11:19 Then 3 the temple of God in heaven was opened and the ark of his covenant was visible within his temple. And there were flashes of lightning, roaring, 4 crashes of thunder, an earthquake, and a great hailstorm. 5
16:17 Finally 6 the seventh angel 7 poured out his bowl into the air and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying: “It is done!”
1 tn Or “worship.” The word here is λατρεύω (latreuw).
2 tn Grk “will spread his tent over them,” normally an idiom for taking up residence with someone, but when combined with the preposition ἐπί (epi, “over”) the idea is one of extending protection or shelter (BDAG 929 s.v. σκηνόω).
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence on events within the vision.
4 tn Or “sounds,” “voices.” It is not entirely clear what this refers to. BDAG 1071 s.v. φωνή 1 states, “In Rv we have ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί (cp. Ex 19:16) 4:5; 8:5; 11:19; 16:18 (are certain other sounds in nature thought of here in addition to thunder, as e.g. the roar of the storm?…).”
5 tn Although BDAG 1075 s.v. χάλαζα gives the meaning “hail” here, it is not clear whether the adjective μεγάλη (megalh) refers to the intensity of the storm or the size of the individual hailstones, or both.
6 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “finally” to indicate the conclusion of the seven bowl judgments.
7 tn Grk “the seventh”; the referent (the seventh angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
