Revelation 10:1-2
ContextThe Angel with the Little Scroll
10:1 Then 1 I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped 2 in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun and his legs were like pillars of fire. 3 10:2 He held 4 in his hand a little scroll that was open, and he put his right foot on the sea and his left on the land.
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
2 tn Or “clothed.”
3 tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.
4 tn Grk “and having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the pronoun “he.”
