ tn Or “in the spirit.” “Spirit” could refer either to the Holy Spirit or the human spirit, but in either case John was in “a state of spiritual exaltation best described as a trance” (R. H. Mounce, Revelation [NICNT], 75).

² tn Concerning the phrase κυριακῇ ἡμέρᾳ (kuriakh Jhmera) BDAG 576 s.v. κυριακός states: “pert. to belonging to the Lord, the Lord’s…κ. ἡμέρᾳ the Lord’s day (Kephal. I 192, 1; 193, 31…) i.e. certainly Sunday (so in Mod. Gk….) Rv 1:10 (WStott, NTS 12, ’65, 70-75).”

³ tn The conjunction καί (kai) is not introducing a coordinate thought, but one that is logically subordinate to the main verb ἐγενόμην (egenomhn).

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn Grk “men”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here of both men and women.

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

⁷ tn The phrase “not be able to” was used in the translation to emphasize the strong negation (οὐ μή, ou mh) in the Greek text.

⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

⁸ tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.

⁹ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

¹⁰ tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.

¹⁰ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

¹¹ tn Or “desert.”

¹² tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

¹³ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”
