Revelation 5:7
1863–1934
Southern Baptist
SCRIPTURE
"And he came, and he taketh [it] out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne." — Revelation 5:7 (ASV)
He taketh (ειληφεν). Perfect active indicative of λαμβανω, not used for the aorist (cf. ηλθεν, he came), but vivid dramatic picture of the actual scene, "he has taken it."
