Revelation 6:15

Revelation 19:18

Context

19:18 to eat 5  your fill 6  of the flesh of kings,

the flesh of generals, 7 

the flesh of powerful people,

the flesh of horses and those who ride them,

and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, 8 

and small and great!”

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

2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated; nor is it translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

3 tn Grk “chiliarchs.” A chiliarch was normally a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).

4 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

5 tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause, insofar as it is related to the first imperative, has the force of an imperative.

6 tn The idea of eating “your fill” is evident in the context with the use of χορτάζω (cortazw) in v. 21.

7 tn Grk “chiliarchs”; normally a chiliarch was a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).

8 tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
