Wahyu 11:6

11:6 These two have the power ¹  to close up the sky so that it does not rain during the time ²  they are prophesying. They ³  have power ⁴  to turn the waters to blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague whenever they want.

Wahyu 16:18

16:18 Then ⁵  there were flashes of lightning, roaring, ⁶  and crashes of thunder, and there was a tremendous earthquake – an earthquake unequaled since humanity ⁷  has been on the earth, so tremendous was that earthquake.

[11:6]  ¹ tn Or “authority.”

[11:6]  ² tn Grk “the days.”

[11:6]  ³ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:6]  ⁴ tn Or “authority.”

[16:18]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:18]  ⁶ tn Or “sounds,” “voices.” It is not entirely clear what this refers to. BDAG 1071 s.v. φωνή 1 states, “In Rv we have ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί (cp. Ex 19:16) 4:5; 8:5; 11:19; 16:18 (are certain other sounds in nature thought of here in addition to thunder, as e.g. the roar of the storm?…).”

[16:18]  ⁷ tn The singular ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used generically here to refer to the human race.
