Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον
¬the heaven /was/_separating like /a/_scroll /being/_rolled_up
If your language does not use these passive forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the sky rolled up as a scroll does when it splits”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον
¬the heaven /was/_separating like /a/_scroll /being/_rolled_up
The point of this comparison is that the sky went away, just as a scroll would roll away to the two sides of a surface if it split while someone had it spread out on that surface. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “the sky rolled away and disappeared, just as a scroll rolls up in two pieces if it splits”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐκ τῶν τόπων αὐτῶν ἐκινήθησαν
out_of the places ˱of˲_them /were/_moved
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “moved from their places”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκ τῶν τόπων αὐτῶν ἐκινήθησαν
out_of the places ˱of˲_them /were/_moved
The implication is that the mountains and islands disappeared when they were removed from their places. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “moved from their places and disappeared”
6:1–16:21 Three sets of seven judgments—the seals, trumpets, and bowls—form the core of Revelation. Some suggest that the judgments form a chronological sequence from beginning to end, with each set of judgments flowing from the seventh judgment of the previous set for a total of twenty-one successive judgments. More likely, the relationship is cyclical (as in other Jewish apocalyptic works; cp. Dan 2, 7, 8, 11), with each set conveying increasing intensity and adding new details of God’s judgment on those who rebel against him. In this perspective, all three cycles end at the same chronological point, with the return of Christ.

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.
