Revelation 10:1-2

The Angel with the Little Scroll

10:1 Then I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire. 10:2 He held in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.


tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

tn Or “clothed.”

tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.

tn Grk “and having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he.”
