19:11–20:15 The drama moves into its climactic scenes: God’s enemies are defeated and punished in two episodes (19:11-21; 20:7-10). Meanwhile, the faithful experience a 1,000-year resurrection (20:1-6) followed by the final judgment (20:11-15).
19:11-16 Then I saw: John describes a new vision of Jesus Christ as the holy warrior and conquering King (see 14:1; see also Exod 15:1-7; Pss 24:8; 78:49-50; Isa 59:16-17).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εἶδον τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον
˱I˲_saw ¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
When John says that heaven had been opened, he likely means by association that in his vision, God created some opening that allowed him to see into heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God allowed me to look into heaven”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸν οὐρανὸν ἠνεῳγμένον
¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
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. If you need to say who did the action, the context suggests that it was God. Alternate translation: “that God had opened heaven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ’ αὐτὸν, Πιστὸς καλούμενος καὶ Ἀληθινός
the_‹one› sitting on it Faithful /being/_called and True
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: “the one whom people call Faithful and True riding on it”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
ὁ καθήμενος ἐπ’ αὐτὸν, Πιστὸς καλούμενος καὶ Ἀληθινός
the_‹one› sitting on it Faithful /being/_called and True
This could mean: (1) that Faithful and True are two names by which people call Jesus. Alternate translation: “the one riding on it, two of whose names are Faithful and True” (2) that “faithful” and “true” are two qualities that people ascribe to Jesus. Alternate translation: “the one riding on it, whom people acknowledge to be faithful and true”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
Πιστὸς & καὶ Ἀληθινός
Faithful & and True
The terms Faithful and True mean similar things. John is mentioning the two names together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “Supremely Faithful” or “Entirely True”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ
in righteousness
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of righteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “righteously”
