Discovery BoxRevelation 7:9 
Context7:9 After these things I looked, and here was 1 an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, 2 people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.
Revelation 12:14
Context12:14 But 3 the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, 4 to the place God 5 prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. 6
Revelation 20:3
Context20:3 The angel 7 then 8 threw him into the abyss and locked 9 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 The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).
2 tn Here καί (kai) has not been 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 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.
4 tn Or “desert.”
5 tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.
6 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).
7 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel introduced in v. 1) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
9 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.
