Footnotes

  1. 38 Or “the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
  2. 39 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  3. 40 Grk “will shepherd.”
  4. 41 Or “scepter.” The Greek term ῥάβδος (rhabdos) can mean either “rod” or “scepter.” A quotation from Ps 2:9 (see also Rev 2:27, 12:5).
  5. 42 He stomps the winepress. See Isa 63:3, where Messiah does this alone (usually several individuals would join in the process), and Rev 14:20.
  6. 43 The genitive θυμοῦ (thumou) has been translated as an attributed genitive. Following θυμός 2, the combination of the genitives of θυμός (thumos) and ὀργή (orgē) in Rev 16:19 and 19:15 are taken to be a strengthening of the thought as in the OT and Qumran literature (Exod 32:12; Jer 32:37; Lam 2:3; 10:9).
  7. 44 On this word παντοκράτωρ states, “the Almighty, All-Powerful, Omnipotent (One) only of God … (ὁ) κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ π.… Rv 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7; 21:22.”
