Greek Commentary for Revelation 15:1
Looking back to Revelation 12:1, Revelation 12:3, after the series intervening. The Seven Bowls are parallel with the Seven Seals (ch. Rev 6) and the Seven Trumpets (chapters Rev 8-11), but there is an even closer connection with chapters Rev 12-14, “the drama of the long conflict between the church and the world” (Swete). [source]
Ταυμαστος Thaumastos is an old verbal adjective (from ταυμαζω thaumazō to wonder) and is already in Matthew 21:42. The wonder extends to the end of this vision or sign (Revelation 16:21).Seven angels (αγγελους επτα aggelous hepta). Accusative case in apposition with σημειον sēmeion after ειδον eidon Cf. Revelation 8:2.Which are the last “Seven plagues the last.” As in Revelation 21:9, “the final cycle of such visitations” (Swete).Is finished (ετελεστη etelesthē). Proleptic prophetic first aorist passive indicative of τελεω teleō as in Revelation 10:7. The number seven seems particularly appropriate here for finality and completeness. [source]

More correctly, brought to an end ( τέλος ). Rev., finished. Lit., was finished, the prophetic aorist, which speaks of a thing foreseen and decided as if already done. [source]

Lit., having laid on blows. Blows or stripes is the usual sense of the word in the New Testament. See Luke 12:48; Acts 16:23. It has the metaphorical sense of plagues in Revelation 15:1, Revelation 15:6, Revelation 15:8, etc. [source]
Imperfect active describing the journey.Fell among robbers (ληισταις περιεπεσεν lēistais periepesen). Second aorist ingressive active indicative of περιπιπτω peripiptō old verb with associative instrumental case, to fall among and to be encompassed by (περι peri around), to be surrounded by robbers. A common experience to this day on the road to Jericho. The Romans placed a fort on this “red and bloody way.” These were bandits, not petty thieves.Stripped Of his clothing as well as of his money, the meanest sort of robbers.Beat him (πληγας επιτεντες plēgas epithentes). Second aorist active participle of επιτιτημι epitithēmi a common verb. Literally, “placing strokes or blows” (πληγας plēgas plagues) upon him. See Luke 12:48; Acts 16:23; and Revelation 15:1, Revelation 15:6, and Revelation 15:8 for “plagues.”Half-dead Late word from ημι hēmi half, and τνησκω thnēskō to die. Only here in the N.T. Vivid picture of the robbery. [source]

So in apodosis often (Revelation 14:10).Is finished (ετελεστη etelesthē). First aorist passive indicative of τελεω teleō proleptic or futuristic use of the aorist as in 1 Corinthians 7:28. So also Revelation 15:1.The mystery of God This same phrase by Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:1; Colossians 2:2. Here apparently the whole purpose of God in human history is meant.According to the good tidings which he declared (ως ευηγγελισεν hōs euēggelisen). “As he gospelized to,” first aorist active indicative of ευαγγελιζω euaggelizō a rare use of the active as in Revelation 14:6 with the accusative. See the middle so used in Galatians 1:9; 1 Peter 1:12. See Amos 3:7; Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 25:4 for this idea in the O.T. prophets who hoped for a cleaning up of all mysteries in the last days.

This “sign” is really a τερας teras (wonder), as it is so by association in Matthew 24:24; John 4:48; Acts 2:22; Acts 5:12. The element of wonder is not in the word σημειον sēmeion as in τερας teras but often in the thing itself as in Luke 21:11; John 9:16; Revelation 13:13.; Revelation 15:1; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:20.

First aorist (urgency) active imperative of τεριζω therizō old verb (from τερος theros summer), as in Matthew 6:26.

Old, but rare word (from τεριζω therizō to harvest), as in Matthew 13:30; John 4:35, here only in Revelation.Is over-ripe First aorist (prophetic as in Revelation 10:7; Revelation 15:1) passive of χηραινω xērainō (cf. James 1:11), to wither, to dry up. Perhaps just “ripe,” not “over-ripe.” Cf. Joel 1:17. [source]
