This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3. κατάθεμα. A peculiar equivalent (found also in the Teaching of the Apostles c. 16 σωθήσονται ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ τοῦ καταθέματος) of the common Hebrew word rendered ἀνάθεμα in Zec 14:11 (of which this verse is a reminiscence). There A. V[894] translates “utter destruction,” R. V[895] Text “curse,” Margin “ban.”
[894] Authorised Version.
[895] Revised Version.
ὁ θρόνος. Implied already in Rev 21:23 and Rev 22:1. Interpreters compare the last words (κύριος ἐκεῖ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς) of Ezekiel’s cognate prophecy.
οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ. The singular pronoun implies the Unity of the Persons named.
λατρεύσουσιν. See Rev 7:15 and note there.
