AMP Footnotes
John is describing a rod that is about six feet long.
The Greek corresponds to a Hebrew verb meaning “to stand” or “arise” which can be an instruction to prepare to fulfill a command, somewhat similar to the military command “attention.”
See note 6:12.
In Revelation John sometimes uses the present tense to refer vividly to the future.
Lit names of people.
These give glory out of servile fear, not worship from the heart.
