Revelation 10:7

10:7 But in the days¹ when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed,² just as he has³ proclaimed to his servants⁴ the prophets.”

Revelation 11:9

11:9 For three and a half days those from every⁵ people, tribe,⁶ nation, and language will look at their corpses, because they will not permit them to be placed in a tomb.⁷

Revelation 11:11

11:11 But⁸ after three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and tremendous fear seized⁹ those who were watching them.

¹tn Grk “But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel.”

²tn The aorist ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh) has been translated as a proleptic (futuristic) aorist (ExSyn 564 cites this verse as an example).

³tn The time of the action described by the aorist εὐηγγέλισεν (euhngelisen) seems to be past with respect to the aorist passive ἐτελέσθη (etelesqh). This does not require that the prophets in view here be OT prophets. They may actually refer to the martyrs in the church (so G. B. Caird, Revelation [HNTC], 129).

⁴tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

⁵tn The word “every” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the following list.

⁶tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated before this and the following items in the list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

⁷tn Or “to be buried.”

⁸tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

⁹tn Grk “fell upon.”
