NASB | Revelation 11:17 saying, ¶ "We give You thanks, O Lord God, the Almighty, who are and who were, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 11:17 saying, "To You we give thanks, O Lord God Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], Who are and Who were, because You have taken Your great power and the sovereignty [which is rightly Yours] and have [now] begun to reign. |
Subject: Why translationed "who are and who were? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, See also the Rev 11:15 thread. You wrote here that "In no rendition are we to interpret the clause to mean that the subject itself (God) is plural." However, Tim Moran has told us that the Lord God, the Almighty in the Greek is always plural. 1) I am interested in your desire to make "Revelation" singular. Is it also your desire to make Revelation capitalized so that the word is talking of Deity? From the heart, Ray |
