(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

They say (legousin). Present active of vivid dramatic action and the indefinite statement in the plural as in Rev 13:16; Rev 16:15. It is possible that the allusion is to the heavenly voice (Rev 10:4, Rev 10:8) and to the angel (Rev 10:9).

Thou must prophesy again (dei se palin prophēteusai). Not a new commission (Rev 1:19), though now renewed. C.f. Eze 4:7; Eze 6:2; Jer 1:10. The palin (again) points to what has preceded and also to what is to come in Rev 11:15. Here it is predictive prophecy (prophēteusai, first aorist active infinitive of prophēteuō).

Over (epi). In the case, in regard to as in Joh 12:16 (with graphō), not in the presence of (epi with genitive, Mar 13:9) nor against (epi with the accusative, Luk 22:53). For this list of peoples see Rev 5:9, occurring seven times in the Apocalypse.
