Greek Parsing -- Raw Tool Output

Revelation 4:2

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

καθήμενος κάθημαι G2521 V-PNP-NSM Pres M/P Ptcp Nom Sg Masc ("one sitting")

KEY: ἔκειτο (imperfect of keimai) = "was set/lying" -- continuous state, not a new action. The throne was ALREADY there.

θρόνους θρόνος G2362 N-APM Acc Pl Masc -- thrones
εἴκοσι τέσσαρας - G1501/G5064 twenty-four
πρεσβυτέρους πρεσβύτερος G4245 A-APM-C Acc Pl Masc -- elders
καθημένους κάθημαι G2521 Pres M/P Ptcp Acc Pl Masc -- sitting

λευκοῖς λευκός G3022 A-DPN -- white
στεφάνους στέφανος G4735 N-APM -- crowns (victor's wreaths)

Greek: καὶ ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου ἐκπορεύονται ἀστραπαὶ καὶ φωναὶ καὶ βρονταί· καὶ ἑπτὰ λαμπάδες πυρὸς καιόμεναι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θρόνου, ἅ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ Πνεύματα τοῦ Θεοῦ·

καιόμεναι καίω G2545 V-PPP-NPF Pres Pass Ptcp -- burning
Πνεύματα πνεῦμα G4151 N-NPN -- Spirits

KEY: ἐκπορεύονται is PRESENT tense = ongoing, continuous proceeding. The theophany elements continuously emanate from the throne. εἰσιν (present "are") = equative identification: the lamps ARE the seven Spirits.

Revelation 4:8

Greek: καὶ τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα, ἓν καθ' ἓν αὐτῶν ἔχων ἀνὰ πτέρυγας ἕξ, κυκλόθεν καὶ ἔσωθεν γέμουσιν ὀφθαλμῶν· καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς λέγοντες Ἅγιος ἅγιος ἅγιος Κύριος ὁ Θεός ὁ Παντοκράτωρ, ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος.

ὁ ὢν εἰμί G1510 V-PAP-NSM -- "the [one who] is"
ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἔρχομαι G2064 V-PNP-NSM -- "the [one who] is coming"

KEY: Temporal formula: ὁ ἦν (impf: "was") + ὁ ὢν (pres ptcp: "is") + ὁ ἐρχόμενος (pres ptcp: "coming"). This is NOT a tense-variant of the divine name but a philosophical expression of eternity.

Revelation 5:5

Greek: καὶ εἷς ἐκ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων λέγει μοι Μὴ κλαῖε· ἰδοὺ ἐνίκησεν ὁ Λέων ὁ ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα, ἡ Ῥίζα Δαυείδ, ἀνοῖξαι τὸ βιβλίον καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing

σφραγῖδας σφραγίς G4973 N-APF -- seals

KEY: ἐνίκησεν (aorist) = completed victory. The conquest is a done deed. ἀνοῖξαι (aorist infinitive of purpose) = "so as to open."

Revelation 5:6

Greek: Καὶ εἶδον ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ θρόνου καὶ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Ἀρνίον ἑστηκὸς ὡς ἐσφαγμένον, ἔχων κέρατα ἑπτὰ καὶ ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑπτά, οἵ εἰσιν τὰ ἑπτὰ Πνεύματα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀπεσταλμένοι εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
εἶδον ὁράω G3708 V-2AAI-1S Aor Act Ind -- "I saw"

ὀφθαλμούς ὀφθαλμός G3788 N-APM -- eyes
ἀπεσταλμένοι ἀποστέλλω G649 V-RPP-NPM Perf Pass Ptcp -- "having been sent forth"

KEY: Three PERFECT participles in one verse: 1. ἑστηκός (standing) = completed action with ongoing result: the Lamb stands permanently 2. ἐσφαγμένον (having been slain) = completed action with ongoing result: bears marks of slaughter 3. ἀπεσταλμένοι (having been sent forth) = completed action with ongoing result: Spirits permanently deployed The Lamb SIMULTANEOUSLY stands (alive) and bears the marks of slaughter (dead). Paradox of sacrifice and sovereignty.

