Revelation 6:13

6:13 and the stars in the sky ¹  fell to the earth like a fig tree dropping ²  its unripe figs ³  when shaken by a fierce ⁴  wind.

Revelation 14:11

14:11 And the smoke from their ⁵  torture will go up ⁶  forever and ever, and those who worship the beast and his image will have ⁷  no rest day or night, along with ⁸  anyone who receives the mark of his name.”

¹ tn Or “in heaven” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”). The genitive τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (tou ouranou) is taken as a genitive of place.

² tn Grk “throws [off]”; the indicative verb has been translated as a participle due to English style.

³ tn L&N 3.37 states, “a fig produced late in the summer season (and often falling off before it ripens) – ‘late fig.’ ὡς συκὴ βάλλει τοὺς ὀλύνθους αὐτῆς ὑπὸ ἀνέμου μεγάλου σειομένη ‘as the fig tree sheds its late figs when shaken by a great wind’ Re 6:13. In the only context in which ὄλυνθος occurs in the NT (Re 6:13), one may employ an expression such as ‘unripe fig’ or ‘fig which ripens late.’”

⁴ tn Grk “great wind.”

⁵ tn The Greek pronoun is plural here even though the verbs in the previous verse are singular.

⁶ tn The present tense ἀναβαίνει (anabainei) has been translated as a futuristic present (ExSyn 535-36). This is also consistent with the future passive βασανισθήσεται (basanisqhsetai) in v. 10.

⁷ tn The present tense ἔχουσιν (ecousin) has been translated as a futuristic present to keep the English tense consistent with the previous verb (see note on “will go up” earlier in this verse).

⁸ tn Grk “and.”
