Andrew and Brothers,

I emailed the author, of the above extract, regarding the 1599 Geneva Bible translation of Rev. 11:17, and this was the respond:


The reason that the GB translators used that term was because the word
behind "reign" in Revelation 11:17 in the AV is "basileuo" which means to reign or have authority. The word the GB translators used is the only cognate of that word, it is the word "basileia" which means"kingdom, kingship, or reign." This shows they used the right manuscripts in translation.
