Notes

  • Rev 6:10 is the ONLY occurrence of despotēs in Revelation
  • The martyrs address God with the title of absolute sovereign authority
  • Distinguished from kyrios (G2962): despotēs emphasizes absolute, uncontrolled power — the authority of an owner over property
  • In divine address contexts (Luke 2:29, Acts 4:24, Rev 6:10): used in prayer acknowledging God's sovereign control over events
