Revelation 7:2

7:2 Then ³  I saw another angel ascending from the east, ⁴  who had ⁵  the seal ⁶  of the living God. He ⁷  shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given permission ⁸  to damage the earth and the sea: ⁹ 

Revelation 16:12

16:12 Then ¹⁰  the sixth angel ¹¹  poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water ¹²  to prepare the way ¹³  for the kings from the east. ¹⁴ 

[21:13]  ¹ tn The words “There are” have been supplied to make a complete English sentence. This is a continuation of the previous sentence, a lengthy and complicated one in Greek.

[21:13]  ² tn The word “side” has been supplied four times in this verse for clarity.

[7:2]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίου…from the east Rv 7:2; 16:12…simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”

[7:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “having,” but v. 3 makes it clear that the angel’s purpose is to seal others with the seal he carries.

[7:2]  ⁶ tn Or “signet” (L&N 6.54).

[7:2]  ⁷ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[7:2]  ⁸ tn The word “permission” is implied; Grk “to whom it was given to them to damage the earth.”

[7:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[16:12]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “the sixth”; the referent (the sixth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “and its water was dried up.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “in order that the way might be prepared.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίου…from the east Rv 7:2; 16:12; simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”
