rwp krisis
rwp@Revelation:18:10 @{Standing afar off} (\apo makrothen hestkotes\). Perfect active (intransitive) participle of \histmi\. Vivid picture of the terrible scene, fascinated by the lurid blaze (cf. Nero's delight in the burning of Rome in A.D. 64), and yet afraid to draw near. On \apo makrothen\ see strkjv@Mark:5:6|. There is a weird charm in a burning city. They feared the same fate (cf. verse 7| for \basanismou\, torment). {Woe, woe, the great city} (\ouai, ouai, h polis h megal\). Only example in the Apocalypse of the nominative with \ouai\ except verses 16,19|, though in strkjv@Luke:6:25| and common in LXX (Isaiah:5:7,11|, etc.). For the dative see strkjv@Revelation:8:13|, once so "strong" (\h ischura\)! {In one hour} (\mii hri\). Repeated in verses 16,19|, and like \mii hmeri\ (in one day) in verse 8|. Some MSS. have here \mian hran\, like \poian hran\ (accusative of extent of time) in strkjv@3:3|. See verse 8| (\ho krinas\) for \h krisis sou\ (thy judgment). This is the dirge of the kings.
