Darby's translation notes (1890)

Revelation 10:7

10:7 about (a-15) Or 'when he shall sound.' I have translated literally; but the sense I believe to be 'when he shall sound, as he is about to do.' completed, (b-27) Aorist, 'will have been.' But in the Revelation the aorist is almost everywhere used where other tenses might be put. Such evident Hebraisms are incessant.
