Revelation 2:24
Context2:24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, all who do not hold to this teaching 1 (who have not learned the so-called “deep secrets 2 of Satan”), to you I say: I do not put any additional burden on you.
Revelation 9:20
Context9:20 The rest of humanity, who had not been killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made 3 of gold, silver, 4 bronze, stone, and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk about.
Revelation 17:8
Context17:8 The beast you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up from the abyss 5 and then go to destruction. The 6 inhabitants of the earth – all those whose names have not been written in the book of life since the foundation of the world – will be astounded when they see that 7 the beast was, and is not, but is to come.
1 sn That is, the teaching of Jezebel (v. 20).
2 tn Grk “deep things.” For the translation “deep secrets” see L&N 28.76; cf. NAB, NIV, CEV.
3 tn The word “made” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
4 tn The Greek conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the following materials in this list, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
5 tn On this term BDAG 2 s.v. ἄβυσσος 2 states, “netherworld, abyss, esp. the abode of the dead Ro 10:7 (Ps 106:26) and of demons Lk 8:31; dungeon where the devil is kept Rv 20:3; abode of the θηρίον, the Antichrist 11:7; 17:8; of ᾿Αβαδδών (q.v.), the angel of the underworld 9:11…φρέαρ τῆς ἀ. 9:1f; capable of being sealed 9:1; 20:1, 3.”
6 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
7 tn Some translations take the ὅτι (Joti) here as causal: “because he was, and is not, but is to come” (so NIV, NRSV), but it is much more likely that the subject of the ὅτι clause has been assimilated into the main clause: “when they see the beast, that he was…” = “when they see that the beast was” (so BDAG 732 s.v. ὅτι 1.f, where Rev 17:8 is listed).
