Revelation 10:5

5 et angelum quem vidi stantem supra mare et supra terram levavit manum suam ad caelum

Revelation 10:5 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 10:5

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the
earth
His right foot being on the one, and his left foot upon the other, as described in ( Revelation 10:2 ) ;

lifted up his hand to heaven;
the Oriental versions read, "his right hand"; and so some copies, and the Complutensian edition: the man clothed in linen, ( Daniel 12:6 Daniel 12:7 ) , who is the same with the angel here, held up both his hands; the lifting up of the hand was a gesture used in swearing: see ( Genesis 14:22 ) ; so the Jews say ^F15, "the right hand", or by the right hand, (hewby wz) , "this is an oath", according to ( Daniel 12:7 ) ; or whether the right hand or the left, is an oath, according to ( Isaiah 62:8 ) .

Revelation 10:5 In-Context

3 et clamavit voce magna quemadmodum cum leo rugit et cum clamasset locuta sunt septem tonitrua voces suas

4 et cum locuta fuissent septem tonitrua scripturus eram et audivi vocem de caelo dicentem signa quae locuta sunt septem tonitrua et noli ea scribere

5 et angelum quem vidi stantem supra mare et supra terram levavit manum suam ad caelum

6 et iuravit per viventem in saecula saeculorum qui creavit caelum et ea quae in illo sunt et terram et ea quae in ea sunt et mare et quae in eo sunt quia tempus amplius non erit

7 sed in diebus vocis septimi angeli cum coeperit tuba canere et consummabitur mysterium Dei sicut evangelizavit per servos suos prophetas
