Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
οἱ ἀστέρες τοῦ οὐρανοῦ
the stars ˱of˲_the sky
It might seem that the expression the stars of the sky contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “the stars”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἔπεσαν
fell
The point of this comparison is that just as all the fruit on a fig tree might fall at once if a great wind shook the tree, so John saw all of the stars fall at once. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “all fell at once”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑπὸ ἀνέμου μεγάλου σειομένη
by /a/_wind great /being/_shaken
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, with no comma preceding: “when a great wind shakes it”
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ὡς συκῆ βάλλει τοὺς ὀλύνθους αὐτῆς
as /a/_fig_tree /is/_casting the unripe_figs ˱of˲_it
If your readers would not be familiar with a fig tree, you could use the name of a fruit tree that they would recognize or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “as a fruit tree drops its late-ripening fruit”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
τοὺς ὀλύνθους
the unripe_figs
The term unripe describes fruit that normally remains on a tree and ripens later. Alternate translation: “later-ripening fruit”
