Revelation 11:6

Context
11:6 These two have the power 1  to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the time 2  they are prophesying. They 3  have power 4  to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they want.

Revelation 12:12

Context

12:12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!

But 5  woe to the earth and the sea

because the devil has come down to you!

He 6  is filled with terrible anger,

for he knows that he only has a little time!”

Revelation 14:15

Context
14:15 Then 7  another angel came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud, “Use 8  your sickle and start to reap, 9  because the time to reap has come, since the earth’s harvest is ripe!”

Revelation 20:3

Context
20:3 The angel 10  then 11  threw him into the abyss and locked 12  and sealed it so that he could not deceive the nations until the one thousand years were finished. (After these things he must be released for a brief period of time.)

1 tn Or “authority.”

2 tn Grk “the days.”

3 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

4 tn Or “authority.”

5 tn The word “But” is not in the Greek text, but the contrast is clearly implied. This is a case of asyndeton (lack of a connective).

6 tn Grk “and is filled,” a continuation of the previous sentence. Because English tends to use shorter sentences (especially when exclamations are involved), a new sentence was started here in the translation.

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

8 tn Grk “Send out.”

9 tn The aorist θέρισον (qerison) has been translated ingressively.

10 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel introduced in v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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

12 tn Or “and shut.” While the lexical force of the term is closer to “shut,” it is acceptable to render the verb ἔκλεισεν (ekleisen) as “locked” here in view of the mention of the key in the previous verse.
