Raw Greek Parsing Data

Revelation 12:14

Greek: καιρὸν καὶ καιροὺς καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ

  • καιρὸν (kairon) = καιρός G2540 [N-ASM] Acc Sg M = "time/season" (accusative)
  • καὶ (kai) = and
  • καιροὺς (kairous) = καιρός G2540 [N-APM] Acc Pl M = "times" (plural accusative)
  • καὶ (kai) = and
  • ἥμισυ (hemisu) = ἥμισυς G2255 [A-ASN] Acc Sg N = "half"
  • καιροῦ (kairou) = καιρός G2540 [N-GSM] Gen Sg M = "of time" (genitive)
  • This is the Greek equivalent of Daniel 7:25's Aramaic: iddan ve-iddanin uflag iddan
  • kairos (G2540) used in LXX to translate both iddan (Dan 7:25) and mo'ed (Dan 12:7)
  • ἐδόθησαν (edothēsan) = δίδωμι G1325 [V-API-3P] Aor Pass Ind = "were given" — divine passive (edothe)
  • τρέφεται (trephetai) = τρέφω G5142 [V-PPI-3S] Pres Pass Ind = "is nourished" — preservation context

Revelation 11:2

Greek: μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο

  • μῆνας (mēnas) = μήν G3376 [N-APM] Acc Pl M = "months"
  • τεσσεράκοντα (tesserakonta) = G5062 = "forty"
  • δύο (duo) = G1417 = "two"
  • = 42 months
  • Context: HOSTILE — Gentiles trample the holy city
  • ἐδόθη (edothē) = δίδωμι G1325 [V-API-3S] Aor Pass Ind = "was given" — divine passive

Revelation 13:5

Greek: μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο

  • IDENTICAL expression to Rev 11:2: mēnas tesserakonta duo = 42 months
  • Context: HOSTILE — beast's authority to continue/act
  • ἐδόθη (edothē) = δίδωμι G1325 [V-API-3S] Aor Pass Ind = "was given" — SAME divine passive as Rev 11:2

Note on contextual differentiation pattern: - 42 months (mēnas): Rev 11:2 (Gentile trampling — HOSTILE), Rev 13:5 (beast authority — HOSTILE) - Both use edothe (divine passive) — the hostile activity is divinely PERMITTED - 1260 days (hēmeras): Rev 11:3 (witnesses prophesy — PRESERVATION), Rev 12:6 (woman nourished — PRESERVATION) - time, times, half a time (kairon): Rev 12:14 — Danielic cosmic-conflict framework

Mark 1:15

Greek: Πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ

  • Πεπλήρωται (Peplērōtai) = πληρόω G4137 [V-RPI-3S] Perf Pass Ind = "has been fulfilled/completed"
  • PERFECT tense: completed action with present results
  • PASSIVE voice: the kairos was fulfilled by divine action, not human
  • ὁ καιρὸς (ho kairos) = G2540 "the time/appointed time"
  • ἤγγικεν (ēngiken) = ἐγγίζω G1448 [V-RAI-3S] Perf Act Ind = "has drawn near"
  • Jesus declares THE kairos (articular — the specific appointed time) has been FULFILLED
  • This is the NT confirmation that Daniel's prophetic timetable (70 weeks) reached its appointed end

Galatians 4:4

Greek: ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ χρόνου

  • τὸ πλήρωμα (to plērōma) = πλήρωμα G4138 [N-NSN] = "the fullness/completion"
  • τοῦ χρόνου (tou chronou) = χρόνος G5550 [N-GSM] = "of the time/chronological period"
  • Note: Paul uses chronos (chronological time) rather than kairos (appointed time) — emphasizing that a specific chronological period was completed
  • ἐξαπέστειλεν (exapesteilen) = G1821 Aor Act Ind = "sent forth" — God's decisive action at the completion of the time period

2 Peter 3:8

Greek: μία ἡμέρα παρὰ Κυρίῳ ὡς χίλια ἔτη καὶ χίλια ἔτη ὡς ἡμέρα μία

  • μία ἡμέρα (mia hēmera) = "one day" — ἡμέρα G2250 [N-NSF]
  • παρὰ Κυρίῳ (para Kyriō) = "with the Lord" — dative
  • ὡς (hōs) = "as/like" — comparative particle
  • χίλια ἔτη (chilia etē) = "a thousand years" — ἔτος G2094 [N-NPN]
  • Bidirectional: one day = 1000 years AND 1000 years = one day
  • Context: God's patience, not a chronological conversion formula
  • Echoes Psalm 90:4

Revelation 12:5-6 (time compression passage)

Greek (12:5): ἔτεκεν (eteken) = τίκτω G5088 [V-2AAI-3S] Aor Act Ind = "she bore" (aorist — point action) - ἡρπάσθη (hērpasthē) = ἁρπάζω G726 [V-API-3S] Aor Pass Ind = "was caught up" (aorist — point action) - Christ's entire earthly life compressed into TWO aorist verbs: birth → caught up to God Greek (12:6): 1260 days follows immediately — the time-compression argument

Luke 4:25

Greek: ἐπὶ ἔτη τρία καὶ μῆνας ἕξ

  • ἐπὶ ἔτη τρία = "for three years" — ἔτος G2094 [N-APN]
  • καὶ μῆνας ἕξ = "and six months" — μήν G3376 [N-APM]
  • PLAIN LITERAL time expression: "three years and six months"
  • CONTRAST with prophetic formulations: Dan 7:25 "time, times, half a time"; Rev 12:14 "kairon kai kairous kai hemisu kairou"
  • Same period (3.5 years) but expressed in LITERAL language vs. SYMBOLIC language
  • James 5:17 uses same plain expression: "three years and six months"
