Wahyu 6:4

6:4 And another horse, fiery red, ¹  came out, and the one who rode it ²  was granted permission ³  to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher ⁴  one another, and he was given a huge sword.

Wahyu 16:19

16:19 The ⁵  great city was split into three parts and the cities of the nations ⁶  collapsed. ⁷  So ⁸  Babylon the great was remembered before God, and was given the cup ⁹  filled with the wine made of God’s furious wrath. ¹⁰ 

Wahyu 21:27

21:27 but ¹¹  nothing ritually unclean ¹²  will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable ¹³  or practices falsehood, ¹⁴  but only those whose names ¹⁵  are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

[6:4]  ¹ tn L&N 79.31 states, “‘fiery red’ (probably with a tinge of yellow or orange).”

[6:4]  ² tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:4]  ³ tn The word “permission” is implied; Grk “it was given to him to take peace from the earth.”

[6:4]  ⁴ tn BDAG 979 s.v. σφάζω states, “Of the killing of a person by violence…σφάζειν τινά butcher or murder someone (4 Km 10:7; Jer 52:10; Manetho: 609 fgm. 8, 76 Jac. [in Jos., C. Ap. 1, 76]; Demetr.[?]: 722 fgm. 7; Ar. 10, 9) 1J 3:12; Rv 6:4. Pass. (Hdt. 5, 5) 5:9; 6:9; 18:24.”

[16:19]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[16:19]  ⁶ tn Or “of the Gentiles” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[16:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “fell.”

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

[16:19]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ 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.

[21:27]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[21:27]  ¹² tn Here BDAG 552 s.v. κοινός 2 states, “pert. to being of little value because of being common, common, ordinary, profane…b. specifically, of that which is ceremonially impure: Rv 21:27.”

[21:27]  ¹³ tn Or “what is abhorrent”; Grk “who practices abominations.”

[21:27]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “practicing abomination or falsehood.” Because of the way βδέλυγμα (bdelugma) has been translated (“does what is detestable”) it was necessary to repeat the idea from the participle ποιῶν (poiwn, “practices”) before the term “falsehood.” On this term, BDAG 1097 s.v. ψεῦδος states, “ποιεῖν ψεῦδος practice (the things that go with) falsehood Rv 21:27; 22:15.” Cf. Rev 3:9.

[21:27]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “those who are written”; the word “names” is implied.
