Key notes: ἐτελέσθη (aorist passive of τελέω) = "was completed/fulfilled"; θυμός (wrath/fury) — 1st of 2 thymos occurrences in Rev 15.

Rev 15:2

Greek: Καὶ εἶδον ὡς θάλασσαν ὑαλίνην μεμιγμένην πυρί, καὶ τοὺς νικῶντας ἐκ τοῦ θηρίου...

Key notes: μεμιγμένην (perfect passive participle) = "having been mingled" — the fire-glass fusion is a completed state. νικῶντας (present active participle) = "those conquering" — ongoing/characteristic action.

Rev 15:3

Greek: καὶ ᾄδουσιν τὴν ᾠδὴν Μωϋσέως τοῦ δούλου τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὴν ᾠδὴν τοῦ Ἀρνίου, λέγοντες Μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ τὰ ἔργα σου, Κύριε ὁ Θεός ὁ Παντοκράτωρ· δίκαιαι καὶ ἀληθιναὶ αἱ ὁδοί σου, ὁ Βασιλεὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν·

Key notes: δούλου = "servant/slave" — Moses as God's servant. N1904 reads ἐθνῶν ("nations") not ἁγίων ("saints") — "King of the nations" not "King of saints." δίκαιαι καὶ ἀληθιναί = "just/righteous and true" — cf. Deu 32:4 ("just and right is he").

Rev 15:4

Greek: τίς οὐ μὴ φοβηθῇ, Κύριε, καὶ δοξάσει τὸ ὄνομά σου; ὅτι μόνος ὅσιος, ὅτι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἥξουσιν καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν ἐνώπιόν σου, ὅτι τὰ δικαιώματά σου ἐφανερώθησαν.

Key notes: ὅσιος = "holy" (devout, pious — a different word from ἅγιος). δικαιώματα = "righteous judgments/ordinances" (not δίκαι = "judgments"). ἐφανερώθησαν = "were made manifest" (aorist passive).

Rev 15:5

Greek: Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἶδον, καὶ ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ,

CRITICAL — Triple-genitive construction: - ὁ ναός (nominative) — "the temple/shrine" - τῆς σκηνῆς (genitive) — "of the tabernacle/tent" - τοῦ μαρτυρίου (genitive) — "of the testimony/witness"

Structure: naos → [genitive] skenes → [genitive] martyriou = "the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony"

Rev 15:6

Greek: καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ ἑπτὰ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἔχοντες τὰς ἑπτὰ πληγὰς ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ, ἐνδεδυμένοι λίνον καθαρὸν λαμπρὸν καὶ περιεζωσμένοι περὶ τὰ στήθη ζώνας χρυσᾶς.

Key notes: Angels clothed in "pure bright linen" (λίνον καθαρὸν λαμπρόν) with golden girdles — priestly clothing. They come OUT of the temple (ἐκ τοῦ ναοῦ).

Rev 15:7

Greek: καὶ ἓν ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων ἔδωκεν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλοις ἑπτὰ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ζῶντος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.

CRITICAL — Vessel transformation comparison with Rev 5:8: - Rev 5:8: φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων (bowls golden full of-incense) - Rev 15:7: φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας τοῦ θυμοῦ (bowls golden full of-wrath) - IDENTICAL construction except contents: thymiamaton → thymou

Rev 15:8

Greek: καὶ ἐγεμίσθη ὁ ναὸς καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ναὸν ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ πληγαὶ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλων.

πληγαί	πληγή	G4127	N-NPF Nom Pl Fem

CRITICAL notes: - ἐγεμίσθη (aorist PASSIVE) — "was filled" — divine passive, God is the agent. Compare ἐγέμισεν (8:5, aorist ACTIVE) — angel actively fills censer. Voice shift from active to passive tracks the transition from human-mediated to divine-sourced. - καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης... καὶ ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως — smoke FROM glory AND FROM power. Dual source with ἐκ (from/out of). No OT parallel pairs doxa + dynamis as source. - οὐδεὶς ἐδύνατο εἰσελθεῖν — "no one was ABLE to enter" — imperfect tense (ἐδύνατο) = ongoing inability. Not a prohibition but physical/spiritual impossibility. - ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν — "until they should be completed" — aorist passive subjunctive with ἄχρι = indefinite temporal clause, duration until completion.

Rev 5:8 (Comparison)

Greek: ...ἔχοντες ἕκαστος κιθάραν καὶ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων, αἵ εἰσιν αἱ προσευχαὶ τῶν ἁγίων.

προσευχαί	προσευχή	G4335	N-NPF Nom Pl Fem

Key comparison: γεμούσας θυμιαμάτων (5:8) vs. γεμούσας τοῦ θυμοῦ (15:7) — same participle, same case, different content. Phonetic wordplay: θυμιαμάτων → θυμοῦ.

Rev 11:19 (Testimony Bracket)

Greek: καὶ ἠνοίγη ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ ὤφθη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ναῷ αὐτοῦ...

ἠνοίγη	ἀνοίγω	G455	V-2API-3S Aor Pass Ind 3rd Sg
ναός	ναός	G3485	N-NSM Nom Sg Masc

κιβωτός	κιβωτός	G2787	N-NSF Nom Sg Fem
διαθήκης	διαθήκη	G1242	N-GSF Gen Sg Fem

Bracket comparison: - Rev 11:19: ὁ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ... κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης (ark of the covenant/testament) - Rev 15:5: ὁ ναὸς τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου (temple of the tabernacle of the testimony)

Both verses use ἠνοίγη (same aorist passive form of ἀνοίγω = "was opened"). The temple opens at 11:19 revealing the ark of the covenant, and opens again at 15:5 with the testimony named explicitly. διαθήκη (covenant) and μαρτύριον (testimony) are complementary — the covenant/law is the testimony/standard.
