Discovery BoxRevelation 4:8 
Context4:8 Each one of the four living creatures had six wings 1 and was full of eyes all around and inside. 2 They never rest day or night, saying: 3
“Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God, the All-Powerful, 4
Who was and who is, and who is still to come!”
Revelation 7:14
Context7:14 So 5 I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” 6 Then 7 he said to me, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation. They 8 have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!
Revelation 14:13
Context14:13 Then 9 I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this:
‘Blessed are the dead,
those who die in the Lord from this moment on!’”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their hard work, 10 because their deeds will follow them.” 11
1 tn Grk “six wings apiece,” but this is redundant with “each one” in English.
2 tn Some translations render ἔσωθεν (eswqen) as “under [its] wings,” but the description could also mean “filled all around on the outside and on the inside with eyes.” Since the referent is not available to the interpreter, the exact force is difficult to determine.
3 tn Or “They never stop saying day and night.”
4 tn On this word BDAG 755 s.v. παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God…(ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π. …Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”
sn A quotation from (or an allusion to) Isa 6:3.
5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the previous question.
6 tn Though the expression “the answer” is not in the Greek text, it is clearly implied. Direct objects in Greek were frequently omitted when clear from the context.
7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
8 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.
9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
10 tn Or “from their trouble” (L&N 22.7).
11 tn Grk “their deeds will follow with them.”
