rwp@
John:13:32 @{In himself} (\en hauti\). Reflexive pronoun. God is the source of the glory (17:5|) and is the glory succeeding the Cross (the glory with the Father in heaven). {And straightway} (\kai euthus\). No postponement now. First and quickly the Cross, then the Ascension.
rwp@Revelation:6:16 @{They say} (\legousin\). Vivid dramatic present active indicative, as is natural here. {Fall on us} (\Pesate eph' hms\). Second aorist (first aorist ending) imperative of \pipt\, tense of urgency, do it now. {And hide us} (\kai krupsate hms\). Same tense of urgency again from \krupt\ (verb in verse 15|). Both imperatives come in inverted order from strkjv@Hosea:10:8| with \kalupsate\ (cover) in place of \krupsate\ (hide), quoted by Jesus on the way to the Cross (Luke:23:30|) in the order here, but with \kalupsate\, not \krupsate\. {From the face of him that} (\apo prospou tou\, etc.). "What sinners dread most is not death, but the revealed Presence of God" (Swete). Cf. strkjv@Genesis:3:8|. {And from the wrath of the Lamb} (\kai apo ts orgs tou arniou\). Repetition of "the grave irony" (Swete) of strkjv@5:5f|. The Lamb is the Lion again in the terribleness of his wrath. Recall the mourning in strkjv@1:7|. See strkjv@Matthew:25:41ff.| where Jesus pronounces the woes on the wicked.
