Wahyu 5:5

5:5 Then ¹  one of the elders said ²  to me, “Stop weeping! ³  Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; ⁴  thus he can open ⁵  the scroll and its seven seals.”

Wahyu 14:10

14:10 that person ⁶  will also drink of the wine of God’s anger ⁷  that has been mixed undiluted in the cup of his wrath, and he will be tortured with fire and sulfur ⁸  in front of the holy angels and in front of the Lamb.

Wahyu 16:19

16:19 The ⁹  great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations ¹⁰  collapsed. ¹¹  So ¹²  Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cup ¹³  filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath. ¹⁴ 

[5:5]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[5:5]  ² tn Grk “says” (a historical present).

[5:5]  ³ tn The present imperative with μή (mh) is used here to command cessation of an action in progress (ExSyn 724 lists this verse as an example).

[5:5]  ⁴ tn Or “has been victorious”; traditionally, “has overcome.”

[5:5]  ⁵ tn The infinitive has been translated as an infinitive of result here.

[14:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “he himself.”

[14:10]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”

[16:19]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “of the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[16:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “fell.”

[16:19]  ¹² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Babylon’s misdeeds (see Rev 14:8).

[16:19]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ 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.
