A warning from John




και ειπεν μοι ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι και κυριος ο θεος των αγιων προφητων απεστειλεν τον αγγελον αυτου δειξαι τοις δουλοις αυτου α δει γενεσθαι εν ταχει

kai eipen moi outoi oi logoi pistoi kai alhqinoi kai o kurios o qeos twn pneumatwn twn profhtwn apesteilen ton aggelon autou deixai tois doulois autou a dei genesqai en tacei

Rev 22.6 And he said to me, These Words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His slaves what must happen quickly.





ιδου ερχομαι ταχυ μακαριος ο τηρων τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου

kai idou ercomai tacu makarios o thrwn tous logous ths profhteias tou bibliou toutou

Rev 22.7 Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the Words of the prophecy of this Book.





και εγω ιωαννης ο βλεπων ταυτα και ακουων και οτε ηκουσα και εβλεψα επεσα προσκυνησαι εμπροσθεν των ποδων του αγγελου του δεικνυοντος μοι ταυτα

kagw iwannhs o akouwn kai blepwn tauta kai ote hkousa kai ebleya epesa proskunhsai emprosqen twn podwn tou aggelou tou deiknuontos moi tauta

Rev 22.8 And I, John, was the one seeing and hearing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things.





και λεγει μοι ορα μη συνδουλος σου γαρ ειμι και των αδελφων σου των προφητων και των τηρουντων τους λογους του βιβλιου τουτου τω θεω προσκυνησον

kai legei moi ora mh sundoulos sou eimi kai twn adelfwn sou twn profhtwn kai twn thrountwn tous logous tou bibliou toutou tw qew proskunhson

Rev 22.9 And he said to me, Behold! Stop! For I am your fellow-slave, and of your brothers the prophets, and of the ones keeping the Words of this Book. Do worship to God.





και λεγει μοι μη σφραγισης τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου οτι ο καιρος εγγυς εστιν

kai legei moi mh sfragishs tous logous ths profhteias tou bibliou toutou o kairos gar eggus estin

Rev 22.10 And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book, because the time is near.





συμμαρτυρουμαι γαρ παντι ακουοντι τους λογους της προφητειας του βιβλιου τουτου εαν τις επιτιθη προς ταυτα επιθησει ο θεος επ αυτον τας πληγας τας γεγραμμενας εν βιβλιω τουτω

marturw egw panti tw akouonti tous logous ths profhteias tou bibliou toutou ean tis epiqh ep auta epiqhsei o qeos ep auton tas plhgas tas gegrammenas en tw bibliw toutw

Rev 22.18 For I testify together with everyone hearing the Words of the prophecy of this Book, if anyone adds to these things, God will add upon him the plagues having been written in this Book.





και εαν τις αφαιρη απο των λογων βιβλου της προφητειας ταυτης αφαιρησει ο θεος το μερος αυτου απο βιβλου της ζωης και εκ της πολεως της αγιας και των γεγραμμενων εν βιβλιω τουτω

kai ean tis afelh apo twn logwn tou bibliou ths profhteias tauths afelei o qeos to meros autou apo tou xulou ths zwhs kai ek ths polews ths agias twn gegrammenwn en tw bibliw toutw

Rev 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and of the things having been written in this Book.

Summary of 81.27:

• The Book of Revelation dictates Koranic Eschatology
• Revelation reminds us that it is John that is the one who has written down, in a book, what he has heard and seen
• We are told that these words are faithful and true
• Revelation also informs us that these things will occur “tachos”, or quickly; that Jesus will come “tachu”, or without delay; for the time is “eggus”, or near
• 81.27 begins with the particle “in”, “denoting the happening of the second of two events in consequence of the happening of the first, whether the second be immediate or deferred, and whether the condition be affirmation or negative”
• “In” is referencing an event that is the consequence of an event that was previously described in 81.26 – which was Jesus being caught up to the Throne of God
• The second of these two events is the Second coming of Jesus which Revelation tells must occur quickly
• The events that have been described are being related by “huwa”, or him (i.e. John)
• 81.27 further elaborates upon these events via the usage of “thikrun”, which means a warning.
• “Thikrun” also carries with it the definition of “a book containing an exposition of religion, and an institution of religious laws; any book of the prophets: and especially the Koran: and the Book of Law revealed to Moses”
• Examining all Koranic locations of “thikrun” demonstrates a warning given by Biblical Prophets
• John is delivering this warning
• Revelation warns against anyone adding or subtracting to the words of prophecy of this book
• 81.27 reveals that the warning given is of the “lilAAalameena”, or Jinn, genii, and of mankind
• Interestingly, this is an admission by the Koranic authors as to where the Koranic concept of the Jinn actually have their genesis (i.e. from the Book of Revelation)
