Wahyu 14:8
Konteks14:8 A 1 second 2 angel 3 followed the first, 4 declaring: 5 “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great city! 6 She made all the nations 7 drink of the wine of her immoral passion.” 8
Wahyu 14:10
Konteks14:10 that person 9 will also drink of the wine of God’s anger 10 that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur 11 in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb.
Wahyu 16:19
Konteks16:19 The 12 great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations 13 collapsed. 14 So 15 Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cup 16 filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath. 17
[14:8] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[14:8] 2 tc There are several different variants comprising a textual problem involving “second” (δεύτερος, deuteros). First, several
[14:8] 3 tn Grk “And another angel, a second.”
[14:8] 4 tn The words “the first” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
[14:8] 5 tn For the translation of λέγω (legw) as “declare,” see BDAG 590 s.v. 2.e.
[14:8] 6 sn The fall of Babylon the great city is described in detail in Rev 18:2-24.
[14:8] 7 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
[14:8] 8 tn Grk “of the wine of the passion of the sexual immorality of her.” Here τῆς πορνείας (th" porneia") has been translated as an attributive genitive. In an ironic twist of fate, God will make Babylon drink her own mixture, but it will become the wine of his wrath in retribution for her immoral deeds (see the note on the word “wrath” in 16:19).
[14:10] 9 tn Grk “he himself.”
[14:10] 10 tn The Greek word for “anger” here is θυμός (qumos), a wordplay on the “passion” (θυμός) of the personified city of Babylon in 14:8.
[14:10] 11 tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”
[16:19] 12 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
[16:19] 13 tn Or “of the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).
[16:19] 15 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Babylon’s misdeeds (see Rev 14:8).
[16:19] 16 tn Grk “the cup of the wine of the anger of the wrath of him.” The concatenation of four genitives has been rendered somewhat differently by various translations (see the note on the word “wrath”).
[16:19] 17 tn Following BDAG 461 s.v. θυμός 2, the combination of the genitives of θυμός (qumo") and ὀργή (orgh) 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; CD 10:9). Thus in Rev 14:8 (to which the present passage alludes) and 18:3 there is irony: The wine of immoral behavior with which Babylon makes the nations drunk becomes the wine of God’s wrath for her.
