[10:1]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[10:1]  ² tn Or “clothed.”

[10:1]  ³ tn Or “like fiery pillars,” translating πυρός (puros) as an attributive genitive.

[17:16]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:16]  ⁵ tn A new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[17:16]  ⁶ tn The final clause could also be turned into an adverbial clause of means: “They will consume her flesh by burning her with fire.”

[18:8]  ⁷ tn Grk “For this reason, her plagues will come.”

[18:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

[18:8]  ⁹ tn This is the same Greek word (πένθος, penqo") translated “grief” in vv. 7-8.

[18:8]  ¹⁰ tn Here “burned down” was used to translate κατακαυθήσεται (katakauqhsetai) because a city is in view.

[19:12]  ¹¹ tn The genitive noun πυρός (puros) has been translated as an attributive genitive (see also Rev 1:14).

[19:12]  ¹² tn For the translation of διάδημα (diadhma) as “diadem crown” see L&N 6.196.

[19:12]  sn Diadem crowns were a type of crown used as a symbol of the highest ruling authority in a given area, and thus often associated with kingship.

[19:12]  ¹³ tn Grk “head, having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[19:12]  ¹⁴ tn Although many translations supply a prepositional phrase to specify what the name was written on (“upon Him,” NASB; “on him,” NIV), there is no location for the name specified in the Greek text.

[20:9]  ¹⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[20:9]  ¹⁶ tn The shift here to past tense reflects the Greek text.

[20:9]  ¹⁷ tn On the phrase “broad plain of the earth” BDAG 823 s.v. πλάτος states, “τὸ πλάτος τῆς γῆς Rv 20:9 comes fr. the OT (Da 12:2 LXX. Cp. Hab 1:6; Sir 1:3), but the sense is not clear: breadth = the broad plain of the earth is perh. meant to provide room for the countless enemies of God vs. 8, but the ‘going up’ is better suited to Satan (vs. 7) who has recently been freed, and who comes up again fr. the abyss (vs. 3).” The referent here thus appears to be a plain large enough to accommodate the numberless hoards that have drawn up for battle against the Lord Christ and his saints.

[20:9]  ¹⁸ tn Or “surrounded.”

[20:9]  ¹⁹ tn On the term παρεμβολή (parembolh) BDAG 775 s.v. states, “Mostly used as a military t.t.…so always in our lit.…1. a (fortified) camp…ἡ παρεμβολὴ τῶν ἁγίων Rv 20:9 is also to be understood fr. the OT use of the word.”

[20:9]  ²⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[20:9]  ²¹ tn See L&N 20.45 for the translation of κατεσθίω (katesqiw) as “to destroy utterly, to consume completely.”

[20:10]  ²² tn Or “misled.”

[20:10]  ²³ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[20:10]  ²⁴ tn The verb in this clause is elided. In keeping with the previous past tenses some translations supply a past tense verb here (“were”), but in view of the future tense that follows (“they will be tormented”), a present tense verb was used to provide a transition from the previous past tense to the future tense that follows.
