On the other hand, there are at least three heavens, 2 Cor. 12:2, and they may have come out of the third, into the second. This is the only mention of the tabernacle of the testimony in Revelation, so the throne of God wasn’t there and none of the action related by John up to this point took place there—there have been several references to the temple, with angels coming out of it, but I doubt that temple and tabernacle are to be equated.) οἳ ἦσαν§οι ησαν f35 Ma,b,e⅖,f,g,i CP,RP,HF,OC ¦ — Md,e⅗,h 𝕻47ℵA,C,NU,TR ἐνδεδυμένοι λίνον καθαρὸν λαμπρὸν*λινον καθαρον λαμπρον rell ¦ λινουν 23 𝕻47 ¦ ~ καθαρους λινους λαμπρους ℵ ¦ λιθον 23 A,C ¦ 12 και 3 TR καὶ περιεζωσμένοι περὶ τὰ στήθη ζώνας χρυσᾶς. 7 Καὶ ἓν ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ζῴων ἔδωκεν τοῖς ἑπτὰ ἀγγέλοις ἑπτὰ φιάλας χρυσᾶς γεμούσας τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῦ ζῶντος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. 8 Καὶ ἐγεμίσθη ὁ ναὸς†ναος f35 Md,e,g,h,ipt ℵA,C,CP,RP,NU,TR ¦ 1 εκ του Ma,b,f⅔(⅓),ipt 𝕻47v,HF,OC καπνοῦ ἐκ τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἐκ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἠδύνατο‡ηδυνατο f35 Ma⅕,b,d,e,g⅕,h⅗,ipt ℵ,CP,TR ¦ εδυνατο Ma,e⅙,f,g,h⅖,ipt A,C,RP,HF,OC,NU (Both spellings are known since classical times and apparently don’t affect the sense.) εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ναὸν ἄχρι τελεσθῶσιν αἱ ἑπτὰ πληγαὶ τῶν§των f35 Md,e CP ¦ 1 επτα Ma,b,e¼,f,g,h,i ℵA,C,RP,HF,OC,NU,TR ἀγγέλων.
