Footnotes

  1. 26 Grk “it”; the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 27 The prepositional phrase “since the foundation of the world” is traditionally translated as a modifier of the immediately preceding phrase in the Greek text, “the Lamb who was killed” (so also G. B. Caird, Revelation [], 168), but it is more likely that the phrase “since the foundation of the world” modifies the verb “written” (as translated above). Confirmation of this can be found in Rev 17:8 where the phrase “written in the book of life since the foundation of the world” occurs with no ambiguity.
  3. 28 Or “slaughtered”; traditionally, “slain.”
