Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ ζῶντι εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
˱to˲_the_‹one› living to the ages ˱of˲_the ages
John assumes that his readers will understand that the angel is referring to God with this expression. You can indicate that explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “by the eternal God”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
to the ages ˱of˲_the ages
This expression refers to endless future time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for all eternity”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ, καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ
¬the heaven and the_‹things› in it and the earth and the_‹things› in it and the sea and the_‹things› in it
The angel is using the three parts of creation to mean all of creation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “the entire creation”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
χρόνος οὐκέτι
time no_longer
In this context, the word time means a delay. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “no further delay”
10:5-6 While raising one’s right hand is common in taking an oath today, it is rare in biblical literature (cp. Gen 14:22; 24:9; Dan 12:7).
• When making an oath, Jews were very careful not to swear lightly by God’s name (see Exod 20:7). Jesus also rebuked insincere oath-taking (see Matt 5:33-37; 23:16-22). When God swore an oath, he did so in his own name as the highest possible point of reference (see Gen 22:16; Ps 89:35-36; Jer 22:5; Heb 6:13-18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
