Revelation 5:3

5:3 But ¹  no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

Revelation 10:5

10:5 Then ²  the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven

Revelation 14:20

14:20 Then ³  the winepress was stomped ⁴  outside the city, and blood poured out of the winepress up to the height of horses’ bridles ⁵  for a distance of almost two hundred miles. ⁶ 

Revelation 17:2

17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality and the earth’s inhabitants got drunk with the wine of her immorality.” ⁷ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

⁴ sn The winepress was stomped. See Isa 63:3, where Messiah does this alone (usually several individuals would join in the process).

⁵ tn L&N 6.7 states, “In Re 14:20 the reference to a bit and bridle is merely an indication of measurement, that is to say, the height of the bit and bridle from the ground, and one may reinterpret this measurement as ‘about a meter and a half’ or ‘about five feet.’”

⁶ tn Grk “1,600 stades.” A stade was a measure of length about 607 ft (185 m). Thus the distance here would be 184 mi or 296 km.

⁴ tn This is the same word translated “sexual immorality” earlier in the verse, but here the qualifier “sexual” has not been repeated for stylistic reasons.
