Revelation 9:10

Revelation 16:8

16:8 Then ³  the fourth angel ⁴  poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people ⁵  with fire.

[9:10]  ¹ tn In the Greek text there is a shift to the present tense here; the previous verbs translated “had” are imperfects.

[9:10]  ² tn See BDAG 352 s.v. ἐξουσία 2, “potential or resource to command, control, or govern, capability, might, power.”

[16:8]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “the fourth”; the referent (the fourth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.
