Revelation 13:2 -- Composite beast description

Greek Text: καὶ τὸ θηρίον ὃ εἶδον ἦν ὅμοιον παρδάλει, καὶ οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄρκου, καὶ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ὡς στόμα λέοντος. καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ὁ δράκων τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην.

θρόνον θρόνος G2362 N-ASM (throne)
ἐξουσίαν ἐξουσία G1849 N-ASF (authority)
μεγάλην μέγας G3173 A-ASF (great)

Key observation: Rev 13:2 combines Daniel's four beasts in REVERSE order: - παρδάλει (leopard) = Dan 7:6 (3rd beast) - ἄρκου (bear) = Dan 7:5 (2nd beast) - λέοντος (lion) = Dan 7:4 (1st beast) - Dragon gives throne = Dan 7:7 (4th beast, from which the dragon inherits power)

Revelation 13:5 -- Mouth speaking great things

Greek Text: καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα καὶ βλασφημίας, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ποιῆσαι μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
ἐδόθη δίδωμι G1325 V-API-3S (Aor Pass Ind 3s, "was given")
αὐτῷ αὐτός G846 P-DSN (to it)
στόμα στόμα G4750 N-NSN (mouth)
λαλοῦν λαλέω G2980 V-PAP-NSN (Pres Act Ptcp, "speaking")
μεγάλα μέγας G3173 A-APN (great things)
βλασφημίας βλασφημία G988 N-APF (blasphemies)

ἐξουσία ἐξουσία G1849 N-NSF (authority)
ποιῆσαι ποιέω G4160 V-AAN (Aor Act Inf, "to do/act")
μῆνας μήν G3376 N-APM (months)
τεσσεράκοντα τεσσεράκοντα G5062 A-NUI (forty)
δύο δύο G1417 A-NUI (two)

CRITICAL: στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα = "a mouth speaking great things" -- this is the IDENTICAL phrase found in the LXX of Dan 7:8 (στόμα λαλοῦν μεγάλα). This is a direct literary quotation from Daniel to Revelation.

Revelation 13:6 -- Blasphemy against God

Greek Text: καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ εἰς βλασφημίας πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, βλασφημῆσαι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, τοὺς ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ σκηνοῦντας.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
ἤνοιξεν ἀνοίγω G455 V-AAI-3S (Aor Act Ind, "opened")

σκηνὴν σκηνή G4633 N-ASF (tabernacle)

Note: Three targets of blasphemy: (1) God's name, (2) God's tabernacle, (3) those who tabernacle in heaven.

Revelation 13:7 -- War with the saints

Greek Text: καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ποιῆσαι πόλεμον μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων καὶ νικῆσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ ἐξουσία ἐπὶ πᾶσαν φυλὴν καὶ λαὸν καὶ γλῶσσαν καὶ ἔθνος.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
ἐδόθη δίδωμι G1325 V-API-3S ("was given")
πόλεμον πόλεμος G4171 N-ASM (war)
μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων ἅγιος G40 A-GPM (saints/holy ones)
νικῆσαι νικάω G3528 V-AAN (to conquer/overcome)
ἐξουσία ἐξουσία G1849 N-NSF (authority)
πᾶσαν φυλὴν φυλή G5443 N-ASF (every tribe)
λαὸν λαός G2992 N-ASM (people)
γλῶσσαν γλῶσσα G1100 N-ASF (tongue)
ἔθνος ἔθνος G1484 N-ASN (nation)

Parallel to Dan 7:21,25: "the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them" (Dan 7:21) = "was given to make war with the saints and to conquer them" (Rev 13:7). Also Dan 7:14's "all people, nations, and languages" parallels Rev 13:7's "every tribe and people and tongue and nation."

Revelation 4:2 -- Throne set in heaven

Greek Text: εὐθέως ἐγενόμην ἐν Πνεύματι· καὶ ἰδοὺ θρόνος ἔκειτο ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν θρόνον καθήμενος,

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
εὐθέως εὐθέως G2112 ADV (immediately)
ἐγενόμην γίνομαι G1096 V-2ADI-1S (Aor Mid Ind 1s, "I became/was")
ἐν Πνεύματι πνεῦμα G4151 N-DSN (in Spirit)
ἰδοὺ ὁράω G3708 V-2AMM-2S (behold!)
θρόνος θρόνος G2362 N-NSM (a throne)
ἔκειτο κεῖμαι G2749 V-INI-3S (Impf M/P Ind, "was set/was lying")
ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ οὐρανός G3772 N-DSM (in heaven)
θρόνον θρόνος G2362 N-ASM (the throne)
καθήμενος κάθημαι G2521 V-PNP-NSM (Pres M/P Ptcp, "one sitting")

Parallel to Dan 7:9: Both texts describe thrones being set/placed and someone sitting on the throne. Dan 7:9 uses כָרְסָוָן רְמִיו ("thrones were placed") and יְתִב ("sat"); Rev 4:2 uses θρόνος ἔκειτο ("a throne was set") and καθήμενος ("one sitting").

Revelation 4:3 -- Appearance of the One on the throne

Greek Text: καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ὅμοιος ὁράσει λίθῳ ἰάσπιδι καὶ σαρδίῳ, καὶ ἶρις κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου ὅμοιος ὁράσει σμαραγδίνῳ.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing

θρόνου θρόνος G2362 N-GSM (throne)

Revelation 4:4 -- Twenty-four elders on thrones

Greek Text: καὶ κυκλόθεν τοῦ θρόνου θρόνους εἴκοσι τέσσαρας, καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θρόνους εἴκοσι τέσσαρας πρεσβυτέρους καθημένους περιβεβλημένους ἐν ἱματίοις λευκοῖς, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν στεφάνους χρυσοῦς.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
κυκλόθεν κυκλόθεν G2943 ADV (round about)
θρόνου θρόνος G2362 N-GSM (the throne)
θρόνους θρόνος G2362 N-APM (thrones -- 24 of them)
εἴκοσι τέσσαρας twenty-four
πρεσβυτέρους πρεσβύτερος G4245 A-APM-C (elders)
καθημένους κάθημαι G2521 V-PNP-APM (sitting)
περιβεβλημένους περιβάλλω G4016 V-RPP-APM (Perf Pass Ptcp, "having been clothed")

στεφάνους στέφανος G4735 N-APM (crowns/wreaths)
χρυσοῦς χρυσοῦς G5552 A-APM (golden)

Parallel to Dan 7:9: Both scenes feature multiple thrones (Dan 7:9 כָרְסָוָן "thrones" plural; Rev 4:4 θρόνους "thrones" 24 of them) and white garments (Dan 7:9 לְבוּשֵׁהּ כִּתְלַג חִוָּר "his garment white as snow"; Rev 4:4 ἱματίοις λευκοῖς "white garments").
