Discovery BoxRevelation 6:8 
Context6:8 So 1 I looked 2 and here came 3 a pale green 4 horse! The 5 name of the one who rode it 6 was Death, and Hades followed right behind. 7 They 8 were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, 9 famine, and disease, 10 and by the wild animals of the earth.
Revelation 6:11
Context6:11 Each 11 of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached 12 of both their fellow servants 13 and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.
Revelation 8:3
Context8:3 Another 14 angel holding 15 a golden censer 16 came and was stationed 17 at the altar. A 18 large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.
Revelation 12:14
Context12:14 But 19 the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, 20 to the place God 21 prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. 22
Revelation 15:2
Context15:2 Then 23 I saw something like a sea of glass 24 mixed with fire, and those who had conquered 25 the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing 26 by 27 the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. 28
Revelation 20:4
Context20:4 Then 29 I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. 30 I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These 31 had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They 32 came to life 33 and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the fourth creature.
2 tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the
3 tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).
4 tn A sickly pallor, when referring to persons, or the green color of plants. BDAG 1085 s.v. χλωρός 2 states, “pale, greenish gray…as the color of a pers. in sickness contrasted with appearance in health…so the horse ridden by Death…ἵππος χλωρός Rv 6:8.” Because the color of the horse is symbolic, “pale green” is used in the translation. Cf. NIV, NCV “pale”; NASB “ashen.”
5 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
6 tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”
7 tn Grk “And Hades was following with him.” The Greek expression μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ (met’ autou, “with him”) is Semitic and indicates close proximity. The translation “followed right behind” reflects this.
8 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
9 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
10 tn Grk “with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).
11 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
12 tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).
13 tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
14 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
15 tn Grk “having.”
16 sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.
17 tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.
18 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.
19 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.
20 tn Or “desert.”
21 tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.
22 tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì47 א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.
sn The parallel statement in Rev 12:6 suggests that the phrase a time, times, and half a time equals 1,260 days (three and a half years of 360 days each).
23 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
24 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.
25 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”
26 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”
27 tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”
28 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
29 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
30 tn Grk “I saw thrones, and those seated on them, and judgment was given to them.” BDAG 567 s.v. κρίμα 3 says, “judging, judgment, the κρίμα ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς authority to judge was given to them Rv 20:4.”
31 tn Grk “God, and who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “these” as subject.
32 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
33 tn On the use of the aorist ἔζησαν (ezhsan) BDAG 425 s.v. ζάω 1.a.β says, “of dead persons who return to life become alive again: of humans in general (3 Km 17:23) Mt 9:18; Ac 9:41; 20:12; Rv 20:4, 5.”
