11:16 Then 2 the twenty-four elders who are seated on their thrones before God threw themselves down with their faces to the ground 3 and worshiped God
12:13 Now 4 when the dragon realized 5 that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
18:1 After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance. 6
1 tn An allusion to Isa 49:10. The phrase “burning heat” is one word in Greek (καῦμα, kauma) that refers to a burning, intensely-felt heat. See BDAG 536 s.v.
2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
3 tn Grk “they fell down on their faces.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”
4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.
5 tn Grk “saw.”
6 tn Grk “glory”; but often in the sense of splendor, brightness, or radiance (see L&N 14.49).
