Revelation 16:9

16:9 Thus ¹  people ²  were scorched by the terrible heat, ³  yet ⁴  they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority ⁵  over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

Revelation 17:18

17:18 As for ⁶  the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”

13:12 He ⁷  exercised all the ruling authority ⁸  of the first beast on his behalf, ⁹  and made the earth and those who inhabit it worship the first beast, the one whose lethal wound had been healed.

Revelation 19:15

19:15 From his mouth extends a sharp sword, so that with it he can strike the nations. ¹⁰  He ¹¹  will rule ¹²  them with an iron rod, ¹³  and he stomps the winepress ¹⁴  of the furious ¹⁵  wrath of God, the All-Powerful. ¹⁶ 

[16:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

[16:9]  ² tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:9]  ³ tn On this phrase BDAG 536 s.v. καῦμα states, “burning, heat Rv 7:16…καυματίζεσθαι κ. μέγα be burned with a scorching heat 16:9.”

[16:9]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:9]  ⁵ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[17:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “And.” Because this remark is somewhat resumptive in nature, “as for” is used in the translation.

[13:12]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[13:12]  ¹² tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

[13:12]  ¹³ tn For this meaning see BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 4.b, “by the authority of, on behalf of Rv 13:12, 14; 19:20.”

[19:15]  ¹⁶ tn Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[19:15]  ¹⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[19:15]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “will shepherd.”

[19:15]  ¹⁹ tn Or “scepter.” The Greek term ῥάβδος (rJabdo") can mean either “rod” or “scepter.”

[19:15]  ²⁰ sn He stomps the winepress. See Isa 63:3, where Messiah does this alone (usually several individuals would join in the process), and Rev 14:20.

[19:15]  ²¹ tn The genitive θυμοῦ (qumou) has been translated as an attributed genitive. Following BDAG 461 s.v. θυμός 2, the combination of the genitives of θυμός (qumos) and ὀργή (orgh) in Rev 16:19 and 19:15 are taken to be a strengthening of the thought as in the OT and Qumran literature (Exod 32:12; Jer 32:37; Lam 2:3; CD 10:9).

[19:15]  ²² tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”
