Wahyu 1:20

1:20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands is this: ⁴  The seven stars are the angels ⁵  of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Wahyu 17:9

17:9 (This requires ⁶  a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains ⁷  the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

[8:2]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[8:6]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[8:6]  ³ tn Grk “having.”

[1:20]  ⁴ tn The words “is this” are supplied to make a complete sentence in English.

[1:20]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps “the messengers.”

[17:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “Here is the mind that has wisdom.”

[17:9]  ⁷ tn It is important to note that the height of “mountains” versus “hills” or other topographical terms is somewhat relative. In terms of Palestinian topography, Mount Tabor (traditionally regarded as the mount of transfiguration) is some 1,800 ft (550 m) above sea level, while the Mount of Olives is only some 100 ft (30 m) higher than Jerusalem.
