ΟἽ ἘΝΏΠΙΟΝ ΤΟΥ͂ ΘΕΟΥ͂ ἙΣΤΉΚΑΣΙΝ. ἑστήκασιν is in its natural place in ordinary Greek; in this Book we should expect to find it, if at all, before ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ: οἱ ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ without construction would be less surprising. The phrase is probably a designation of seven Angels (commonly, perha... [ Continue Reading ]

ΘΥΜΙΑΜΆΤΩΝ ΤΑΙ͂Σ ΠΡΟΣΕΥΧΑΙ͂Σ. Primas[288] reads _supplicationum orationum_. [288] Primasius, edited by Haussleiter. 4. ἈΝΈΒΗ … ΤΑΙ͂Σ ΠΡΟΣΕΥΧΑΙ͂Σ.

ὌΡΟΣ ΜΈΓΑ ΠΥΡῚ ΚΑΙΌΜΕΝΟΝ. Cf. Jeremiah 51 (28):25 ἰδοὺ ἐγώ πρὸς σὲ τὸ ὄρος τὸ διεφθαρμένον τὸ διαφθεῖρον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ σὲ καὶ κατακυλιῶ σε ἐπὶ τῶν πετρῶν, καὶ δώσω σε ὡς ὄρος ἐμπεπυρισμένον, which seems like a prediction that Babylon shall be dealt with as the mountain...

ἘΓΈΝΕΤΟ … ΕἸΣ ἌΨΙΝΘΟΝ. We are perhaps to be reminded, as before, of the plagues in Egypt, so here of the mercy to Israel, Exodus 15:25 : here, as those are intensified, so that is reversed.