Revelation 5:7

Greek: καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ εἴληφεν ἐκ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ καθημένου ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
ἦλθεν ἔρχομαι G2064 V-2AAI-3S Aor Act Ind -- "he came"
εἴληφεν λαμβάνω G2983 V-2RAI-3S Perf Act Ind -- "he has taken"
δεξιᾶς δεξιός G1188 A-GSF -- right (hand)
καθημένου κάθημαι G2521 Pres M/P Ptcp Gen Sg -- "the one sitting"

KEY: ἦλθεν (aorist "came") + εἴληφεν (PERFECT "has taken/received") = two-step action: approach + reception. The perfect tense of "taken" emphasizes the permanent, completed nature of the reception. This parallels Dan 7:13-14 where the Son of Man "came to the Ancient of Days" and "there was given him dominion."

Revelation 5:8

Greek: Καὶ ὅτε ἔλαβεν τὸ βιβλίον, τὰ τέσσερα ζῷα καὶ οἱ εἴκοσι τέσσαρες πρεσβύτεροι ἔπεσαν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Ἀρνίου, ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων.

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing
ἔλαβεν λαμβάνω G2983 V-2AAI-3S Aor Act Ind -- "he took/received"
βιβλίον βιβλίον G975 N-ASN -- scroll
ἔπεσαν πίπτω G4098 V-2AAI-3P Aor Act Ind -- "they fell"
Ἀρνίου ἀρνίον G721 N-GSN Gen Sg -- "of the Lamb"

αἵ εἰσιν - - "which ARE" (equative present)
προσευχαί προσευχή G4335 N-NPF -- prayers
ἁγίων ἅγιος G40 A-GPM -- of the saints/holy ones

KEY: αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαί = "which ARE the prayers" -- equative present, direct identification. The incense IS the prayers, not merely "represents" them.

Revelation 5:9

Greek: καὶ ᾄδουσιν ᾠδὴν καινὴν λέγοντες Ἄξιος εἶ λαβεῖν τὸ βιβλίον καὶ ἀνοῖξαι τὰς σφραγῖδας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσφάγης καὶ ἠγόρασας τῷ Θεῷ ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου ἐκ πάσης φυλῆς καὶ γλώσσης καὶ λαοῦ καὶ ἔθνους,

Word Lemma Strong's Parsing

ἠγόρασας ἀγοράζω G59 V-AAI-2S Aor Act Ind -- "you purchased/redeemed"
αἵματί αἷμα G129 N-DSN -- blood
φυλῆς φυλή G5443 N-GSF -- tribe
γλώσσης γλῶσσα G1100 N-GSF -- tongue
λαοῦ λαός G2992 N-GSM -- people
ἔθνους ἔθνος G1484 N-GSN -- nation

KEY: ἐσφάγης (aorist passive "you were slain") + ἠγόρασας (aorist active "you purchased") = sacrifice (passive) yields redemption (active). The worthiness is grounded in the completed act of sacrificial death. Fourfold universality: tribe, tongue, people, nation.

Revelation 5:12

Greek: λέγοντες φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἄξιός ἐστιν τὸ Ἀρνίον τὸ ἐσφαγμένον λαβεῖν τὴν δύναμιν καὶ πλοῦτον καὶ σοφίαν καὶ ἰσχὺν καὶ τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν καὶ εὐλογίαν.

Sevenfold doxology: δύναμιν (power) + πλοῦτον (riches) + σοφίαν (wisdom) + ἰσχύν (strength) + τιμήν (honor) + δόξαν (glory) + εὐλογίαν (blessing)

KEY: τὸ ἐσφαγμένον (perf pass ptcp with article) = "THE one having been slain" -- the slaying defines the Lamb's identity permanently. Seven attributes = completeness of what the Lamb deserves.

Revelation 5:13

Greek: καὶ πᾶν κτίσμα ὃ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὑποκάτω τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐστίν, καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς πάντα, ἤκουσα λέγοντας Τῷ καθημένῳ ἐπὶ τῷ θρόνῳ καὶ τῷ Ἀρνίῳ ἡ εὐλογία καὶ ἡ τιμὴ καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

KEY: Τῷ καθημένῳ...καὶ τῷ Ἀρνίῳ = dative of recipient. God AND the Lamb receive worship jointly -- co-equal recipients of universal praise. Fourfold doxology: blessing + honor + glory + power. εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων = "unto the ages of the ages" (forever and ever).
