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: Ray, in no version of which I'm aware is the last book of the Bible called "The Revelations of Jesus Christ." Always it is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, or simply, "The Revelation". Moreover, the word "Revelation" is capitalized only because it constitutes the title of a book. Titles of books, sacred or secular, are usually capitalized. This has been a convention of English for years. I think I learned it in the second grade, and that was a long time ago. :-) --Hank |
