Revelation 16:20

16:20 Every ¹  island fled away ²  and no mountains could be found. ³ 

Revelation 6:14

6:14 The sky ⁴  was split apart ⁵  like a scroll being rolled up, ⁶  and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

[16:20]  ¹ tn Grk “And every.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:20]  ² tn Or “vanished.”

[16:20]  ³ sn Every island fled away and no mountains could be found. Major geographical and topographical changes will accompany the Day of the Lord.

[6:14]  ⁴ tn Or “The heavens were.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) can mean either “heaven” or “sky.”

[6:14]  ⁵ tn BDAG 125 s.v. ἀποχωρίζω states, “ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη the sky was split Rv 6:14.” Although L&N 79.120 gives the meaning “the sky disappeared like a rolled-up scroll” here, a scroll that is rolled up does not “disappear,” and such a translation could be difficult for modern readers to understand.

[6:14]  ⁶ tn On this term BDAG 317 s.v. ἑλίσσω states, “ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον like a scroll that is rolled up…Rv 6:14.”
