This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Write
See on Rev 1:11. Add therefore.
The things which are (ἅ εἰσιν)
Some render, what they are; i.e., what they signify; but the reference of μετὰ ταῦτα after these, hereafter to ἅ εἰσιν which are, seems to be decisive in favor of the former rendering, which besides is the more natural.
Shall be (μέλλει γίνεσθαι)
Not the future of the verb to be, but are about (μέλλει) to come to pass (γίνεσθαι). Compare Rev 1:1, “must come to pass.” Here the thought is not the prophetic necessity, but the sequence of events.
