Revelation 11:15
Context11:15 Then 1 the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:

Revelation 12:10
Context12:10 Then 3 I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority 4 of his Christ, 5 have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters, 6
the one who accuses them day and night 7 before our God,
has been thrown down.
[11:15] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[11:15] 2 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
[12:10] 3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[12:10] 4 tn Or “the right of his Messiah to rule.” See L&N 37.35.
[12:10] 5 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
[12:10] 6 tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). The translation “fellow believer” would normally apply (L&N 11.23), but since the speaker(s) are not specified in this context, it is not clear if such a translation would be appropriate here. The more generic “brothers and sisters” was chosen to emphasize the fact of a relationship without specifying its type.
