The One ^awho is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power ^band reigned.

And the time of the ^bdead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

Was opened (hnoigh). Second aorist passive indicative of anoigw, with augment on the preposition as in Revelation 15:5. For the sanctuary (naov) of God in heaven see Revelation 3:12; Revelation 7:15; Revelation 15:5 ff.; Revelation 21:22.

Was seen (wfqh). First aorist passive indicative of oraw.

The ark of his covenant (h kibwtov thv diaqhkhv autou). The sacred ark within the second veil of the tabernacle (Hebrews 9:4) and in the inner chamber of Solomon's temple (I Kings 8:6) which probably perished when Nebuchadrezzar burnt the temple (II Kings 25:9; Jeremiah 3:16). For the symbols of majesty and power in nature here see also Revelation 6:12; Revelation 8:5; Revelation 11:13; Revelation 16:18, Revelation 16:21.
