This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 2:26. Ὁ νικῶι-δώσω αὐτῷ) The things which you may suppose not to sound so well in Greek, will sound well when cast in Hebrew mould of thought. See instances, ch. Rev 6:8, Rev 7:2, Rev 9:12 (where the feminine is put for the neuter), 14, Rev 20:8. There is a very similar construction, Κύριος, ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ, Psa 11:4; and so Psa 57:5 (4), Psa 103:15.-ἐπὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν) Psa 2:8-9, αἴτησαι παρʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοὶ ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου, καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς· ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ, ὡς σκεύη κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς.
