a
The Revisers give rightly "seven plagues, the last" (that is, such as are the last), not "the seven last plagues" as in the KJV. The reason is annexed why they were not the last—because in them was finished the wrath of God.
b
The word "finished" is the true rendering of etelesthē, not "filled up," which would answer rather to eplērōē, the reading of no copy whatever.
